School House Rock! Rocks (1996)
Allmusic Review
--- Quote ---Sing the phrase "I'm just a Bill, yes I'm only a Bill" to any American between the ages of 25 and 40 and they'll answer "and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill" without thinking twice. "I'm Just a Bill" was only one of dozens of School House Rock! animated videos that ran on ABC Saturday morning TV throughout the '70s ...
Beyond the undeniably delicious nostalgia trip, the compilation shows the surprising songcraft of the original tunes. The fabulous "Interplanet Janet" performed by Man or Astroman? could easily be mistaken for a proto-punk space saga. Matching the songs with alt-pop darlings like Better Than Ezra, Ween, Buffalo Tom, and the Lemonheads is a logical progression, continuing the tradition of melody-centered pop carried by earnestly pretty singing.
There are also some great surprises. Biz Markie turns in a stride piano version of "Energy Blues," which sounds remarkably like the original. Moby udpates "Verb:That's What's Happening" with an Ant music beat and crackly vocal effects. Blind Melon is perfect for the '70s feel-good vibe of "Three Is a Magic Number." It's proof of the power of nostalgia when a song about multiplication, with its rolling jam-band rhythms and naive imagery of a nuclear family "a man and woman had a little baby/and that's a magic number," along with Shannon Hoon's wispy vocals, has unexpected resonance of lost childhood.

I don't know "I'm A Bill" but I do know "I'm An Amendment To Be". 100x better.
