** The second verse of "Interjections!", in which Geraldine's vigorous objections to Geraldo's repeated passes are dismissed as "playing hard to get", offsets the song's good lesson about grammar with a bad one about StalkerWithACrush behavior getting the girl.



* ValuesDissonance: Some ideas about American history and culture that were popular around the Bicentennial have since fallen out of favor. In particular:
** "Elbow Room" is likely to leave a bad taste in peoples' mouths these days as the song is about the UsefulNotes/ManifestDestiny. It's incredibly oversimplified in that fails to mention any of the... [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans let's]] [[MightyWhitey just]] [[UsefulNotes/MexicanAmericanWar say]] questionable aspects of that time period.

** "The Great American Melting Pot": The recipe book lists various individual countries (and at least one US commonwealth), but only lists [[AfricaIsACountry "Africans" for Africa]]. It also features a stereotypical depiction of an Indian boy in a turban on a bed of nails.
** In "Mother Necessity", the first invention shown is Eli Whitney's cotton gin. It depicted white workers working it, although in reality black slaves mostly worked the machines.

A few dozen people polled are not 2/3 of Americans.


** "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote To College" promotes the Electoral College as being a universally great idea, but it has fallen out of favor with some Americans as of late (a 2023 poll indicates that [[https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/09/25/majority-of-americans-continue-to-favor-moving-away-from-electoral-college/ about two-thirds of Americans want it abolished]]).

** "Walkin' on Wall Street", which is about investing and the stock market, features a pigeon named Lester checking newspapers to see stock prices and calling up his broker to buy stocks for him. With popularization of the Internet, Lester would've likely google the prices and bought the stocks himself using an online brokerage account or investing app.
