This is such a beautiful song, this and the satellite robot toy one were my all time fav video clips from sesame street, I adore Sesame Street and shudder to think how dull my life would've been without this and playschool!! <3
Do you have Episode 0813, Scene 6 when "Luis walks through his old childhood haunts, singing a sentimental song about his memories of this special place"? I would really appreciate if you could post it if it is in your archives.

@GroverKent I lived in an apartment complex in one of the two apartments closest to a railroad crossing for a track that Amtrak trains roared down. I only lived there a year and I never got used to it. Amtrak trains are LOUD when they go by!!! The slower, longer freight trains weren't much quieter either.
We had a Sesame Street video that was about betime, and this song was on it, but the clips included astronauts sleeping in outer space. They were in tethered sleeping bags, had eye masks on, and their arms floated above their bodies. It was fun to see, but the tape wore out and broke, and I haven't seen it since.
@darla620 I totally understand that reaction…Sesame Street entertained and educated while creating a sense of well-being for children the world over. My brothers, childhood friends and I were all in love with this show and these clips still make me smile.
What i love about SS is that it ALWAYS showed NYC and inner cities around the world in a different light. This is the NYC that I remember growing up. And I am only 30 years old lol
A classic from the the late Joe Raposo. Can anyone tell me if YouTube has the funny face clip? Joe sings "Funny Face" while a baboon or something flicks his eyes and then treats us to a real toothy grin and open mouth. I remember that scared the crap out of my little brother.
Oh my God I remember this like it was yesterday! I'm 43 and being a kid in the 70's was the best. Those were the best years of my life. This and Mr. Rogers were a staple in my home. And yes the car seat in this video is classic! How I miss growing up in NY in the 70's!
At 42, this was my favorite as a kid. Please make sure you spot the car seat. As a child we didn't understand why they had a high chair in the car? We had no idea what a car-seat was! I am finally putting that mystery to bed. I can't believe my eyes! It was a car seat!!! Lol
@toomark Yeah, and just look at how the kid isn't really strapped in either. One sudden stop and his (or is it a her) chest is right into that bar. Wow!
wow,i remember watching this wen i was a kid,and even searched for this vid on youtube ages ago,glad someone else remembers it and uploaded,it lol,song used to make me feel so relaxed wen i heard it as a kid
Wonderful memories! I used to love this clip as a little girl because I had a similar car seat, lol. I also loved how they showed couples sleeping in the bed together. It was shown as normal & natural. :)
Damn, if this ain't throwback material I do not know what is. Man know I miss my Bert & Ernie alarm clock. If I've said it once I've said it a million times....you gotta love the internet...if nothing else for these little walks down memory lane.
During the 1:09-1:17 mark, the guy in the chair does look a little bit like John Lennon. I don't know for sure if it was him or not. Why the hell did he fall off the chair? Maybe he had too much to drink.
when i was child i loved watching sesame streets bedtime stories and songs and this song just reminds me how many places i have sleptedin bed, on a chair, and the great outdoors
Memoriesssssss I would always remeber this one episode in sesame street i was watching it while gettin ready for elementary school back in the days and i was sooo sleepy that morning an some how this came on and i just kept sayin to myself " They look so comfy in bed while i gota go to school" Lol Memories are forever!
Everybody was sleeping in a different spot. Some were sleeping while taking a break from their job. Some people sleep on a hammock on their porch. They should've shown that. Everybody sleeps in a different spot at different times.
I must have seen a more updated one in the later 80s but I remember some of the clips, and the baby in the car.I used to think he was driving and got confused :P
I've never been in the 70s but from the picture's I see and movies clips and songs, I feel as though I was there and that for some reason that I will go in a place in time like the 70s because that time period was my home. Its sorta confusing (^-^)a but thats how I feel.
I understand how you feel, i true 70's kid born in 1970 saw all the changes - we played outside in the sun, watched less TV compared to now, made our own games from simple things like a game with a tin can , hop scotch, tag e.t.c LIfe was more laid back, no pressure to be in the cool crowd on facebook lol! Sucks to be a kid now I dont care for all the technology.
Funny how they changed a bit of the song. "All animals and people.Every day of the week." In the new one "Mounteniers on mountin tops and divers in the deeps." Maybe they changed it because they found out that "creeps" does not sound the same as "week".
Can someone please repost The following Classic old school Joe raposo skits...."flying" "Bridges", "Cornfield", "Weave, little weaver bird". They we removed.
Sesame street back then was sooo Relaxing and educational just by these little songs...... the version showing now is crap to me...they dont even count past 25 anymore :-S I LOVE THE OLD ONE :-)
Everybody sleeps...but me. That's why I'm up at 3:00 a.m. watching these fantastic old clips that take me back in time, lol. Bless YouTube and bless vintage Sesame Street!
I love this one and I was thinking about it the other day! Haven't seen this in years, so thank you!!! This was a favorite of mine! Hmm... kind of ironic that I'm watching this at 2:30 in the morning when I SHOULD be sleeping! LOL
My favorite Joe Raposo tune (so mellow and relaxing) and always loved the sleeping version (eating is pretty good too!) of the song. At 1:00 of the video, with the overhead of the kid sleeping, I used to have the same exact sheet set on my bed when I was about seven or eight!
yeah totally isn't that crazy that my Grandfather starred in a Sesame Street Video cause I knew why because Mom told me after watching this clip on Bedtime Stories and Songs on VHS when I was a youngun.
Wow my favorite song from the past, yeah John Lennon did fall off of the chair infact Mom told me that when I was 7 years old watching Bedtime Stories and Songs on vhs over and over and over again infact I still love this song plus I thought I saw Maria sleeping naked in that film after John Lennon fell out of the chair also, but I may be wrong but I think it might've been so again thanks for taking me back to memory lane and keep on postin'
Now this is one of the great Sesame classics. I always loved it. I didn't realize that the sleeping couple in the first shot were the same as were used in other shots.
As for the man sleeping on a high beam, I'm guessing he's probably a professional construction worker. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
OMG! man, I remember this piece. it makes you all tingly inside bcuz you can think back as a kid - maybe it's just me, but when I was a kid the weather now wasn't so messed up - our summers were sunny, clear and windy all the time and the perfect warmness - makes me MAD about everything that's going on now-the jacked up economy, the foreclosures, the sick society, and the dang analysts who want to be right! But when I see these videos from my childhood it all goes away for a few minutes.
This really brought back tons of great memories! I felt childish again for those few moments. My favorite part is the guy sleeping on the I beam. what a nut! I cant believe I remembered that! I'm almost 30, where did time go?!
I think this was from season 4 (1972-73), not the first season. The cars on the street as the man was sleeping on a MTA Bus in New York was the dead giveaway.
Wow, I'm surprised that guy was able to stay asleep even with a freight train passing by! The freight trains I've heard passing through my town make so much noise (the loud clicking wheels, the squealing brakes, the horn sounding at the railway crossings) it'd even snap you out of a trance! But the commuter trains that pass through my town, on the other hand, don't make as much noise.
I love this. The hippie falling out of the chair is just classic and hilarious.
I remember looking at some of the people and thinking "now how could anyone sleep that way? Wouldn't the anxiety/noise keep you up?"
The funny part is that I've become one of those people who could sleep through a tornado. If they make a third version, they can come here for footage of me grumbling at the alarm clock and ignoring four wakeup calls before giving in and getting up, though it's not as peaceful. ;)
Omg...I like literally fell asleep on this computor listening to this.
reminds me as a child my mom use to put this video with this song in it and I would be asleep as soon as it was over...things haven't changed I guess! lol
Everybody Eats, Everybody Sleeps! Same tune, different lyrics, yet two of the many Raposo memories that come back to me and make me feel a quarter-century younger!
this guy's voice is so amazingly nostalgicaly soothing...heaven for me will be everyone talking in Raposo's warmbath, soulful, sing-song croon...sigh!
i remember watching this when i was like 5 and 6 years old...im 20 now. its crazy because i remember this like yesterday...i miss being that young, wow!
I have been going back to the old Sesame Street film ci\lips on youtube, and I was hoping to find this. Thank you for uploading this. Brings back some old but pleasant memories. Kids these days are missing out on the good stuff of what we use to watch on t.v.
Is that really Jerry Nelson at 0:28?

I think this was from season 4 (1972-73), not the first season. The cars on the street as the man was sleeping on a MTA Bus in New York was the dead giveaway.

OMG! I remember this song from when I was a kid! I used to LOOOOVE Sesame Street....and I still love it and I'm almost 30! LOL!!

Wow, I'm surprised that guy was able to stay asleep even with a freight train passing by! The freight trains I've heard passing through my town make so much noise (the loud clicking wheels, the squealing brakes, the horn sounding at the railway crossings) it'd even snap you out of a trance! But the commuter trains that pass through my town, on the other hand, don't make as much noise.

I love this. The hippie falling out of the chair is just classic and hilarious.
I remember looking at some of the people and thinking "now how could anyone sleep that way? Wouldn't the anxiety/noise keep you up?"
The funny part is that I've become one of those people who could sleep through a tornado. If they make a third version, they can come here for footage of me grumbling at the alarm clock and ignoring four wakeup calls before giving in and getting up, though it's not as peaceful. ;)

Everybody Eats, Everybody Sleeps! Same tune, different lyrics, yet two of the many Raposo memories that come back to me and make me feel a quarter-century younger!

I have been going back to the old Sesame Street film ci\lips on youtube, and I was hoping to find this. Thank you for uploading this. Brings back some old but pleasant memories. Kids these days are missing out on the good stuff of what we use to watch on t.v.

As long as he wakes up and can swim, he'll be fine. The 90's remake had a girl sleeping in the pool.
