20's Pop Answer

Not written for anyone in particular, "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" became three hit records for three different artists in 1927. It was revived in the 40s and spent another 18 weeks on the charts. These days it's probably best remembered for being often used in Warner Bros. cartoons.

"Lost civilizations, extraterrestrials, myths and monsters, missing persons, magic and witchcraft, unexplained phenomena."

70's TV Tunes Answer

There were three In Search Of TV documentary movies, the first being In Search of Ancient Astronauts in 1973 (based on the book Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken). Their ratings were good enough to make a spinoff series. Rod Serling, who narrated the three films, had died so Leonard Nimoy became the host of the TV show which lasted six seasons. The show was revived in 2002 with Mitch Pileggi hosting, and again in 2018 with Zachary Quinto taking the reins. The 70's Nimoy version, however, is what most people think of when the topic comes up.

Children's Music Answer

Advertising executive David McCall noticed his young son was struggling with learning multiplication tables, despite being able to memorize the lyrics of every single Rolling Stones song. He hired musician Bob Dorough to write a song that would teach multiplication. This was the genesis of Schoolhouse Rock, a series of animated, musical short films that would try to teach kids various educational subjects.

The ABC network began airing them in the 70s during its Saturday morning cartoon schedule. Suddenly, as if by magic, kids were reciting the Preamble to the US Constitution from memory, telling their parents that interjections show excitement or emotion, and explaining why "3" is a magic number. The show had many catchy tunes, but the one that topped most people's list was "Conjunction Junction".

After appearing in Bonnie and Clyde, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is now typically used by Hollywood for scenes depicting chases in a rural setting. The song would win a Grammy in 2001 for a performance featuring Scruggs with comedian Steve Martin on second banjo.

Schoolhouse Rock Questions:

1. A number of teachers reported that, when the question, "What is the Preamble to the Constitution?" appears on tests, a number of students could be heard singing the song. They all got the question wrong - because what words are missing?
What four words are missing from the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States in that song?

Answer

The song begins, "We the People, in order to form a more perfect union," but actually, it's, "We, the People of the United States"

I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
Counting the time, then you came to my room
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine
