Radio Lab: Three is a Magic Number
When Radio Lab goes musical, the world shifts a little bit into harmony. It happened before with the Musical Language episode (‘Sometimes behave so strangely’) and it’s happened with their latest, Pop Music.
The above animation is from Schoolhouse Rock! for which the song Three is a Magic Number was written in 1973. A perfectly acceptable alternate version appears in the friendship montage of one of my favorite movies that everyone else hates: Slackers (2002).
I never knew this was from Schoolhouse Rock. I know this song from the very cool Blue Note series Blue Break Beats.
