I'm glad it's not just me that expects people to start singing whenever the preamble to the Constitution is read aloud!

Did you know that you can learn lots of things if they are set to music? I learned this from my grandmother, who taught in a one-room school in southern Indiana.

I made it through zoology class by making up songs such as this (tune is "Yankee Doodle"):

Sponges are Porifera,
Corals, jellies, hydra,
These have metagenesis and are Coelenterata.
Collar cells--Porifera; Sting---Colenterata.
Both lack mesoderm and are
The diploblastic phyla.

Twenty years later..and I can still sing it!

I think "Schoolhouse Rocks" was great, and my son learned a lot of information from it!
