Xanadu 2012: The Ballad of Ralph Nader |
Category: Inspiration 3 comments 5 Apr 2007 @ 09:29 by jazzolog : Schoolhouse RockYes! Wonderful to see mention of this stupendous series of educator tools. I really noticed it only recently as I sat in a classroom with one of SR's math videos going...and suddenly my ears pricked up as I heard unmistakably clever lyrics being sung, I think, by jazz trumpeter (and bon vivant) Jack Sheldon. Soon I thought I heard Frishberg's often-writing and -performing partner Bob Dorough deliver a tune about bank deposits or something. I went to Google and found out, sure enough, these guys contributed words and music for the project. I was unaware he wrote anything about Nader. Surely you know some of his other songs, like Peel Me A Grape, My Attorney Bernie...and everybody's baseball favorite Van Lingle Mungo. 5 Apr 2007 @ 14:00 by jmarc : Linkage Catch up on all of the old tunes {LINK:http://www.school-house-rock.com/|HERE}.
