To this day I cannot recite the preamble to the US constitution without singing it. I remember being in school wishing they had done the Gettysburg address too, since I had to memorize both in the same grading period in school. Too bad that not all of the songs they added for the DVD were up to the same quality. I still wish I had the parody from the Simpsons about how a constitutional amendment is passed. -- mike
