Just three more days until School House Rock Live hits the stage at the Renaissance Theatre!
The cartoons first appeared in 1973, dreamed up by David McCall, who worked for an advertising agency. He noticed one of his sons could remember song lyrics but struggled with math, so he decided to try combining basic math education with music.

To jog your memory further (and get you ready for the stage show), here's another clip from the original cartoons - a favorite called "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here."
