happypamama Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 100%. Thank you, Animaniacs and your song. I will confess to having a ridiculously good longterm memory, and memorizing lists of people is super easy for me. Songs do help too.

Bensmom Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I can name a good many, but I can sing ALL of them! This exactly! Of course, since I learned the song in 8th grade, I have no real tune past George Bush :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applethyme Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 70% I just drew a blank on some names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberries Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 72%. I'm going to have to look up the song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I only got 51% but I think that might be do to it being after midnight and I might have had a beer or two. :cheers2: I knew the first and last group. It was mostly the middle that got me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 In my defense, I didn't grow up in this country. In my not-so defense......I have taught US History (against my will) in the PS system...... I got 91%. I don't remember any president named Arthur.....did he do anything important? I knew Chester A Arthur, but only because of a Die Hard movie :lol: . It was part of a riddle to find which school had a bomb, and a truck driver knew all the presidents and that the name was Arthur. :blush: I got 29/43, 67%. Let it be known that jewellsmommy does not know her presidents (but she does know her Die Hard movies :P ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I can't do Prime Ministers, but I can probably have a decent stab at Kings/Queens of England from 1485 onwards. Knowing the list (in order) does give shape to eras. L So can my kids! "I'm William the Conquerer. My enemies stood no chance...." Thank you, Horrible Histories!

Grover Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not from the US. Never even been there, lol. I missed 4, thanks to the Jonathan Coulton song. I blanked on one verse, so missed Mckinley, Wilson and Harding, then I couldn't remember one line (Truman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Holy heck. I missed Washington. Jefferson, and Obama. Have no idea why I didn't start "From the very beginning. Which is a very good place to start." I have no excuses :cursing: It's after midnight....but that is still no damn excuse. Self-loathing shall commence.
