A song whose purpose is to educate. It need not be strictly educational (for instance, in the context of a work of fiction, it may also serve to further the plot). Educational songs are expected to crop up a lot in science shows or edutainment shows. A special case is when the educational song happens to be a Protest Song: these tend to be crash courses in political theory, economics, philosophy, or other subjects many find heavy going. A Historical Biography Song is usually not intended as an educational song in the usual sense and may be heavy on the Artistic License – History, but may have educational value. Older Than They Think, given that there are Older Than Radio examples of recorded educational songs and many examples written down are much older than that. Often takes the form of a List Song. Super-Trope to Earth Song and Alphabet Song. Examples |

The Sesame Street Greatest Hits Album Sesame Street Platinum All Time Favorites, which was added to the National Recording Registry in 2014, has several of these: "Bein' Green", "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange)" and "We Are All Earthlings" are both about accepting yourself and that everybody is different, but we are all people on the same Earth. " 'C' Is For Cookie" is about the fact that the letter "c" is used for the word cookie. "One Fine Face", sang by Ernie and Elmo, about the different parts of the face. "Put Down The Duckie" is about focusing on what you want to do and not being distracted by other things. |

The most popular song of 1959 was "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton, which was a song that thought about the same battle in 1815 (with some embellishment for comedic effect). The song was actually most popular with teens and college students, which is impressive because it was a folk-country song about a topic they'd learned about in history years ago and it was during the height of the golden age of rock and roll. | |

Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, which is a classical composition accompanied by a storyteller telling a fairy tale.
