“Naughty Number 9” and “I’m Just a Bill (sitting here om Capitol Hill)” have been my favorites.

They should broadcast these exactly as they were created. They are still fun and interesting enough to engage young children.

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,

Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,

Here once the embattled farmers stood,

And fired the shot heard round the world..”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
( written for the 1837 dedication of the Obelisk,
a monument in Concord, Massachusetts commemorating the Battle of Concord,
the second in a series of battles and skirmishes on April 19, 1775
at the outbreak of the American Revolution.)

I remember! Saturday morning cartoons and a big bowl of Captain Crunch.

That page also has a link to “No More King” by Schoolhouse Rock. I love that one.

Frosted Flakes. And I can still sing Only a Bill and the Preamble to the Constitution. Good stuff.
