Today's Song for Red - Verb! That's What's Happenin!

Posted at 3:04 PM on October 20, 2007 by Tony Lopez (16 Comments)

There's something extremely satisfying about sharing your childhood memories with your own children in a very real way. And if I can squeeze in some knowledge, well, then, nobody's a loser! Am I right parents?

We got the "Schoolhouse Rock" DVD in the mail the other day and I felt like I was shot back through time. So, I took Red with me. I was amazed that, after all these years, I could still remember the lyrics. But that was the whole point, wasn't it? It's a lot easier to recall the multiplication table when there's a catchy tune to remind you what eight times eight is.

I particularly enjoyed Grammar Rock. You had nouns, adjectives, and conjunctions. And who could ever forget Verb? That song absolutely kills! It had to be fast and funky. It's a verb, for crying out loud!
