The Tokens - A Victim Of Gravity (Schoolhouse Rock)

Comments: This is a blast from the past for me. This was featured as part of the “School House Rock“ educational series that aired on ABC during Saturday morning children’s programming. I remember watching every Saturday morning hoping they would play this that week! Back in the 80’s while checking out the bargain bins at K-Mart I came across a VHS tape containing all the episodes and had to snatch it up. Wikipedia: Schoolhouse Rock! is an American interstitial programming series of animated musical educational short films (and later, videos) that aired during the Saturday morning children’s programming block on the U.S. television network ABC. The themes covered included grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and civics. The series’ original run lasted from 1973 to 1984; it was later revived with both old and new episodes airing from 1993 to 1996. A fourth series, titled “Science Rock,“ followed in 1978 and 1979, and included a broad range of science-related topics. The premiere episode of this season, “A Victim of Gravity,“ parodied elements of the hit film Grease and featured a rare guest appearance from a pop band, with recently reunited doo-wop group The Tokens providing the vocals. !
