Blast from the Past: Schoolhouse Rock!

As I said earlier, the news is thin today, and I am among a small group of bloggers posting new things today. But I'm bored, and this is fun, so so what?

This batch of videos will also delight the 70s child in you, unless you're inner child is younger than that. If you're too young to remember these clips, do yourself a favor and watch them anyway, if only for the pop-culture knowledge. And hey, you might learn something. Enjoy.

The Simpsons vs. Schoolhouse Rock

I've always wanted to see these two clips together somewhere, and just realized (hat-tip to Politico.com, see post below), I have that power! The genious behind the second clip, from The Simpsons is in its fantastic satire while being educational, and in its use of the original voice of "Bill," Jack Sheldon. If you're like my friend, Lesto, and you've never watched The Simpsons, do yourself a favor and watch the second clip (first one too, for context). You'll finally get what all the fuss is about!

The Simpsons: An Amendment to Be



02/22/08 UPDATE: Yup, they removed it again. But I found this one from a German broadcast! The song is still in English. If you get nuffin', see note at bottom.

02/15/08 UPDATE: I found a working link. If it disappears again, see note below.

12/26/07 UPDATE: Sorry folks, but is wont to happen with these clips, FOX has apparently pulled the video. I fail to see why, as all these YouTube clips do is keep interest going in their projects, and raise the profile of their properties. My site has made a whopping 81 cents since it debuted, and I can't even cash that out. I am not putting a dent in Rupert Murdoch's profits.
