It has sounded a lot more urbanish kinda tune where they were singing "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12". That brings back a lot of memories of watching "Sesame Street". I'm 27 years old but I'm too old to watch that show. I remember the another segment includes the alphabet in fireworks. I've seen it before, but I don't see that segment on YouTube yet. Maybe I should look for it. I love the "Family Food" segment with Richard Dawson from "Family Feud". It was based on a popular game show of the same name. I hope my niece would love to see it someday.

There would be a black screen, and a point of light would draw multiple circles or octagons, then lines through all of them and once it was done, all the shapes would turn. In the background there was singing like "ah-AH-ah-AH-ei-ei-ei-ei-ei-ei-ah-AH-ah-AH", and would reach a sustained crescendo once the drawing was finished...That was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever heard. There were around 5 or so different versions. YES! That's the Philip Glass segment I keep talking about- I agree with you, it was so cool, even as a little kid I thought it was so neat. Glad someone remembered it!

Then there's one that shows these dolphins doing tricks (live action) and THAT music brings back memories. It's not so much the skits, but the music- where they're harvesting corn, with that early 70's flute music.

mr jinx 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 14	Well after 21 pages one would think there's nothing left to share, but happily...........this is gonna be good. "Rapunzel,Rapunzel, LET DOWN YOUR HAIR!!!!" "I CAN'T HEAR YA, CAN YA TALK A LITTLE LOUDER?!?!" Skit with plumber and Parrot-"it's the plumber, he's come to fix the sink" Cartoon sketch about letter H, ending with "this is Harold, have I had any calls"? Cartoon sketch about letter G in which man can stop laughing 'cause he's trying to tell us G, as in the word, "GIGGLE!!!!" Puppet Sketch involving subjects putting together picnic helped by instructions from the king. "WHO'S GOT THE POTATO SALAD?" "WE'VE GOT IT KING!!" "I CAN ONLY SING THE LOW, LOW LOW PART, ITS THE ONLY PART I KNOW ,I KNOW....." Puppet Sketch involving straight man trying to teach you how to invision different shapes such as triangle,square , rectangle, only to be intterupted by musician puppet turning each visual into a guitar shape instead. Grover playing hide and go seek with different sized letter Z'S or was it generic puppet with red hair? Generic puppet being conned into buying ill fitting hat by hat store clerk. "I'M ALWAYS THERE BEFORE HE IS," "AND I'M ALWAYS THERE .......AFTER HIM" Learning about the alphabet as camera pans over different signage in Manhattan, focusing on one letter at a time correspondingly, from a hotel sign to a manholecover etc, with kids sounding off each letter appropiately, while a kind of Herb Alpert type ez listening tune plays in the background. "I SAID I'M ROOSEVELT FRANKLIN,YES HE IS" Herbie the glasses wearing puppet usually torturing Grover with some type of demonstration. Hairy Monster eating an umbrella with ketchup. Cookie Monster stealing brownies off of Ernie's display while Ernie's trying to take a picture. Ernie BLASTING Bert out of bed because of "baloon" explosion. Ernie practicing barber on Bert, shaving Bert's head completely. You're good if you remember this one, some weird musical sketch ending with a blue triangle dancing backwards against a yellow background. "GEEEEEEE GROVER" "GEEEEEEEE GEORGE" A seal, a princess, under a tree ,and me taken away by a flying eagle... another one of those appeared to be drug inspired cartoon sketches this one I believe relating to the letter E. Talking clam telling ol'seafarer type not pull up any seaweed plants. Talking letter O explaining himself to a horse,cartoon sketch. Ape explaining how to spell to a gentleman in cartoon sketch ending with "i've got to go to the jungle and eat bananas" That powerful theme ALSO SPRACH Z-something that would "SHAKE" a giant stone block to reveal a letter identifying itself. Don't ever have a letter M over for dinner, cartoon sketch where letter M eats everything on table identifying each food as it goes along, "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmilk" Puppet detectives looking for letter W , who gives them the slip by turning upside down saying he's a letter M. Anybody Remember these? Lot's more to come.

Even though Elmo was in it, it was still a good song. 3 Ethel Mermaid 4 Cookie Monster's nightmare about floating cookies.

musicradio77 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 742	I remember a long time ago, I used to have a Sesame Street LP called "My Name Is Roosevelt Franklin". It has "The Skin I'm In", "Halfies" and others. It was on the Columbia label back in the early 70's. But now, I lost my record somewhere back in my Puerto Rico days. I remember the LP I used to have was "Sesame Disco", it has the following songs: 1. "What Makes Music?" - The entire cast 2. "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco" - Cookie Monster and the Girls 3. "The Happiest Street in the World" - Big Bird, Kids and Girls 4. "Sing" - The Girls 5. "Disco Frog" - Kermit the Frog and Girls 6. "Doin the Trash" - Oscar the Grouch and the Girls 7. "Bein Green" - Kermit and Girls. 8. "The Happiest Street in the World (Reprise)" There was also a song called "Sing" where it was sung by the Carpenters. That's a great song as part of "Sesame Street".

t-dotslittlesecret 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 44	This just in, one skit that I remember from watching Sesame Street is the one when the pencil is trying to spell "Dance". He writes "Danz", then erasing it, then "Dans" and then erasing it once again until he can spell "Dance" correctly. In the end, I really like when he dances off the screen. That one really make me laugh. Does anyone remember this? If so, do you have a video of that?

System 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 74809	I am SOOO glad there are others out there that remember the REAL SESAME STREET... So far I've seen posts for all the good ones... the pinball bit...the baby song (ga ga goo goo wah wah wah wah) here FISHY FISHY FISHY...I still say that the one with the kids running and jumping...and there shadows and stuff...what was different was that all those kids were Special Ed kids...you don't see that now. what about the montage of sounds that starts with a leaky faucet, someone snoring, then the vacuum goes, then the the record player goes, then the train comes by, then they go backwards Anytime OLIVIA sang...like the duet with George Benson, singing You've got a Friend...when I first heard the Carole King version, I said, "Oh Olivia sang it better." And the Don't Walk song with Olivia, Susan, and Maria remember when Maria was the YOUNGEST cast memeber...she was so cool, that long hair, those cool clothes she wore...I remember she dated David Remember when David daydreamed that he was really good at roller skating? And Cookie Monster singing, 'I left My Cookie At The Disco"...he was dressed up like Issac Hayes... And I do remember Cookie Monster's nightmare about the floating cookie's...I had a similar one to it once and wet the bed Grover the Waiter singing..."GRA NAAA DAAAAAAAA OLE' OLE' OLE'...OOOPS...I'm sorry sir, I seemed to have dropped your number 3" Letter B, Letter B Letter BUH BUH Letter B...I loved the BUh Buh sound of Letter BEEEEEEEEEE! Sometimes it sounds like GUH GUH GUH GUH...sometimes it sounds like Juh Juh Juh Juh
