Ever watch Sesame Street recently? I saw a sketch on Elmo's World or something about a kid with down syndrome growing a plant. oh, and that "A Count Of 10" thing? Compared to this, it's nothing. Don't watch if you're easily disturbed. and yes, this WAS done by Jim Henson, during his "Experimental" phase. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ep0h7R8JnjM[/url]

"Oh, no," he said "Just change your song." Above it all I love to fly Below it, too There in the sky The world's below Above my eye Above-below it all! (Above-below it all!) At last I know it all Above-below it all!

musicradio77 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 742	I remember a few years ago, A&E had a "Biography" of "Sesame Street" featuring some of the great moments in history and how it got started. Harry Smith (of CBS' "Early Show" was the host. At the end, Oscar the Grouch made a guest appearence in the beginning and end where he was saying "'Biography' is brought to you today by the letters 'A' and 'E'. Now scram!". They also has clips from the show and even the very first episode where it made in claymation where it say episode "1". Does anybody have a copy of the opening to the very first show done in claymation? Let me know if you have it. Thanks!

Roadgeek 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 1021	Man, I loved Sesame Street back in the day. I just recently took a look at that video of the credits from 1992. All of these memories just kept coming back while watching it like the emblems at the end. I had forgotten about that Corporation of Public Broadcasting emblem and the PBS bumper at the end until I saw that. Man, PBS rocked in the '90s.

I also like the version that Pee Wee (and a handful of other celebrities) sings that particular song. Does anyone remember that song? It really makes me want to dance a move. Sorry if I say this over and over again but I really like the "Body Dance" and "Dancing Feet" segments. There's also a video clip about a handful of sesame street characters appear in a live action scene along with the other humans and if I remember from that clip in the end, there is some guy's feet lying down, next to Ernie and Bert. Anyone remember what other clips they remembered seeing? I love Sesame Street. Especially the rap songs and other songs I liked. They gave me an er***tion. Here's a list of the songs I liked a lot. Face Facts (Those two girls are so sexy, especially when they dance) Not With Litter (Rap song with kids cleaning up trash in a park in a timelapse) Toothpaste Factory Rap (How Do They Get The Toothpaste In The Tube?) Box City Recyclin' Rap (Kids building things with boxes and stuff) The number segments (These are what I really love: 13, 15, 17, 19) Circles Rap Cecile intro Letter and shape segments (With kids dancing; C- Circle, S- Square and T- Triangle) P- Party (With kids dancing, and one girl blowing out the candles) At School Happy Birthday (A woman's voice said it in a rap way with sexy sounds and rap-like music) We Got the Power (Computer rap segment) That's What's Best About Getting Dressed Faces Rap My New Computer Body Dance Take Care of That Smile No Matter What (Kids chasing a big multi-colored ball) That's the whole list. I really love those songs, I want video clips of them! And mp3s, too!

Roadgeek 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 1021	Alright, this is a very vague memory. Wish me luck. Back in the early-mid '90s, Sesame Street had a show within the show starring Cookie Monster. It was very fancy and it looked like he was very rich in those segments. Anyone remember those? I'm trying to work on my PBS side of my '90s nostalgia by the way.

mr3urious 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 3359	WARNING: Long post! I also remember "Hot in the City", which had kids in New York using various methods to cool off during the summertime, such as playing in a fire hydrant or rubbing their faces on a block of ice; this segment that showed kids playing on a giant computer doing all kinds of stuff; this segment from the 70's or 80's which had kids making sand castles at the beach, and one of them makes a plesiosaurus (a dinosaur with flippers), but the kid doing the voice-over has a hard time pronouncing the word; tennis player Michael Chang teaching Big Bird how to play tennis (And ending up tying his shoes in the process!); an overhead view of kids carrying paper plates or pieces of paper and bunching together to form letters, and then throwing said paper all over the place; a little animated mountain climber scaling a live-action boy and talking about his various body parts along the way (When the man reached the top, he jumped off of the boy, and the boy said, "Happy landings!"; this girl talking about her dog Puck (What kind of name is Puck, anyway?) and what she does to take good care of her; a segment about this Cuban girl having a family reunion and making fried bananas with her mother in the beginning; a segment that involved kids doing various exercises with this aerobics instructor; a segment from the 90's with kids taking care of a garden and playing with the hose to cool off at the end; and Placido Flamingo's All-Animal Orchestra (Zing, Zing, Hey!). Neros Urameshi wrote: Not With Litter (Rap song with kids cleaning up trash in a park in a timelapse) Heh heh, I remember that, too! Neros Urameshi wrote: No Matter What (Kids changing a big multi-colored ball) They still air that occasionally on the newer SS episodes. Neros Urameshi wrote: Face Facts (Those two girls are so sexy, especially when they dance) Face it, face it, face it, face it... Face the music Face it, face it, face it, face it... Face facts Aw man, now you got me started! And does anyone remember this other SS segment which had kids playing in a park running around various structures (such as this bike rack-looking thing) to a rather somber-sounding tune?

I don't think I know that segment. Still, I want (extremely) high quality videos and (extremely) high quality mp3s of the songs I listed.
