Classic Sesame Street - gathering coconuts

[afriendofbean]

I never knew that when coconuts grow on trees that they have leaves growing around them looking like the one at 0:17.

[muzikman183]

kid's got balls.. couldn't get me up there.. of course i didnt think that when i was younger

[Mikeunderscore]

I remember wanting a machete as a child.

[loraine20tt]

I rememeber trying to climb a coconut when I was little because of this guy, boy did I fail :D , good memories.

[browneyedgirl618]

anyone else try to climb a tree like that?

[LeftSock06]

As a kid, I tried climbing trees as high as I could go because I was imitating this boy.

[CattyNebulart]

YES! Coconut boy!

[RetroGirl85]

wow.. i remember this when i was a litle girl. i always thought it was cool the way the kid got up the tree like that. i miss classic sesame street

[afriendofbean]

I also thought that it looked cool how the boy climbed up the coconut tree very well. Maybe he's been practicing a lot climbing trees and/or he climbs trees always where he has no trouble slipping or sliding down while going up or, maybe as he's climbing up the tree, there's probably some things on the trunk of the tree that he's stepping on and holding onto which is probably making it easy for him to climb up.

pick one 4me please! love it..

[ascohn]

I remember thinking how amazing it was that this kid could climb a tree like that--I'm even more impressed now, in my thirties! And he wields a machete--that's one tough kid!

[flamedame007]

this is absulutly wonderful. old sesame street WAS my childhood. i feel sorry for kids grown up today.

[audgeyp]

Yeah, nothing compares to the old, classic Sesame Street. Even though it's still on, it's like a whole different show and not for the better.

[Pikachuiscool]

BTW, Did Joe Rapaso compose this music?

[Pikachuiscool]

Love this cool music. ^_^

[accrajoe]

Coconut milk comes from dried coconuts, not the freshly picked, green coconuts shown here. The kid is drinking coconut water, which tastes damn good.

Coconut water from the can just doesn't compare.

[Mommy246]

Holy F_! Whenever I see coconuts I think of this song! For the past 25 years!

[koala371]

When i eac coco nut like mounds candybar i think of this clip.

[cdkreturns]

I remember wanting to drink coconut milk after watching this!

[tmsan74]

i remember watching this! thanks for posting!

[mkduyba]

anyone remember the skit when the little boy is playing on the beach with all the tide pools??? if so, know how to get it???

[jojito26]

That is one dangerous piece of object sicking out of the ground!

I don't think I'll have something like that in my backyard where my kids horse play.

[cstar88]

Hell yes. This video made me proud to be Caribbean. Fresh Coconuts :)

[brightbite]

Awesome. I keep hearing all about the health benefits of coconut, but the closest I ever came to coconut was the awful sugared stuff in the bag.

[MistressRhea]

I always remembered this one because I was all o_O;;;

"Coconuts aren't greeen!!" as a kid x3

[StoogeAtHeart]

I'd hate to be a coconut around this kid! Memorable clip.

[tubricant]

Mezmorizing when I was four. Mezmorizing now.  I refuse to grow up.

[bluenotes1981]

me 2

[Paigeshusband]

Kettle drums and this one bring me back. But I had one of those coconuts and it's not like the coconut that we're used to in the States.

[bennyraven]

I have no idea what the music is really called, or who wrote it, but when I was about three I made up lyrics to the song. Ever since, in my family, the music has been known as "Cornucopia Hat." (I was three. Logic played no part.)

[cubestarlove]

Wow I haven't seen that in about 12 years!

[mtem]

Yet another Sesame Street video I'd completely forgotten, but the music brings it right back - can anyone identify the music? I love it.

[Didodiva]

This one must have had staying power, I remember it very clearly and I was born in 1981. I also remember the steel drum skit too. They used that one often.

I'm amazed they'd use that footage. I can just see some kid climbing up an apple tree, throwing down an apple, and trying to open it by sticking it on a big knife. "But Mom, this kid on Sesame Street did it with a coconut!"

[tonewinwy]

This was one of my favs. Thanks for sharing.

[goldenagenut]

I liked this one,always remembered it from the 70s, reminds me of the Cayes in Belize, but the steel drum vid was great! I knew someone would mention the machete, we're so overprotected in the states, especially kids! lol

[pokinsmot]

wow that kids got some skills... there are so many moments in there that i would have killed or seriously injured myself... and im talking about now, when im 23... if i were his age, i probably would have made it up the tree only to fall on the stake and roll over on to the machete...

[NecroticCadaver]

LOL!!! thats hilarious.

i bet this kid has calluses of steel.

[theproudflip]

I greatly remember this one. I hope sawing14s will upload a clip about how to make kettle drums. c",)

[Brinah]

I am proud to be from the West Indies(Trinidad) and I must say that this clip brings back awesome memories! Mmm, I could go for some fresh coconut milk with jelly!

[jenna528]

Me too, Speeta! Love the steel drum skit. As for this one, let's make a game out of naming all of the perilously dangerous things this child is doing....

[speeta]

I'm dying to find the one where 2 city kids find a steel oil drum and bring it to a guy from Trinidad who makes a musical steel drum out of it.

[MacLeaper]

I remember this one quite well- reminds me of home in the Caribbean. Fresh coconut milk and jelly are great on a hot day! :-)

[sosaix]

AT LAST!  This is one I've been pining after for years. Thanks so much!!!

[Lectronimo]

Hey, careful with that machete!

[RBCMLR33]

I remember this one. Great video!

[MuppetDude]

Ah, great memories brought back. I love the music!

[AnnitheDiva]

Oh, I remember this one!
