Thanks to Rick and Marc for their informative comments. 

I should say that I knew nothing about Schoolhouse Rock before I 
posted my note, and assumed that the video was relatively recent. I 
came across it in an article in _Slate_ which I wanted to post but 
decided it was insufficiently relevant to psychology (not that 
there's anything wrong with that on this list, but I like to 
pretend). 

The article, which I found amusing and edifying, is about a Canadian 
becoming an American who discovers that the answers to the questions 
on the citizenship test are inaccurate, big time (hey, maybe I should 
reconsider its irrelevancy). 

As it happens, Christopher Hitchens  made the same complaint (in his 
memoir, Hitch-22) after he went through the process.
