Yeah, yeah, we all remember the Verb superhero and Interplanet Janet. But the important question is this: how much useful information did you gain from all those Saturday mornings spent absorbing the Schoolhouse Rock canon?

Today’s quiz tests Schoolhouse Rock as much as it does you, by measuring the amount of actual education that’s stuck with you in the fields of grammar, science, and American history/government. (We’re going to trust that you know your multiplication tables.)

  1. Haha, I had no idea how I remembered the name of the inventor of the sewing machine…until you mentioned that the Beatles’ “Help!” was dedicated to him.
    Thank you, Beatles for teaching me everything I know.

  2. I loved Schoolhouse Rock and I passed it on to my son when he was old enough and he has learned from it, even before he started school.

    I only wish they would put all the songs on a CD because I think it’s just a Best of that’s available now.

  3. Sarah, you can buy the DVD or CD of all the Schoolhouse programs. My daughters love them. My youngest is six, and it just cracks me up when she wanders around singing, “I’m just a Bill, yes I’m only a Bill…” Look around at your local retail giant to see if you can findthem.

  4. Ha, yeah, I knew the sewing machine from Help! as well…

    and the tilted planet from Blue’s Clues.

    Problem is, I’m 26 with no kids, so I have no right knowing a Blue’s Clues song…but there ya go.
