"Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity....you'll get three." A magic number. For a song aimed at elementary school kids, it has quite the psychedelic edge to it. But then, so did Sesame Street. It sure was fun to be a kid in the 70s. Schoolhouse Rock had a song for all the single digit integers except 1, and this is my favorite. Four and five were good ones too. Groovy and memorable educational tunes. Plus, the animation was fun. I love when the football player wearing number 30 smashes through the too-small opening. Too bad the poor professor guy gets crushed. I also hated that the Giants were leading my Bears 18-0. Blind Melon did a nice version for the Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks album in 1996.
