Oh, I remember when the first one came out. For my gym class in 2006, we had two classes that were combined into one, and we would play sports together. Both gym teachers had children ages 5-7, and the adults knew all the words to every high school musical song! They even started singing parts of them one day in class. Sadly, it's one of those memories I'll never forget.
You know, I used to have a ton of respect for Disney. Heck, I still watch those dumb sing-along tapes they used to come out with in the late-80s from time to time! Then around the time Hilary Duff started becoming popular, I began to stop thinking they were cool. High School Musical only made my already-diminished views of Disney sink further.
Although I probably shouldn't complain, as I haven't seen the darn show.
