Manage episode 338075404 series 2877768
Welcome back to the 80s! If you grew up in the 70s and 80s, you remember the School House Rock educational shorts that aired during ABC’s Saturday morning cartoons. Here’s some lyrics to the Multiplication Rock episode “Elementary, My Dear” that reveals the theme of Episode 17:
Two times one is two, of course
And it must occur to you
You get an even number
Every time you multiply by two
