Schoolhouse Rock! – “Electricity Electricity”

Original Air Date: May 19, 1979

Synopsis: The applications and laws governing electricity are demonstrated.

Cartoon Cat: The workman who has been walking through the demonstrations (albeit absent-mindedly) has just combed a sheep to create static electricity. A cat approaches and rubs against the man who pets him as the narrator sings, “Stroking a cat to make it purr, you’re building up static electricity.”
