I just took the AP world history test and wrote an essay comparing the American and French revolutions. I started singing this song in my head and it's what saved my essay from being complete trash
Also, the French Revolution had started in 1789, just 13 years AFTER our country had DECLARED its INDEPENDENCE (also, the French Revolution started as we had our 1st President, George Washington)
OMG, I haven't seen this one since I was a little kid. It's kind of brilliant. I can't imagine having to explain a complicated piece of history with a short, catchy, lyrically easy to understand song. These shorts are little gems.
I dare say this is one of the LEAST complicated pieces of U.S. history they've ever covered. And yeah, in such a concise time frame, they did it well :)
Taught them lies, how great 😂 🤦♂️ No they're not facts, loser under me, they butchered the indigenous people and stole their land, *that* is a fact. But im sure you know and love that fact, you always find the most bloodthirsty degens under these kind of videos 🤣

"We're gonna show you how we feel; we're gonna dump this tea... and turn this harbor into the biggest cup of tea in history." My favorite lyrics from there
This lyric is a reference to the Boston Tea Party of November 1773, which was a rebuke of the Tea Act that levied taxes on British tea entering the colonies. The people of Boston dressed themselves as Mohawks during the Boston Tea Party to distract British merchants from unloading more boxes of British tea into Boston Harbor, and after the tea party, a furious King George III in 1774 had Parliament pass the Intolerable Acts whereby: (1) Boston harbor was shut down until the Bostoners paid reparations for dumping the tea into the Harbor; (2) the colonial governor of Massachusetts would order trials of accused royal officials to take place in Great Britain if he decided that the defendant could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts; (3) the British crown had the sole discretion of appointing officials within the Massachusetts colonial gov't, not the colonial governor; and (4) ordering British troops to be quartered in colonial homes.
and now look at us.... children of the 70s and 80s when you first saw this did you ever think your world would be like it is today? cherish every Saturday morning you spent watching these masterpieces without a care in the world. your children will never know how great it was
Late 90s- early 00s kid, my mom had the vhs tapes for me of schoolhouse because she watched them as a 70s kid. And by God my kids will have these videos too
I was 5 years old, as I am listening to the playlist I am having flashbacks of watching this with a bowl of cereal and just enjoying it. probably driving my parents crazy singing all of these around the house but a good way to learn that is for sure
LOL at King George III sitting in his throne at the edge of the sea keeping an eye on the colonists!! I loved this clip as a child... so much so I did drawings based on it! 1976 was our Bicentennial so Schoolhouse Rock was celebrating with clips like this one! Thanks for posting!
@ Thomas GMB - Look up the definition of American citizens and legal immigrants, that is the definition of "the people". Your comment tells me you are NOT in that group.
A president's just a single executive officer. We should be electing a Congress that does what we want. But that's why no president has been decent in over 40 years, because we keep electing idiots and half the time nobody cares who is elected to Congress, even though their racket (career politicians) is what is grooming such poor presidential candidates to be what they are.
@@aubreyholman1951 you cant be that dense. King James was a black man from the Tribe of Judah. It was he who sent a land clearing party of "blacks" who were escaping english persecution. "so called" white people raped, robbed, murdered & stole this land from "so called" native americans slaughtering over 100mill of them until this day. Their 7trillion dollar economy was built up on the backs of "so called" african americans; killing over 150million of them until this day.

@@aubreyholman1951 just a few small general things, I like history but I don't know every historical inconsistencies off the top of my head, but I think there's probably a video or 2 pointing out some inaccurate parts of schoolhouse songs, I think "The shot heard around the world" comes to mind, one part sings about Paul Revere, despite some context not really being mentioned in regards to Revere
Thank you for sharing - this is a fun way to remember our county’s history. Takes me back to when good music was incorporated within cartoons and children’s tv shows. Schoolhouse Rock was certainly one of the best for me.
I still remember these songs from 40 years ago! they're awesome for INTRODUCING concepts. Don't think it leaves out the responsibility for parents and teachers.
The king has magic powers, being able to eat a whole chicken in one second, and summons rocks to him for footrests. The reason he didnt destroy the american community with his otherworldly being is beyond me.
I loved these School House Rock cartoons as a kid. Sure they were simplistic - what would you expect from a 3min cartoon/song for 8 year olds? The simple catchy tunes stayed in my head. Even today, when I recite the preamble of the constitution, more often than not, I hear it in my head with the School House Rock music. It's sad that we can't enjoy the simple pleasure of reminiscing about a shared American childhood experience, without lowering ourselves into partisan fighting.
I'm 28 and still love these songs and love listening to them because they take me back to when I was a kid and listened to them everyday. They are so creative and accurate.
My fifth grade teacher made us watch this video multiple times per day until we memorized it. At the time, I hated it. But now it's the only thing I remember from elementary school and it occasionally gets stuck in my head six years later. Ah the memories
Colonial Americans didn't revolt because they're taxes were too high-the taxes in the American colonies were actually among the lowest in the entire British Empire. What DID drive them into revolution was that these taxes were being imposed unilaterally without them having any say, and that they're attempts to protest by seeking representation in the British government had been denied-and, further, their attempts to protest peacefully by boycotting British goods had been stifled forcefully by blockading they're harbors and seizing they're ships. It came down to them saying "We're being treated like a separate nation, so we may as well be one!" not "Our taxes are too high!"
Oh no he is onto our plan to brainwash the children of America that we our a perfect nation and the best one on Earth. Quick secret police take him out!
TheAres1999 Here's another good one for ya: one day one of Jesus' acolytes asked him whether or not they still had to pay taxes since, after all, they were choosing to follow God and not the government of Rome. Jesus replied "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's." In other words, "Just pay your stinking taxes like everyone else." Not too long afterward he was crucified.
I say that the problem was that England forgot what kind of colonists they were. They were treated like conquered colonists rather than English citizens who settled else where.
cgaskill13 That's my point. It wasn't "Our taxes are too high so we want out of the Empire," it was "We're being treated like a separate country-so we are going to be one." Had the British government of the time allowed the colonies to elect representatives to to Royal Court, odds are we would be in a position similar to Canada today-nominally independent but still acknowledging the monarch as our head of state.

Brings back memories of singing these with my sister between commercials. I felt I learned a little about history and what I didn't at least I had a place to start and go from there. The best is when you sing them with your children :-)
Loyalty is everything!!! It feels kind of relaxing with no more kings. Right now we do have a queen in England that is really kind. Schoolhouse rock is one of my favorite cartoons. In addition to this all of us should be proud of a free country even I am proud to be a free american. I like this video. Funny, happy, educational, helpful.: Q
i had a schoolhouse rock "best-of" cd i used to fall asleep to as a kid, from the time i was like 5 or 6 until i was probably 10. i always liked to envision my own little stories happening, as i never saw the animations until years after the fact. this was one of my favorites.
As a kid I remember these short videos being on.. If I remember right it was usually on weekend mornings between cartoons.. This is one of the better ones.. Tells you a lot of our history in 3 minutes. And in high school, taking the constitution test I was singing the Preamble tune in my head to help me remember all the words :=)
+talkieful1 … We had to recite The Preamble in around 5th grade. I was bummed out because I hated memorization. We were told we had 2 weeks to learn it. Well the day it was assigned many went ahead & asked if they could recite it that very day. I thought "What the heck ?" Then I read it & realized I also already knew it & recited it that day too.

LYRICS FOR "NO MORE KINGS" Rockin' and a-rollin' , splishin' and a- splashin' , Over the horizon, what can it be? The pilgrims sailed the sea to find a place to call their own. In their ship MayFlower, They hoped to find a better home. They finally knocked On Plymouth Rock and someone said "We're There!" It may not look like home but at this point i dont care! Oh they were missing Mother England, They swore their loyalty until the very end. Anything you say, King, its OK, King , You know its kinda scary on your own. Gonna build a new land The way we planned Could you help us run till its grown? They planted corn, you know They built their houses one by one, And bit by bit they worked Until the colonies were done. They looked around, Yeah, up and down And someone said "Hurray!" If the king could only see us now He would be proud of us today. CONTINUED...
they knew they'd run their own land, But George the Third still vowed He'd rule them till the end. Anything i say, do it my way now Anything i say, do it my way. Dont get to feeling independent 'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey! He taxed their property, He didn't give them any choice And back in England He didn't give them any voice. (thats called taxation without representation, and its not fair!) But when the colonies complained The king said: "I don't Care!" He even has the nerve To tax our cup of tea To put it kindly, King, We really don't agree Gonna show you how we feel. We're gonna dump this tea And turn this harbor into The biggest cup of tea in history! They wanted mo more Mother England. They knew the time would come For them to take command. Its very clear you're being unfair, king, No matter what you say, we wont obey. Gonna hold a revolution now, king, And we're gonna run it all our way With no more Kings...
I feel like Schoolhouse Rock actually put a lot of work in making their songs sound great. They sound like real musicians made these songs to put on a record or something. Nowadays (god, I feel old typing this) children’s songs sound like there is less effort put into making them.
Actually, roughly 9/10 of the US presidents were loved. It wasn't till the media started villainizing them that they started to be hated. Still, people hated Abraham Lincoln, so it just goes to show, just because people hate a president, doesn't mean he's not AWESOME!... Please read into this however you please. ;)
Funny. Now with multiple classes under my belt and a Bachelor's Degree. England was semi-justified in taxing the colonies. Still a fun ditty from my youth.
As a cartoon he actually threw a bucket 🪣 to England it would actually be 3,269 miles away. But I learned a lot from School House Rock than school itself in the 1970s.
+Shanelle Nellie every one in school should watch this whole collection.... all my kids and myself grew up on these and I must say it helped us allot... lol

True. There are always jackasses getting on here with their bs info. Just enjoy the trip down memory lane without ruining it with ur so called "facts".
My thoughts exactly I think people forget these are simplified down for kids. I'm in high school APUSH and these videos still help me remember facts about the tevolution
Wow! I remember watching this in 6th grade with my favorite teacher. Now I'm moving to high school and I'm gonna miss all my teachers in middle school.
As soon as each of my brothers and sisters along with myself were old enough to understand these video's my mother would us watch them before going to school in the morning. I remember singing them in kindergarten and the first grade.
They portray Britain as being terrible but we probably would have just ended up like Canada. A peaceful country with free health care and an obsession with hockey.

In their ship MayFlower,
They hoped to find a better home.
They finally knocked
On Plymouth Rock
and someone said "We're There!"
It may not look like home
but at this point i dont care!
Oh they were missing Mother England, They swore their loyalty until the very end.
Anything you say, King,
its OK, King ,
You know its kinda scary on your own. Gonna build a new land
The way we planned
Could you help us run till its grown?
They planted corn, you know
They built their houses one by one,
And bit by bit they worked
Until the colonies were done.
They looked around,
Yeah, up and down
And someone said "Hurray!"
If the king could only see us now
He would be proud of us today.
CONTINUED...
they knew they'd run their own land,
But George the Third still vowed
He'd rule them till the end.
Anything i say, do it my way now
Anything i say, do it my way.
Dont get to feeling independent
'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey!
He taxed their property,
He didn't give them any choice
And back in England
He didn't give them any voice.
(thats called taxation without representation, and its not fair!)
But when the colonies complained
The king said: "I don't Care!"
He even has the nerve
To tax our cup of tea
To put it kindly, King,
We really don't agree
Gonna show you how we feel.
We're gonna dump this tea
And turn this harbor into
The biggest cup of tea in history!
They wanted mo more Mother England.
They knew the time would come
For them to take command.
Its very clear you're being unfair, king,
No matter what you say, we wont obey.
Gonna hold a revolution now, king,
And we're gonna run it all our way
With no more Kings...
Sharon Escriu thanks
Wow thanks, but what a waste of your life that you would never recieve again!
sharon escriu thanks I was looking someone to comment this😂❤️
@@sharonescriu5682 Believe it or not, George Washington could have become king had he wanted to, which.....he didn't.
I feel like Schoolhouse Rock actually put a lot of work in making their songs sound great. They sound like real musicians made these songs to put on a record or something. Nowadays (god, I feel old typing this) children’s songs sound like there is less effort put into making them.
"We're gonna elect a President, who's going to do what we want!" That lasted 10 minutes.
More like 10 seconds
they did try to elect George Washington their king.
Actually, roughly 9/10 of the US presidents were loved.
It wasn't till the media started villainizing them that they started to be hated.
Still, people hated Abraham Lincoln, so it just goes to show, just because people hate a president, doesn't mean he's not AWESOME!... Please read into this however you please. ;)
Kick Saunders I think he’s talking about trump
Robert Hudson Can you at least spell correctly?
The orignal Revolution Musical
Nick The Epic ikr
I came here just to look for the Hamilton reference.
Krambles same
Before there was "Les Miserables"!
Funny. Now with multiple classes under my belt and a Bachelor's Degree. England was semi-justified in taxing the colonies. Still a fun ditty from my youth.
I loved the schoolhouse rock segments.They were so much fun.
I remember this we watched this in 7th grade 2012 ❤
this song slaps
😂😂
we go from the boston tea party, to electing a "king" that is promising american a 60% tax aka tarraf on 90+% on most consumer goods very sad.
As a cartoon he actually threw a bucket 🪣 to England it would actually be 3,269 miles away. But I learned a lot from School House Rock than school itself in the 1970s.
I love the colonist giving the King the raspberry....
Most accurate drawing of the Mayflower I have ever seen
Yep. These "Schoolhouse Rock!" vids teach you MUCH more than the history books! 😂🤣
You mean the gender studies books?
This video’s history is actually pretty bad lol
Why is that?@@Alex-bf3re
2:07 So that's why we drink coffee
These were great back in the day. A fun way to learn.
I grew up on schoolhouse work because my Deddy used to play all of them from a DVD and we all enjoyed it!
I watched this in school today
+Shanelle Nellie every one in school should watch this whole collection.... all my kids and myself grew up on these and I must say it helped us allot... lol
I watched it in 1975 when I was 5
me too,. in 1976 when I was 5
I watched this 1 week ago its pretty catchy tbh
me too
I LOVE THIS SONG!
I always laughed at the guy who gave the king the raspberry.
same, and the king looked like a girl
Hits different when out of school 😍
ABC on Saturday morning thru the 70s. This was way ahead of its time...
Wow. After reading all these comments on what I *thought* was a pleasant educational short I'm afraid to watch "Three is a Magic Number." There's probably a big numerology troll-war going on over there.
True. There are always jackasses getting on here with their bs info. Just enjoy the trip down memory lane without ruining it with ur so called "facts".
John Adam Bet theres a race war on "I got 6"
My thoughts exactly I think people forget these are simplified down for kids. I'm in high school APUSH and these videos still help me remember facts about the tevolution
Ally Owens "And someone said, hooray!" will def be on the test
+John Adam
LOL ... XD
I love it how people expect a sixteen week college course with a three minute cartoon for six year olds.
I was just thinking that while traversing the comment section. Dude it’s literally made for kids….
Better than the crap they teach now.
@2:42 God bless America, kicking Limey ass since 1776!
;-)
Wow! I remember watching this in 6th grade with my favorite teacher. Now I'm moving to high school and I'm gonna miss all my teachers in middle school.
I remember being in 3rd-4th grade and I couldn’t wait until snack time to watch these.
Same
I listen to this in class and I came home got on my phone and listened to it some more
Happy Independence Day 2018🇺🇸🎂♥️
I got this song stuck in my head LOL :DDDD
Don't LISTEN to "I'm Just a Bill", then!
Coming back to listen to this on the day of my high school graduation
The Tea Party is still running strong, since the colonial days of America.
@@jeffray6321 lmao
@@jeffray6321 oops
I watched this at school a few weeks ago at school when I was learning about the Boston tea party and Paul Revere
I took 5 years learning this in school and I just learned it in 3 minutes
Except this is inaccurate
Exactly
@@alienxotic5028it’s also made for 6 year olds to grasp an extremely complex concept.
As soon as each of my brothers and sisters along with myself were old enough to understand these video's my mother would us watch them before going to school in the morning. I remember singing them in kindergarten and the first grade.
I watch this mostly everyday in social studies in class. We are learning the American Revolution.
My 5th grade teacher showed me this and God I'm addicted
This is my jam
A completely unbiased view of American history
They portray Britain as being terrible but we probably would have just ended up like Canada. A peaceful country with free health care and an obsession with hockey.
@@2.7bviews3 nothing in life is free. If someone tells you something's free, they're selling you something.
@@2.7bviews3
Because the British empire needed anymore territory.
@@2.7bviews3 And we probably would have ended slavery earlier and committed less genocides
With love and precious blessings to you and your family From Rick and Wendy in the Country of India.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a catchy tune! Very creative, nice!
00:39 "Any you say king it's,it's okay king you know it's kind of scary on your own"
"Going to build a new land the we plan can you help us run it ti'll it's grown?"
King:Sure whatever.
