Sharpen your grammar, revisit the periodic table, and remember your states and capitals with these fun videos.

Ah! Learning! School can sometimes feel like a drag but before you hit YouTube to watch another cat falling off of someone’s kitchen counter, why not load up one of the following videos that prove, without a doubt, that even complicated topics can be legitimately fun. Besides, what’s not to love about Professor X or Ray Charles singing the alphabet to you?

We rounded up six videos that are just plain cool from YouTube stars, celebrities, rock bands, and even the Animaniacs. And, oh yeah, you might just learn a thing or two.

If there's one thing all kids love, it's nerdy experimental rock bands from the '80s explaining difficult concepts. Here, "They Might Be Giants" takes us through the basics of the elements in a pretty nifty animated video.

# 4. Memorize Your States and Capitals With Animaniacs
