What I want to know is.......where can I find this as a ringtone for my cell?? Imagine all the heads whipping around when it goes off, heh heh...... ;-)
i looked this up because i wanted to know where the band "menomena" got its name, this is great insperation:) this just shows sesame street sticks with you all your life even though i walk around singing this all the time and everyone wants to shoot me.....its so worth it. MENOMENA. :)
my favorite sesame street song. i cannot count the number of times i have found myself singing this to myself. it is almost as calming as halfway down the stairs.
I remember this from watching Sesame Street during my childhood, many years ago. It brings back a lot of memories. This skit is classic, and I still love it as much now as I did when I was a kid, and it makes me laugh more now than it did then. They don't make children's shows like that anymore.
this is marvelous. 'menomena' is a nonsense word, but it must have some associations with regular words, right? with 'phenomena' perhaps? or what else?
This is, quite seriously, a masterpiece of comic timing. Every movement and gesture, every stop-start, every exit and entrance is *perfect*. I could watch this 20 times at a go and still marvel. The contrast between the freaky little dude and the cute little girls is brilliant. Me gushing like this isn't. I'm done.
I find it hilarious that well educated people below are debating on this thread! It's a Muppety masterpeice... Who gives a rats arse about the real world when this is playing? All read orbit1inc's comment...! Then you may have an understanding of the true depth of this song!
This is not shit. This is a classic Sesame Street skit. The expressions on the girl's face when the little guy goes off is worth the time spent watching. Not to mention that serious mono-brow. Anyway, this is probably where the band 'Menomena' got its name!!
I live in Portland, and the Muppets etymology is widely known and is old news. Plus every reference reports that he stated what you're putting forth sarcastically or jokingly.
Even though those two words can be combined to create "menomena" (and why not "menomenon"?), do you really think they would've come up with it without having heard the Muppets song first? Look up "Occam's Razor" before you answer.
first off, "occam's razor" has nothing to do with the topic we're discussing, you religious zealot.
and secondly, knopf said it in ONE interview so there's no "every reference", but just ONE reference. which was in TEXT, so even if he did say it "sarcastically" good luck trying to pull that expression out of black and white.
btw, way to go and argue with a 2 month old comment.
if you watch (or read) any interview with them, you'll see that they don't take interviews seriously at all. They have also gone on record saying that it's "man enema"
Occam's razor is a method of examining theories, and has nothing to do with religious beliefs other than it's great at discrediting them. Your ignorance is vast, and your conclusions stupid: I'm an atheist.
BTW, I don't give a rat's ass that my comments aren't immediate. I don't spend much time on YT, and your comments are still misinformed.
Trivia from an ol' guy: When Jim Henson first did this on Ed Sullivan show, etc., the characters were weird abstract fur balls/tube things -- before the Muppet characters.
The original music is from an Italian soft sex documentary!
You have read the chant of Osiris, a demon that possessed a little girl name Melanie Woodward in 1912. The demon itself will appear as the little girl in your room at exactly 12 at midnight tonight unless you repost this message on 4 other videos
