That get most of my job done." This is probably the most recognized "Schoolhouse Rock" song.

Answer: digging

"He's poor but honest, sad but true. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Jazz singer Terry Morel was visiting the studio in L.A. the day "Conjunction Junction" was being recorded, so Bob Dorough asked her to sing the chorus for the demo tape, and it ended up being on the actual recording.

Answer: choice

"Or no choice: 'Neither now nor ever' Hey that's clever!" Mary Sue Berry provided the harmony. Tome Yohe collaborated with Bill Peckmann on this classic. Yohe provided the storyboard and character sketches of the conductor, while Peckmann designed the hobos lunching at the trackside and the thoughtful duck and drake.

7. Choose the correct answer that fills in the blank: "Eat this or that, grow _____, Never mind..."

Answer: thin or fat

"I wouldn't do that, I'm fat enough now!" The original concept of the railroad yard where words and phrases are hooked together came from George Newall. (But after hearing Bob Dorough's song, Newall was relieved that he hadn't tried to write it!)

Answer: frying pan and into the fire

"Let's go up to the mountains, or down to the sea. You should always say 'thank you', or at least say 'please'." "I'm Just a Bill" and "Conjunction Junction" were recorded in L.A. on the same day, so
many wonder if there's a connection between these two best-known SR songs. Perhaps it was the fact that they shared the same band.

Answer: through the gardens and down by the lake

"And I wonder as I walk by just what they'd say if they could speak. Although I know that's an absurd thought." The Band was made up of the following members: Bass-Leroy Vinegar, Drummer-Nick Ceroll, Guitar-Stuart Scharf, Piano & Keyboards-Dave Frishberg, and Saxophone-Teddy Edwards.
Trumpet: Jack Sheldon

Answer: if you're very careful

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function? I'm going to get you there if you're very careful. Conjunction Junction, what's your function? I'm going to get you there if you're very careful." The song was sung by Jack Sheldon, designed by Tom Yohe and Bill Peckmann and the animation was done by Phil Kimmelman and Associates. Hope you enjoyed taking the quiz as much as I did in making it!
