I go with "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here on capital hill. Now I'm stuck in committee...."
But "Conjuction junction" was a close second for me too.
It is amazing how I can remeber them so well.

"Schoolhouse Rock". The home of that Louis Armstrong soundalike and that Bob Dylan soundalike. What can I say?
Anyway, I think "Interplanet Janet" was the neatest song of them. I probably oughta be kicking my behind for even thinking that, but...

Ok. My favorite ditty, as opposed to category of ditties, is the one that goes...
"...And I unpacked my adjectives." :D

LOVED IT! A local theater company did some excerpts from SHR and I took the kids. I had a blast! The kids were amazed that I knew the words to the songs.
I'm just a bill, and Interplanet Janet were my faves.
I went out and bought the DVD set "for the kids". :)

My favorite was Conjunction Junction. Plus I always thought whoever sang that song had a cool voice. Does anyone know the singer's name? I bet he can sing some great blues and jazz.

I found a website w/all the lyrics + who wrote and sang the songs. Conjunction Junction and I'm Just a Bill were both sung by someone named Jack Sheldon:

I have the entire collection on DVD and I like them all, but I have three favorites:
No More Kings: "Anything you say king, it's okay king, You know it's kind of scary on your own. Gonna build a new land the way we planned Could you help us run it till it's grown?"
Interjections: Though Geraldine played hard to get, (uh huh)
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet. He showed his affection, Despite her objections, And Geraldine hollered some interjections
Zero, My Hero: My hero, zero. Such a funny little hero...

Mine would definately have to be "I'm just a Bill". I used to work with a guy named Bill who had never heard this one. Of course we called him just a Bill. ;)
