* "[[https://youtu.be/jnncP8Rkiro My Hero, Zero]]" is SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel incarnate, with heavy respects paid to the practicality of 0 in number formations.
* "[[https://youtu.be/hkcpzxzNSIU Elementary, My Dear]]" is the first attempt at a fast-paced song, and makes very effective use of the [[Literature/TheBible Noah's Ark]] theming.
* "[[https://youtu.be/OQUllbTKGQ0 Ready or Not, Here I Come]]" is an ''extremely'' catchy tune whose rhythm makes counting by 5 a complete cinch.
* "[[https://youtu.be/rJMf8UJn3vI Lucky Seven Sampson]]" is a relaxing {{bluegrass}} ditty and makes the tale of the titular [[TheArtfulDodger Artful Dodger]] a learning experience worth remembering.
* Grady Tate's debut on "[[https://youtu.be/OIbhLy_dlpc I Got Six]]" makes for one of the funkiest songs the series has to offer.
* "[[https://youtu.be/g0fLSpilteY Figure Eight]]" is famed jazz singer Blossom Dearie's debut, and her soft vocals overlapping the piano solo really sells the wintry atmosphere.
* "[[https://youtu.be/6Pcfs9HXy8w Naughty Number Nine]]" makes the viewer feel just as naughty as the pool-playing cat, involving themselves in some rather shady business that happens to teach the value of 9.
* "[[https://youtu.be/DV8IyHpCPnQ Little Twelvetoes]]" has rather alien-sounding instrumentation, fitting for its titular character, and makes the space-age theming really come alive in its unconventional teaching methods.

* "[[https://youtu.be/h0m89e9oZko A Noun is a Person, Place or Thing]]" is a nifty little throwback to [[TheFifties 50s]] pop music, and with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt stellar visuals]], to boot.
* Fitting for words that describe action, "[[https://youtu.be/5EicxQxzsW4 Verb: That's What's Happening]]" is an action-packed song that feels empowering.
* There's a reason why "[[https://youtu.be/LjdCFat9rjI Conjunction Junction]]" was voted as the #1 song from ''Schoolhouse Rock!''. Being Jack Sheldon's debut, it's a perfect blend of unconventional education and hilarious {{Non Sequitur}}s.

* "[[https://youtu.be/fNriI8SbRgc Unpack Your Adjectives]]" is yet another peaceful tune from Blossom Dearie, capturing the wondrous descriptions of camping perfectly.
* "[[https://youtu.be/dDwXHTcodNg Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here]]" takes its infomercial theme and runs with it, both figuratively ''and'' literally selling the effectiveness of adverbs in sentences.
* "[[https://youtu.be/koZFca8AkT0 Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla]]" is one heck of a [[WordSaladLyrics mouthful]], but it helps emphasize how convenient pronouns are to the tune of a wistful piano.
* "[[https://youtu.be/avC53wsZiJA Busy Prepositions]]" is a rare example of Bob Dorough and Jack Sheldon performing a duet, and their voices provide excellent harmony.
* "[[https://youtu.be/JoZn12BEjyM The Tale of Mr. Morton]]" is an utterly SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|moments}} tale of a ShrinkingViolet and a GirlNextDoor, with the predicate allowing for a real happy ending for the subjects.

* "[[https://youtu.be/WvOZs3g3qIo No More Kings]]" rivals ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' in how well it can make an utter mockery of UsefulNotes/GeorgeIII set to catchy show tunes.
* "[[https://youtu.be/Y6ikO6LMxF4 The Shot Heard 'Round the World]]" is the very definition of PatrioticFervor in music form, and the tone of the song makes the stakes of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution all the more blatant.
* "[[https://youtu.be/OqvLi7qZ_yU The Preamble]]" somehow manages to make the start of the Constitution work as a memorable folk song.
* Essra Mohawk ''nails'' the vocals on "[[https://youtu.be/CGHGDO_b_q0 Sufferin' Till Suffrage]]", creating an empowering ode to the success of women's rights.
* If there's anything to rival the cultural impact of "Conjunction Junction", it's "[[https://youtu.be/OgVKvqTItto I'm Just a Bill]]", featuring Jack Sheldon's vocals at his finest, and being so effective at explaining lawmaking that Congress even shows it to new members.
* "[[https://youtu.be/32l3sTFRFX8 The Great American Melting Pot]]" is a testament to how the U.S. is made up of people of all diversity, and it couldn't be had any other way. Lori Lieberman's vocals only enhance the wholesome message.
* "[[https://youtu.be/4OLWJ1TMuNE Mother Necessity]]" was designed to be a hodgepodge of every singer on the show up to that point, and their vocals are all perfectly tailored to each invention's conception.
* "[[https://youtu.be/tEPd98CbbMk Three-Ring Government]]" is a charming little piece that effectively describes the branches of government in a ballsy, yet endearing fashion, complete with soft instrumentation.

* "[[https://youtu.be/5WwcB4o1x_4 A Victim of Gravity]]" is a perfect encapsulation of {{Doowop}}'s aesthetic and musical style, being a guest performance by The Tokens[[note]]of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" fame[[/note]], no less.
* "[[https://youtu.be/MGgajx1pGPU Interplanet Janet]]" is by and large the speediest song of the series, which fits perfectly with a planetary tour courtesy of Janet and her Comet Team.
* "[[https://youtu.be/ns4Im3jBWUc Them Not-So-Dry Bones]]" takes the creepy nature of skeletons and makes it informative, yet spooky all the same with its clacking and slow piano.
* For how simple the concept is, "[[https://youtu.be/Xu_cdePrNe8 Electricity, Electricity]]" does a smooth job at making a sneaky song that can shock you at any given moment, as actual electricity does.
* "[[https://youtu.be/4Gdjcd68sGE Telegraph Line]]" does a surprisingly effective job at describing a concept as vague as the nervous system, and all set to a peppy rhythm behind it all.

* "[[https://youtu.be/GpplQEL46o8 Dollars and Sense]]" takes a country tune that pays homage to Music/DollyParton, and weaves the concept of interest neatly into its musical fabric.
* National deficits may be a harsh concept, but "[[https://youtu.be/wmowDcMUo5A Tyrannosaurus Debt]]" turns it into an easier-to-swallow form, not unlike all the money the titular dollarvore hungers for.

* There's a reason why "[[https://youtu.be/LjdCFat9rjI Conjunction Junction]]" was voted as the #1 song from ''Schoolhouse Rock!''. Being Jack Sheldon's debut, it's a perfect blend of unconventional education and hilarious [[NonSequitur Non-Sequiturs]].

Many people who grew up watching ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' consider most of the songs to be [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic complete winners]]. So much so, that quite a number of them have been covered by popular artists and bands (for example, Music/DeLaSoul sampled "Three Is The Magic Number" for their song "The Magic Number" off their 1989 album, ''Three Feet High And Rising''). A tribute album was released in 1996, ''Schoolhouse Rock Rocks'', which featured 15 cover tracks (plus the original intro) by artists such as Music/{{Ween}}, Music/BlindMelon, Music/{{Moby}}, Music/BetterThanEzra, Biz Markie, and The Lemonheads.
