Conjunction Junction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Conjunction Junction" is a song written by Bob Dorough as part of the Schoolhouse Rock! series of educational songs and videos. Jack Sheldon and Terry Morel performed the song, which first aired on January 5, 1973.[1] Phil Kimmelman headed up the animation.


[edit] Themes

The song was part of the Grammar Rock division of the series, and it taught the use of conjunctions through the metaphor of a railway junction connecting railroad cars. The frequent refrain of the song is "Conjunction Junction, what's your function?" and the response is that conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. It addresses and, but, or, and nor.

Musically, the song has a blues feel.
