WASHINGTON — Elevator music is out at the Department of Education. “Schoolhouse Rock!” is in.
Callers to the department who are put on hold will now hear “Conjunction Junction,” a little ditty on, you guessed it, conjunctions, one of the songs that make up the “Grammar Rock” section of “Schoolhouse Rock!,” a series of animated musical educational films that aired Saturday mornings on ABC for 26 years starting in 1973. Subjects include grammar, science, economics, history, math and civics. Disney, which owns ABC and the rights to “Schoolhouse Rock!,” agreed to allow the department to use “Conjunction Junction” for free for a year, ABC reported.
“We’re doing everything we can to enhance the culture of the Department of Education,” Deputy Chief of Staff Matthew Yale told ABC News.
