Schoolhouse Rock "Scholastic Rock" original opening and closing credits (1970s)

Schoolhouse Rock! is a series of animated musical educational short films that aired during Saturday morning children's programming on U.S. television network American Broadcasting Company (ABC). Topics covered include grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and politics. The series aired between 1972 and 1986, and infrequently during the 1990s and 2000s, with new shows created between 1993 and 1996, until its cancellation by ABC in 2001.

Before the superhero character Schoolhouse Rocky (and the yellow stony "Schoolhouse Rock!" logo itself) was created in 1981, the show originally was titled "Scholastic Rock" (or simply "Multiplication Rock" at the time) in 1973. In 1975, the publishing company Scholastic, Inc. hired a lawyer who insisted they change the title of the show to "Schoolhouse Rock." The show itself has since been more commonly known as "Schoolhouse Rock," but the publishing company that produced the clips retained the name "Scholastic Rock Inc."

The show also did not use the usual Schoolhouse Rock! opening credits back in the 70s. Each of the first four component series, Multiplication Rock, Grammar Rock, America Rock, and Science Rock had their own opening credits of the same title for each series. Sometime after America Rock, the shorts were then comprised of the series Schoolhouse Rock. Of the four series' opening and closing credits, only the first two have been made available online, but with sponsors and with Grammar Rock having shortened credits (though the full, sponsorless, unedited, longer version of the original Grammar Rock opening and closing credits was included in NantoVision2's upload of "Interjections!" with the original unfinished audio in 2008, but sadly deleted from YouTube). Only a brief clip from the America Rock" closing credits was found in the Toon Disney airings of some Schoolhouse Rock shorts that were uploaded to YouTube via user TV Über, and is followed by a remade credits sequence. The 1975 opening and closing credits of Schoolhouse Rock (using a scene from the beginning of the song "Figure Eight") has resurfaced. The opening or closing credits for Science Rock'' is currently lost and has not turned up online in any form (aside from a screenshot).
