Album Notes Producers include: Bob Dorough, Mike Napolitano, Shannon Hoon, Glen Graham, Christopher Thorn. Engineers include: Wally Gagel, David Michael Dill, Ed Thacker. SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK! ROCKS finds Pavement, Better Than Ezra, Deluxx Folk Implosion (featuring Sebadoh's Lou Barlow) and Moby, among others, covering songs from "Schoolhouse Rock," the Emmy Award-winning educational cartoon series that aired Saturday mornings on ABC from 1973 to 1995 (it was brought back in the '90s for the enlightenment of a new generation of cartoon watchers). Barlow sings "I'm Just A Bill," interpreting the spoken voice of a congressional bill as an understandably whiny thing. The song paints a convincing, matter-of-fact picture of the complications faced by potential laws: "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill/And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill/Well, then I'm off to the White House where I'll wait in a line." Another standout is Blind Melon's cover of "Three Is A Magic Number." A laid-back, James Brownish psychedelic groove, combined with Shannon Hoon's squeaky-clean vocals, is sure to get the kids in the basement dancing.
