Heh...My US History teacher made us watch "The Presidents" which was a song they did on Animaniacs (which first aired in 1995, wow I feel old) daily for a whole semester. When we took the EOG you could hear everyone humming it to themselves....worst part is that I still remember all the lyrics.
We watched the School House Rock you mentioned, in 10th grade in our social studies class at least once a week, and yes I remember that one too.
It's amazing how some can learn easier when music is entered in to the equation.
My question is: Do "normal" people have the same experiences with music, or do people with a mental illness (mainly Bipolar) process music differently than others?
I've been in inventory h*ll all day, so this post probably makes no sense.
