[brainstar64]

I really get the warm & fuzzies and a rush of childhood memories from this. God bless whoever posted this. Oh how I wish this was on the DVD set of Schoolhouse rock.

[Cathalain]

Wow, I remember this. I remember being a little freaked out when the cartoon body separated as the GF logo came up, for some reason.

Nice find! Thanks.

[Cathalain]

Wow, I remember this.... when major companies were still sponsoring shows. Rare find! Thanks.

@MrRegg69 - Right? I was 4 as well , yet I don't remember this opening or the Nabisco one! I'm all "It's Schoolhouse Rocky, a chip off the block..."

This clip looks so... old! Anything from the early 70s creeps me out a bit, though. I feel steadier around 1976!

[MysticArksRevenge]

@murielsartre Probably because of all of the film scratches, considering that most of the commercials and promos in the 1970's used 16 or 8mm film rather than 35mm used in movies nowadays.

[micmac99]

Can someone post the America Rock sponsor open?

[MrRegg69]

I was 4 years old when this came on.Holy crap time passing by real fast.

[acholl980]

There were four original openings. two for Multiplication Rock ('73,sponser by General Foods and Nabisco)and one for Grammer Rock ('75)and America Rock ('76 Both by Nabisco only). Science Rock (78)didn't have an opening because by '77 the bundle the segments to make Schoolhouse Rock into one.

[goodtimeslover]

do they have an opening like this for the other school house rock songs?

[disneyfan85]

They skipped that angel from "The Good Eleven".

[macdisciple]

@disneyfan85 ... If I remember correctly, the producers had a little trouble getting Good Eleven to the point where they liked it, and it was another year or so until it was released.

The Nabisco variation of this open ("You'll find quality in our corner") can be found on:

[madog20]

[madog20]

[crocetti1984]

I drove my friend nuts with this, because I kept playing it! LOL.

[ReggieM61]

This little ditty right here was one of the best parts of watching cartoons every Saturday morning back in the day.

Thanks for posting!!

[SDChargersForever]

My favorite general was Buck Turgidson.

[love2register2]

women sense his power

[wheezer34]

I totally forgot about this little morsel from Schoolhouse Rock. Thanks for posting

[AlbieGray]

An absolute classic, and I am so glad it's posted here!

[BigCappuccino]

I always loved Bob Dorough's voice. He reminds a little of Donald Fagen.

[disneyfan85]

You don't suppose this little treat was released on the SHR 30th anniversary DVD, do you?

[MarcDP2007]

I have the DVD but this clip is not on it.

[BigCappuccino]

No, unfortunately this isn't on the DVD. I have it. But however if multiplication had its own intro, so did the others. If anybody finds them please post them!!!

[disneyfan85]

Do you have the original School House Rock intro, with the four kids, one of whom becomes School House Rocky?

[larrytheviking]

Is general foods now General Mills?

[smittykins]

No--it was bought by Kraft.

[UglySean]

So simple but it rocks. Thanks! Haven't seen the sponsor blurb in.... how many years?

[culpit]

Did that Four Legged Zoo just eat the poor magician?

[UglySean]

IIRC the other sponsor was Nabisco, if you have that one too.

This is so short but so cool.

[wmbrown6]

I remember that one - with the slogan "You'll find quality in our corner."

[jdizzle61]

I absolutely LOVE this little ol' 13-second clip. It truly takes me back to a time when, among other things, Saturday mornings were special...just for us kids. Hell, even General Foods is gone now.

[geor67]

groovy!

[shawshawshaw]

Where did you find this??? Do you have any more SHR rarities???

[love2register2]

I posted the original end credits for Multiplication Rock, that's the only other rarity I have - unless you want me to bust out the 80's Cloris Leachman filler :)

[shawshawshaw]

NOOOOOOOOO Cloris leachman!!! noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[bcs65]

Thanks for posting this! Since it's been 35 years since anyone's seen it!

[Lectronimo]

Wow - must have been from before I was watching! Bless that ol' hippy Bob!
