[katrus]

@CptGameWalkthroughs It was originally a show to teach kids about language, aired in the late 70's. This is a new series, though, restarted a few years ago.

[CptGameWalkthroughs]

@katrus ahh ok i don't think we have this in the UK

[alchemistftw]

[Vilatan]

This video makes me passionate about spelling reform. Silent E must be purged.

Someone has already been there: try Tom Lehrer "Silent e".

I wish there was something like that for french ;)

[yellowsubmarine1976]

Wow. I wish my english teacher would randomly take us out of class into the hallway and then to a random school basket ball game to sing about silent e! that teacher's amazing!

I donlt particularly like this "revival" of "The Electric Company", but this song I like. I like this better than the original. I'll give them THIS...

now if only the whole how could be this good.

[PuccaSim]

i like the new electric company, though. i'm just not into the little beatboxing spots

[kevin899]

Love the vocals

[TheChristianHijabi]

Love the song!

[TheChristianHijabi]

That gurl at the end shaking her behind in front of that grown man, she know she need ta stop. lol

[CKNrangers]

They're bringing in the old and new, with some awesome help! HAHA!

[DragonMaster3500]

i know this CANT be 4 little kids. is this guy a professional rapper/singer?

[Yatzliach]

YES!!!!!!

[YuugiMotuo]

this my favorite educational song

[A1l2l2e2n4]

I REALLY like that arrangement! Of course, there will always be a place in my heart for the "Silent E Song" I grew up with ---the one by Tom Lehrer--- but this fellow carries on the tradition admirably!

[brinirox]

This is my jam!!!

[TECfan1]

Yea!! xD

[SushiFestival]

SILENT E IS A NINJA~! PEOPLE SEEING THIS ON MY CHANNEL WATCH THIS! xD

[VMKLovr]

this song is like little kid-ish (well i guess its supposed to be) But its so damn catchy that i love it xD

[yunexus]

My kids love the energy and fun James' song brings. I do not sing, but his voice is something to admire.

[agreggofsociety]

Yeah, James was great with the kids -- he would make a great teacher indeed! And of course it's great seeing the charasmatic kids of The PS22 Chorus adding that extra spark!

[OtherBrother09]

What a voice! If I had teachers like that, I never would have wanted to go home. And I'm sure Tom Lehrer would love it. ;)

[A1l2l2e2n4]

And it's right in the spirit of the old "Electric Company"! Just that we weren't doing stuff like that back in the '70s!

[A1l2l2e2n4]

Like I said, OtherBrother09, we weren't doing stuff like that in the '70s! (But I sure like the way James Iglehart does it!)
