Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.

The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.

It takes three legs to make a tri-pod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle
Called a tricycle.

Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don't have to guess.
When it's three you can see
It's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that's a magic number.

3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
Multiply backwards from three times ten:

Three time ten is (30), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one is three of course.

Now take the pattern once more:
Three! . . .3-6-9
Twelve! . . .12-15-18
Twenty-one!. . .21-24-27. . .30

Now multiply from 10 backwards:
Three time ten is (30 - Keep going), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one...
What is it?!
Three!
Yeah, That's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number.

Man, I gotta watch that hunk-a-cheese one again. Anything with a stupid catchy jingle.

Bought the DVD set yesterday and the kids wore it out today. Christ.

One thing I never noticed before is how much right wing morality are in those cartoons. "Three is the magic number" has this line: "A man and a woman had a little baby--there were three in the family, and that's the magic number"

WTF? So if Dad knocks the crap out of Mom and she leaves him, she's the bad guy for breaking up the "magic"?

And how's a second kid supposed to feel about that lyric? "Hey, Timmy, you're the non-magical family member."
 
Based on the previous thread, I would've thought that keeping the family at one child apiece would be part of the liberal side. :)
 
And lest you think Schoolhouse Rock was all fun and games, they made a thinly-veiled tribute to white people conquering and pillaging the entire continent of North America:

Man, that made me hanker for this oldie-but-baddie:

It was a pretty effective jingle. I still think of it today when a waitress shows up with my salad swimming in a mayonnaise-bland ranch dressing.

Clearly they are numerologists or communists on the one child policy. :devilwink:

I like the obvious symbol that when they are on the river, as they move along the land appears. But nothing was there until the great white men came.
 
I bought the Schoolhouse rock dvd set for my kids a few years ago. I am pretty sure I enjoyed them as much as they did.
