Lol I'm American & wanting to learn Polish, and I wish there was a schoolhouse rock for adults learning a new language 😆 If you have suggestions let me know LOL.
If you want to learn more about American culture, I think you’d be interested to learn that many of your famous countrymen were quite important to our country’s founding. Kazimierz Pułaski was one guy I know. Tadeusz Kościuszko came here because he believed in freedom and he fought in our Revolution because it was a cause he believed in, and many times he tried to advise and warn the revolutionaries, and most of his tactical predictions were correct. He stayed until the war ended and America was established. He returned home to Poland with the intention of doing something similar to what was done in America, with the constitution he wanted to establish being inspired by the US, but if I can remember it was even more forward thinking. It’s sad he didn’t get to see his goals through but if I’m not mistaken he’s a hero in Poland and in the US.
OMG!!! "Take your powder! Take your Gun! Report to General Washington! Hurry men, there's not an hour to lose!" Favorite line in this song!!! Thank you for bringing back such awesome memories from when I was kid. :)
The more deep and touching verse is the second one...."Take your blanket and take YOUR SON! Report to General Washington." Everyone fought for freedom.
I remember my 7th grade American History teacher showing us this song when we were in the American Revolution Unit; and she made us sing along every single time it was played. Props to her for making me find this song again!
My 7th grade daughter just text me from school excited that they played it in class today. She’s one of the only kids in her class who even knows what Schoolhouse Rock is. Good parenting thank you 😁
Having a test tomorrow in an advanced placement american history class, it's really amazing how usefull of a study tool this song is. Even if it was intended for young kids, its still pretty valuable to me at 15 in highschool. :D
At the end of the line “shot heard round the world”… right when the little blurb came up on the globe, my sister and I would yell “WHAT WAS THAT!!!” loud as we could. We felt like it fit perfectly into the song. When I hear/sing this now I immediately include that in the lyrics. Holy nostalgia
These schoolhouse rock shorts were from a bygone era where teachers taught their students Patriotism, love for our Country and traditional values. Now, on the other hand..... God Bless (and help) America!
Take yer powder, take yer gunz, report to General Washington, hurry men there's not an hour to lose... Saturday morning cartoons were the best in the early 1970's...
"God Bless America! Let Freedom Ring!" - they'd never put his on TV now. Too "jingoistic" and whatnot... I watched these as a kid in the 70s. Made me ferociously patriotic!
You mean like when everything is closed for the day? No. That just increases holiday traffic, and I can't ship anything through the USPS that day. This is trivial of me, isn't it? Ha ha.
Just showed this to my kids while standing on the actual "Norh Bridge".I saw this a thousand times on Saturday mornings in the 70's,and to be standing here with them is pretty amazing.
Who's here because of EmpLemon? Now one British guy said HO HO HO. And some malicious American said, I DON'T BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS! (shoots him) Yep I'm insane. HAHAHAHA! Now Santa Claus is dead. So sadistic.
Take your gun. Take it back. TAKE YO GUN! Shoot General Washington (ahhh!) Now that General Washington's dead the British won the War Of Independence. HOORAY! HAHAHAHA!
i remember watching this exact video in like 4th grade. i’m a junior now in ap us history and remembered this video when we were learning about the american revolution🥲
@@ispgravy4233 pay attention, there's lots of notes, at least for me. if you're the kind of person that doesn't retain anything when you're writing/typing notes, you'll need to come up with a way to retain the information
Had this song stuck in my head since I was in 1st grade in 2003 I’m 27 and thank my mother for putting me on this 👏🏻 idc what anyone says, SchoolHouse Rock will always have a special place in my heart and memories!
May Bob Dorough who sang this classic song RIP. Passed away 4/23/2018 at age 94. He also sang other memorable Schoolhouse Rock songs 2. This is my personal favorite.
So catchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I listened to this song so many times I lost count. I'd first watched it in forth grade. A LOT of my classmates loved it and begged our teacher to play it again.😯😯😯😯😯😯😯
Lol I keep singing this when I think about this Will Smith Chris Rock fiasco " And the slap heard around the woooorld.. was the start of the revolution!"
I was born in 1971 so I actually watched these School House Rock (SHR) cartoons as part of my saturday morning cartoons in the late 70s and early 80s. With the election coming I decided to check out my old favs. They are as awesome as I remembered them to be. I am glad to read that people younger (and probably cooler) than me also enjoy these SHR cartoons. God Bless America and Let Freedom Ring ! ! !
Now at famous Bunker Hill, Even though we lost, it was quite a thrill. The rebel Colonel Prescott proved he was wise. Outnumbered and low on ammunition As the British stormed his position, He said, "Hold your fire till you see the whites of their eyes."
this video helped me a lot to piece everything together for my APUSH test on the American revolution tomorrow. In fourth grade our teachers made us memorize this song and i was so glad i remembered it cause it all makes sense now.
ha, the right-wingers want to force one religion, one culture, one beleif system down us, and mask it as patriotism. The leftists, trying to save and improve our nation are true patriots!

I learn this in 1998.

“Report to General Washington” has always been my favorite part of this song.
I still think Napoleon would’ve kicked Washington’s ass!
I got lucky, I saw these series when they were new. I miss that era, we were and ARE proud Americans. This generation?
I still find myself wondering what life would be like today were the states still under British rule. Likely my British heritage talking.
This song has been living in my head rent free for 17 years, and it can stay as long as it wants. God bless America! 🇺🇸🫡
School house rock, teaching children history, math, and more for over 53 years. God bless you folks
Thank God for SHR. They came up with the best songs to teach us about language, history, government, everything!

Saturday morning cartoons were the best in the early 1970's...
I agree. I've never been that huge of a fan of the current National Anthem, as good as it is. In the words of Ramona Quimby, it's about a "dawnzer."
Nearly 250 years ago today. God bless America.
"God Bless America! Let Freedom Ring!" - they'd never put his on TV now. Too "jingoistic" and whatnot... I watched these as a kid in the 70s. Made me ferociously patriotic!

If this was still shown in schools, this nation would be headed down a bit of a better road.
Nah, the woke cancel culture idjits would have the SHR vids banned as being racist.

My favourite School rock song.
This song plays in my head anytime I see a hot take on Twitter now and know it's about to be a fight.
I like the part where colonist holds out his hand, and the musket comes to him, like Mjolnir @2:08
Now at famous Bunker Hill,
Even though we lost, it was quite a thrill.
The rebel Colonel Prescott proved he was wise.
Outnumbered and low on ammunition
As the British stormed his position,
He said, "Hold your fire till you see the whites of their eyes."
This is so nostalgic for me. I remember listening to this
