School Days

"School Days" is a popular song often used to invoke a favorable memory of one's younger years spent at school.
Despite its jovial sound, the song contains the lyric, "'Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic, taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick."
When Bobo attempted to talk Humpty Dumpty out of committing suicide in the Fairyland PD sketch from Muppets Tonight episode 108, he appeals to the fairy tale character's connection to his past by attempting to sing him the song. Halfway through the second line, Humpty jumps to his death.
The Two-Headed Monster sing a snatch of the tune, in their usual gibberish, in a sketch from Episode 2853 of Sesame Street.
The song also served as the music button to a Spanish Word of the Day sketch about the word "escuela."
