Sesame Street - Like The Way U Does

[Jennafu832]

Props to Sesame Street for not making their new "U" skit scary like the old one. No child should ever have to watch the monstrosity that was Smokey Robinson being molested, and then carried away, by a giant foam letter "U". While that may seem a little dramatic to some of you, I can assure you that most of my cohort who were exposed to that horrible clip as a child will be haunted by it the rest of our lives.

@Jennafu832 I beg to differ. There's something even creepier about getting humped by Melissa Etheridge than a creepy U crotch grab.

[Jennafu832]

@joeybagh Well, I guess we can just agree to disagree. It wasn't just the crotch grab. I mean, yes, that WAS scary. BUT, it was also the idea that the "U" "really got a hold of me." The "U" wouldn't let him go. It relentlessly clung to him despite his many efforts to run away. Anyone who is even slightly claustrophobic wouldn't feel comfortable, and it can easily cause trauma for kids. I highly doubt Melissa Etheridge would compare to a floating letter "U", chasing you and clinging to you.

hmmm she is squeezing and grinding with a big pink U.... "you stand for Underwear, Unworthy and Unfair" LOL

My daughter was 6 when this came out. At that time, Sesame Street ran that same program in the morning and the afternoon so we recorded it on VHS. We wore that tape out! We knew all the words and sang that song all the time. Who ever wrote it is a genius and Melissa Etheridge is an awesome singer.

And they thought Katy Perry needed to be pulled - LOL!

Aww i love this! Just when i thought Melissa couldnt do no more i find this video!! She soo talented!

[SpamNapkin]

Damn, I haven't seen this one since I was four! My mom used to listen to a lot of Melissa Etheridge (or maybe she just came on the radio a lot, I don't remember) so I was already pretty familiar with the song.

[KPRawls]

Thank "U"!! My 1 year old son loves this! Can't lie, I do too..

[Doolsey]

Damn, is that woman not the epitome of cool or what? She's saying, "I'm so cool, I can be on 'Sesame Street.'" (sort of like Sebastian Bach is so cool he can sing, "Hollaback Girl" at a bat mitsvah on "Gilmore Girls," but I digress)

Love the eyeroll at 0:38.

[candedow1973]

I love this video!!! I want this on my Ipod!! She can sing anything and make it hot!!!

[grecomic]

I'm glad this U was more well-behaved than Smokey Robinson's!

[TheaterServant]

Me too!

[Pikachuiscool]

I wish that U puppet had a face. It would've made more sence.

[KingSlifer]

She forgot one U word: Unbe-freaking-lievable!

[Rltpage]

There's something kind of loveable about a woman and her U. Seeing Melissa Etheridge hugging and dancing with that letter U is so nice. I love this song, with Melissa and her one and only love, the letter U.

[raakone]

There's some cool songs for U done on that show.

[KingSlifer]

Yet in my opinion none of them can hold a candle to "Thinking of U".
