The `60s Grade School Workout

The "chicken fat" song, a staple of gym class:

That was back when schools did things that promoted the development of students to do more than take a frigging test. There were gym classes, music classes, art classes, science classes and foreign language classes, all in elementary schools.

But as I said, they were trying to teach things back then. And, to some extent, the idea was to have physically fit and reasonably well educated young men for the next war.

Now, of course, childhood obesity is a problem (if it was a communicable disease, it'd be an epidemic), which is degrading national military readiness, and the big focus in schools for the past decade has been being able to pass frigging tests in the Every Child Dragged Down program.

Update: If you play the song and follow along, it's not a bad little workout.
