Schoolhouse Rock! Conjunction Junction (1973–2009) Online

With lyrics by Bob Dorough, Jack Sheldon (who I just discovered was born in Jacksonville, Fla., which is where I once lived for 10 years) providing lead vocal and Terry Morrell backing vocal, "Conjunction Junction" is another great "Schoolhouse Rock!" short animated musical that entertains while educating about the importance of "hooking up words and phrases and clauses" with and, but, or. The leading character is a train conductor who has those words printed on the side of the train cars. There's also a couple of hoboes who illustrate some of the verses. Done in a Big Band style, "Conjunction Junction" is one of the catchiest ditties I've ever heard in my childhood. And I love the ending line "I'm going to get you there if you're very careful..." Another gem I rediscovered on YouTube. Thanks, guys!
