One of my younger co-workers told me that his 3rd grade teacher showed them in class. I'm old enough that I saw them between cartoons on Saturday mornings.
I mean I have a couple, "Conjunction Junction" is a classic and so is "I'm Just a Bill" but the 2 I like best are "Naughty Number Nine" which, I suspect they pulled from the rotation because of all the smoking
And "Interjections!" because it's a catchy ass tune

As a history major in 1988, I will never forget the final exam for early american history which had an essay evaluating how the constitution lived up to the preamble. As people got to that point you would hear the tune being hummed as people used the tune to write out the preamble from memory.
We did Schoolhouse Rock Live as a school musical and it was a blast.

It's a tough choice. Conjunction Junction was fun too.
It was an inventive series that certainly had an influence on children in my generation.
