FIGURE EIGHT

[astridkitty1212]

The end "infinity" thing scares me.

[Maryonpark]

This is such a melancholy song, a real wintery, gloomy, beautiful song.

[VaderVixen91]

i remember my parents giving me all of the school house rocks to watch.i think i was the only 4 year old who knew the preamble to the constitution by heart.lol

[teimusheen]

infinityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyy

[nra23]

a band i was in a long time ago cover this song (along with my hero zero & lucky seven sampson) at a multi-band performance of schoolhouse rock songs in houston in the 90s.

[attickdemos]

Schoolhouse rock is rather depressing anyway.. I don't know why. It sort of scares me. But it's very creative and educational.. so yay?

[xoxospoiledgirl]

<3

[CloudyDaze420]

oh shit. Tonedeff - Loyal Remix.

[commonman80]

Here's something really cool YouTubers, The number 9 multilpied by ANY NUMBER, the answer, when added up will equal 9

Example: 9x9=81 (8+1=9) Example: 9 x 27.6=248.40 (2+4+8+4+0=18) 1+8=9

Cool Right.

[mrzhellokitty12345]

@commonman80 cool ^-^

[mongovi]

@commonman80 cool, you just made my mind explode. :)

[Sailor537]

I like it until the kid falls in the water

[pnksbl]

I KNEW I HAD SEEN THIS SOMEWHERE

[Jmriccitelli]

I always loved this one. It was so beautiful! I remember those days when cartoons took precedent on saturday mornings! Beautiful voice, so haunting. My sister and I loved this song! Nothing compares to schoolhouse rock songs, nothing even comes close. I feel so blessed to have grown up in that time, such a wonderful time to be a kid. I love the 70's and 80's!

[raposofan]

I always thought this was the saddest -sounding Schoolhouse Rock song

[erkider]

I had no idea she passed. Now I am depressed. Her voice in this song still gets me in the heart. I am very sad. She was - is - amazing. JE

[DanRobSo]

RIP Blossom Dearie, passed February 7 at the age of 82.

[masapell]

Greatness!!!!

[cutterfilm]

thanks, blossom! rest easy.

[lesscunning]

some deep shit.

[mikepenny01]

I apologize; actually, according to Schoolhouse Rock's "Interjections!" bit, I should have written: Good lord! I love this.

[mikepenny01]

Good lord, I love this.

[Jennennett]

it is not

[hello7kitty7jana]

The beginning is depressing.

lol :]

[raposofan]

Kind of sums up a generation :(

[pianomist]

Blossom Dearie is fantastic!

[nikacris06]

the strings in this, sound very kingdom hearts esc.

[Enuop]

yes it does, it sounds like it'll be in beasts or disney castle

[Morghman]

kinda reminds me of Beasts Castle or Atlantica

[yourmom922]

good until 1 18

[mediamamachick]

i just want to concur with translyvania50, I was a child of the 70s. I can't tell you how awesome School House rock shaped the minds of young children. In their videos like Figure 8 my all time favorite next to my other favorite "Verb ..That's Whats Happenin", you got educated entertained and enlightened all at the same time. I learn to appreciate animation, jazz & classical music and education all at the same time.

[JusticeLivesNot]

I used to get creeped by the last line when I was in kindergarten. (in-FIN-i-TEEEEEEEEEE!!!)

[jennnxNJ]

Wait, so did Elliott Smith sell this to SchoolHouse Rock or whatever? Or did he take it from HERE for HIS album?

[esselfortium]

This is from the 1970s. It was written by Bob Dorough. Elliott Smith's version is a cover.

[dgarvasi]

when it transitions to the multiplication table part, the melody gets very beatle-esque

[transylvania50]

I'd love to see this song redone just as a piano piece with the damper pedal throughout the song. That would be great. It reminds me of romantic music from the 1800's and jazz from the time period, a strange but fitting mix!

[poopsywoopsi]

its not scaey its just a beautiful melody

[AdrianG4]

I pump this jam when I work out.

[birdienest81]

I used to find this song creepy because of its melancholic melody. Now, I dig this song.

[alltimejackhumper]

OH!!! That's where Elliott Smith found the song !!! =O XD this version is creepy i agree with u all =P

[HarrythePotter16]

i don't know why people think this and little twelve toes are scary lol. i think they're beautiful haunting melodies. i'll always remember how to make... a figure eight... without skates

[FirstClassHeel]

Well, Little Twelvetoes had a bizarre alien character and tried to teach kids base-12 math; as for Figure Eight, it just had a chillingly sad musical piece.

[HarrythePotter16]

ha well maybe i'm just emo

[TrekiJ]

lol so true

[seewet]

sercAN NASIL

[JeffOpon]

This song is scary.

[mrsweentessp]

Ilove how at 00:16 that kid in the striped shirt is just staring at us

[poopsywoopsi]

lol

[mrsweentessp]

Interjections amd pronouns are the best, but this is nice too

[AridWindstrike]

My school is doing schoolhouse rock live tomorrow... and the day after...

...except it's going to stink because half of the cast doesn't want to be there

(it's a freshman play... figures)

This song sounds creepy...

[MarioGirl03]

*sigh* I did Schoolhouse Rock live. Well yesterday was our final performance. Now that I hear any of the songs it makes me so sad inside because I miss it. I love figure 8.

[MiYAViLUV3R]

i love how this song strangely draws everyone in. even if the lyrics were different, everyone would still listen to it. i love it!

[tomokh]

This one, Conjunction, Just a Bill, and Adverbs are my favorite SHR songs. ^_^ Yay for figure 8!

[Tru510Bay]

this is my favorite one

[inuyashareallyreal]

i had to sing this in courus!!!!

[pretTilittlepoison]

its kind of creepy, like an errie undetone to it. I love it soooooooooo! idk why but I do!!!!! lol.. (im seriously going crazy over this song!!!!)

[ajnosder]

or to learn not to skate on thin ice d-!_!-b

[ChuKiChan]

It sounds sort of gloomy. The tune...

'If you skate, on thin ice.

You'd be wise, if you though twice.

Before you made another singal move.'

*kids falls in*

0_0

But it is sort of cool in a way. Like, for people who need to learn math facts.

[behrendsen]

LOL... the boy does jump out after that, so he didn't drown. :)

[rogue196932]

I absolutely love Blossom Dearie's voice. So ethereal and brilliant.

[ajnosder]

what is that song in the background at the beginning?

[Yeppr]

This song makes me cry. It's so beautiful

[telepopmusik93]

this brings back child memories

[pvtchef66]

Blossom Dearie is the BEST SINGER for Schoolhouse Rock!

[alexrocks101]
