did you guys come up with this song yourselves our is this an actual song?

It's an actual song by a kids learning program

this was probably the best 3 minutes of my life oml

I hope you have many other good moments in your life, as good as, yea, better than, these 3.

How come the FANBOYS got arrested for stopping a train robbery?

Maybe the Magistrate was in cahoots with the Robbers, and arrested the Fanboys so they can’t foil his evil plans any more

i have this song stuck in my head.....HELP ME

Sing, "It's a Small World After All". That'll replace this one (but then you'll have different problem).

i like this song...i like the part that said "BUT!"...i can listen to this song everyday...HAHA

Lmao yes! BUT I have to say that the magistrate part didn't make much sense.

i think ill do a trap remix if thats ok. plz reply if so..

All three people who made this video song are no longer here. If you wish proper copyright permission to make a trap remix of the song, you'll have to apply to corporate headquarters of Khan Academy and give full particulars.

how did he change color so fast and draw so fast

He used some magical fairy dust known as "software".

Lesson 4: Correlative conjunctions and starting sentences

BONUS: "FANBOYS," a mnemonic song

Google Classroom

"FANBOYS" is a mnemonic device you can use to help remember the coordinating conjunctions of English. Team Grammar made this video, figuring that we couldn't very well cover conjunctions without writing a song, now could we?

If you're moved to make your own version, send it our way at remix@khanacademy.org; we're excited to hear what you do!

♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who carry the fan ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who had a plan ♫ For the way was long ♫ And the day was hot ♫ The boys were always prepared ♫ Neither sand nor heat ♫ Would assail their feet ♫ They did what no others had dared ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who carry the fan ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who had a plan ♫ The Fanboys were on a train to Laredo ♫ When bandits made an assault ♫ But ♫ But the Fanboys fan made a wind so mighty ♫ The banditry came to a halt ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who carry the fan ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who had a plan ♫ The magistrate said we're all very grateful ♫ But it's time for an end to your fun ♫ He said to the boys ♫ It's your fan or your freedom ♫ And you may only have one ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who carry the fan ♫ Fanboys Fanboys ♫ The boys who had a plan ♫ The boys saw the land was crying for justice ♫ Yet they knew that this wasn't the way ♫ So they put down their fan ♫ And they picked up their notebooks ♫ And this is what they had to say ♫ - [Voiceover] Though we lay down our fan this day, you too can have the power to unite phrases, words and clauses with the coordinating conjunctions of English. Which are: - [All] For. And. Nor. But. Or. Yet. So. - [Voiceover] You too can harness the power of the Fanboys. ♫ Fanboys ♫ They're the Fanboys ♫ The boys who carry the fan ♫ That's their whole deal ♫ Fanboys ♫ We're all Fanboys ♫ Remember the boys with the fan ♫
