Dearie and Dorough are both major Schoolhouse Rock figures.

I’ve been on a major Blossom Dearie kick so more links are coming.

(The New York Times) -- When I was in second grade, my teacher held a contest: The first students to memorize their multiplication tables would get dinner at McDonald’s. I was one of them. I’d like to credit hard work or the motivation of those golden fries, but in truth it was easy. I learned it from “Schoolhouse Rock.”

It was not the last time that watching too much TV would pay off for me, but it was perhaps the sweetest.

If you were an American kid around when I was (nineteen-seventy-cough), you probably have “Schoolhouse Rock” hard-wired into your brain too. The musical shorts, which began airing on ABC in 1973, taught Generation X multiplication, grammar, history and, eventually, nostalgia...

... But whatever its limits, “Schoolhouse Rock” at least told us we were equal: We counted with the same numbers, our hearts pumped the same blood, we were entitled to the same inalienable rights.

And it operated in a period when people saw the same media and accepted the same facts. Months after its premiere, the Watergate hearings also aired on national TV. They were able eventually to turn even many Republicans against President Nixon, in part because Americans watched the same story together, without a partisan cable and internet ecosystem to spin the investigation as a witch hunt.

It’s tempting to say that you couldn’t make “Schoolhouse Rock” again today. But I’m sure you could, even if it would be slightly different. Current kids’ shows like Netflix’s “We the People” are in a way exactly that. What you couldn’t create again today is the mass audience, or the context in which we assembled, one nation, sitting cross-legged in front of our cathode-ray teacher.

Us ‘90s kids (late Milennials and early Gen Z) as well!

About the anon who was talking about Demetri having some kind of time powers and it got passed down to MC (which is my theory also). They mentioned the number ten seems sus, but did they also notice in the tattoo options that one of the tattoos MC can have is Alex's number - the number 10?!?! Yeah, ten is definitely important! I don't have any theories on why yet, but it will be in the back of my mind, just chilling, until something else pops up like a puzzle piece you found under the table days after you put the puzzle away.

Comparison: My 16mm print of Schoolhouse Rock - Interjections has quite a few differences from the home video versions that have been the norm for decades. The kid getting the shot sounds like Bob Dorough did the voice originally. Also the girl saying hey also sounds like Dorough. Sound fx also diff. Also, interesting is that they didn’t just use the first chorus and duplicated for the second chorus. There’s actually a different take used in the original version. You can hear the slight differences in their voices especially the last little girl that says hey. The first time through there’s barely any voice, and they didn’t even fix it. Kind of funny. Also, strange is that last moment is muted, which is strange since it’s the most memorable.
