This is great! Biff (the construction worker) calls him Johnny Flash. Oscar called him Johhny Trash....

[0o0MaJestic0o0]

I could of just walked to the pool to see whats 5 feet.

[jamesstafforduk]

Forget his singing voice (great as it is), I could just listen to Mr. Cash talk.

[hiphopandrock]

Lovely that the innocence of sesame street can turn a song about natural disaster into a sweet counting boxes song, LONG LIVE BIFF

Ps I don't care that I'm 18 and watching this, it still makes me happy

[drevsdre9]

@hiphopandrock

no doubt - I'm 36!

[opendtuning]

[FLHKSBonYT]

[aikigeorge3]

[johnvdm13]

[annaspanna123]

Biff must be about 2 foot tall. How did he reach that high?

[adames999]

That mofo can't measure. I know those boxes are bigger than me.

[pily8309]

he was messing with him, thats why he called him biff

[16cking]

Whos Biff?

[tommyprks]

Johnny was a very nice person after all he went trough with drugs and what not he was still a good person i wish i could've met him

[zyxgreg723xyz]

[TheDeanmartinfan1]

@TheMattBissell you cant swim in flood water. its not a very good idea

[ronaykeren]

did JC always said "you know ?" on the end of his sentences ??

[bagelguy520]

2:07 Playing the guitar with his mind.

[makavelli035]

I guess it's about 1980

[ronaykeren]

lol lol ROFLMAO

[chasemonson]

There should be a japanese translation of this.

[SirSharon]

@chasemonson HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[jameskuhnel]

out of 6.6 billion people in the world why do 18 of them dislike johhny cash and sesame street! wtf

[BigTfav]

What an absolute legend the bloke, he makes me want to count boxes done by a puppet again lol

[bouldercrotch]

1:42 no hands?!!?

[LostPlanetPC]

@bouldercrotch

Man. That's my kinda guy.

[Draganflyer]

@bouldercrotch

Sort of defines "air guitar" eh?

[markurgh]

@bouldercrotch That's Johnny Cash, dude! He can do it

[WayHighChevy]

@bouldercrotch yah strings dont need to move either

[shezgul]

@bouldercrotch

epic playing he doesn't need his hands :D

[kawaiiSweden]

@bouldercrotch Yep, ol' John is simply magical! xD

[Teobi1]

Biff used to crack me up ^_^

[ididcramsmom]

@Teobi1- Me too!  Kind of funny that I turned into him when I grew up (never saw it coming)!!

[ThibaudMitter794]

Dowwnload the audio from this song at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[mickdead]

17 people drowned in that 5-foot flood!

[PavePaws]

How tall is that puppet, mama?

We'll he's 2 feet high and rising.

If I angle the camera and don't show you his feet,

well then he's 6 foot 2 and rising! :)

If the boxes were on the bench, it's actually about 6.5 feet high.

[conker2756]

"Hey, McFly!"

[PavePaws]

@conker2756:

George McFly: Uh... now Biff, I want make sure that we get two coats of wax this time. Not just one.

Biff Tannen: Just finishing up the second coat now.

George McFly: Now Biff, don't con me!

Biff Tannen: I-I'm-I'm sorry, Mr. McFly. I-I meant I was just starting on the second coat.

George McFly: Ahh... Biff. What a character. Always trying to get away with something.

[mdifranco7]

2:31 he is so good he only needs one hand to play

[PavePaws]

@mdifranco7:

Johnny Cash was the original NEO...

Johnny: What are you trying to tell me? That I can play guitar?

Morpheus: No, Johnny. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

[ajferet]

He isn't wearing black!

[STrepp4]

Biff "You should learn to swim if the water is that high"

That's right John!

[nusdorfer]

note right at the beginning: "how high is the water papa, SHE said..."

[kaustin6]

@nusdorfer the she is his mother replying

[stewiedude59]

One of his songs was used in the launch trailer for Splinter Cell Conviction.

[annikee59]

This is a good, calm way for kids to learn about things like floods as well as measure. No "red alert everybody panic" BS. It's another thing that happens in life. You deal with it.

[Booneboone100]

My dad met him

[jeryl1968]

the muppets and johnny cash ? it doesnt get anybetter then this jim henson and johnny cash "rip" bless their souls to funny 

[Nazdaq05]

Anybody else always try to see if you can see the puppeteers arm when your watching the muppets?....28 years and havent seen one yet! Jim Henson was the king!

[BaggiFCZ]

"aren't you Johnny flash?" "ehhmm no, no more ... ^^"

[mikeowner2]

johnney pown all singers

[supertrommler]

Well, that´s really cool... Really cool...

[funfabmegan]

Johnny cash..one of the fathers of country music..He was all class..I like to listen to him talk. He had a really nice voice.

[angelialvares]

Wow. i hadn't heard this song by Cash. It's got the johnny Cash magic in it all right!

Thanks for posting it.

[Spyflugan91]

@theoscar909 Oh one more thing. Johnny Cash is unique. Justin Bieber was born into this world of bubble gum-pop shit that every damn teenager loves nowadays. He has nothing against Johnny Cash. I know from fact that Justin Bieber even uses his alter ego, "Bieber Cash" (laughing). One of his biggest inspirations are in fact Johnny Cash. You love Justin Bieber? I don't give a damn, but just don't spit it out on a Johnny cash video, cuz you won't find any Bieber fans in here..

[theateradic]

it seems these people from sesame street never get his name right, or maybe they just want to hear him say his name :)

[Shpandee]

wow he changes the pitch of his voice somewhere in the middle

[uglymoon78]

@Shpandee actually, with every new verse

[ManofDuty224]

17 people are gayyyyy. (no affence)

[ManofDuty224]

17 people died in that flood

[Jok3er271]

you cant have sesame street show without johnny cash in there.

[RedArmyRanter]

best celebrity guest ever! simples

[oakXXIII]

11 12

[oakXXIII]

for longevity, sesame street is consistently the coolest show on television...diverse cast...unexpected artists...all showing love to kids...i love this show and i have for 35 years...

ps...nothing beats the pinball 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...

[Spilchuk]

@peterpamanez it says no parking

[TheJuggalotommy]

[nugschmidt]

@TheJuggalotommy ich denke es war 1982

[Dzhudgashvili]

If those boxes are 1' high, i'm a midget!

[tamelamcghee]

@Dzhudgashvili lol....I would bet my "home made boat" on it...those boxes are most likely truly 12 in ( 1 ft) in measurement.....lollol..gotta love Sesame street.....surely some one with cyber expertiiizzeeee can gain a birds eye view accurate measurement???..LOL !!!!

[tamelamcghee]

hee hee...."you should learn to swim if the water gets that high"...LOL....true enough!

[Ty360co]

5 bucks says he played cocaine blues behind the scenes

[bmoney2011]

@Ty360co and then he actually did cocaine. O.o.

[Ty360co]

@bmoney2011 kinda thought tht was implide but ok

[TheElissaS]

@Ty360co $5.00 everyone asked Johnny Cash to play it

[Cupcake96x3]

omg he is a magican :D he can play although he isnt touching his guitar :D

[minnela]

I really like Johnny but... he doesn't seem to happy to be on seseme street. It was nice of him though.

[Shirokinukatsukami]

@bigmathafaka

[Kliffy77]

OMG

[Jamesscalise]

Haha those look a little higher than a foot each :P

[erikjames47]

that purple dude sounds like the crazy store owner from "falling down"

[ficusss]

Johnny cash > chuck norris

[diestroduende]

@ficusss chuck norris + charles bronson = Johnny Cash

[tmoney73455sd1]

@ficusss 2 favorites in this house...right on

[Psychowilly]

Was Biff in the "Waste Management" business as well?

[Lman94]

@Psychowilly I think he's actually in the car waxing business.

[ecw45840]

he looks different without black on especially light blue johnny was the best he will be missed and his music will carry on forever

[1kissbee]

wow biff's life has certainly gone down hill since working for the mcflys

[thehomefront]

all he's songs sound the fucking same, he cant even play a little solo on he's guitar

[Imal00ter20]

@thehomefront He was high for 70% of his adult life, give him a break.

[Imal00ter20]

@thehomefront He was high for 70% of his adult life, give him a break.

[Imal00ter20]

@thehomefront He was high for 70% of his adult life, give him a break.

[Imal00ter20]

@thehomefront He was high for over half of his adult life, give him a break.

And develop a taste in music while you're at it.

[alimreast]

awesome

[alimreast]

awesome

[alimreast]

awesome

[theamazingsupergirl]

hehe cash acts like he's really talking to a guy he just met...not a puppet. :-)

[avidviewer67]

@theamazingsupergirl That's the magical thing about the Muppets, theamazingsupergirl. Even though the performers are sitting on the floor in plain sight of the celebrity, he/she forgets that they're there and ends up talking to the character as if they really are someone they already know or have only just met. Always remember: as far as the children watching the show are concerned, the characters are *real*.

[taylerfxgirl3]

country elvis

[Sanitoeter666]

Haha i love that the guitar keeps playin when he moves his hand away to gesture ;)

[Alex16993]

@Sanitoeter666 There are a few guitars playing in background. Johnny's only playing one of them. ;)

[MisterMojoJojojo]

@Sanitoeter666 That's because Johnny Cash was magical and could play with his mind.

[Korban3]

@Sanitoeter666 That simply indicates that Johnny Cash was capable of more magic than Chuck Norris.

[Boom1chaching]

@Sanitoeter666 if u cant tell theres like 5 stringed instruments playing XD

[susanshelit]

@Sanitoeter666 actually, it doesn't ^^. The guitar that keeps playing is the electric one. The accoustic high strings stop. Check it again;)

[hbkdetroit]

@Sanitoeter666

johnny's just playing rhythm.. the slow steady beat. the lead guitarist is either recorded or off camera. it's hard to tell when he flashes the 2 because he wasn't really playing, but you can notice his part stop and start for the 3.

[PavePaws]

@Sanitoeter666:

Kids aren't watching for continuity issues. They don't even know who Johnny Cash is!

[Sanitoeter666]

@PavePaws I'm not a Kid and I'm watching, lawyered :D

[ridecostarica]

who's that stacking boxes, Frank Rizzo?

[CyviVitoria]

the guitar is AWESOME <3

[DarthTacko]

@CyviVitoria i have the same guitar but from HB

[CyviVitoria]

@DarthTacko

Woah Man! Ur lucky =D

[DarthTacko]

@CyviVitoria thx

Probably not, it has only cost $ 50

[foofighting101]

One of the greatest musicians of all time, and also some guy with a guitar.

[jimmytic]

R.I.P

He is good songs

[arnaldohanatarashi]

@jimmytic - and you is good engrish

[MultiMrsmiley]

@arnaldohanatarashi ppffft! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!! XD

[laserstun]

This is unbelievable. Sesame Street always had great talent on the show. How did we go from this absolute gold standard of a moment to the Teletubbies in less than one generation?

[jimmieskaggs]

RIP Johnny cash

[Jellybeaner1991]

awesome!

[YSlimbo]

At to 2:30 you can see that he doesn´t play itself. It´s Playback ^^ 

[monili33]

@YSlimbo es genial igual 

[mclovin30000]

@YSlimbo good job spotting that. i never would of noticed

[boofdfast]

What happened to Biff and Sully? Man, I miss the 70's Sesame Street. I like them and Roosevelt Franklin. Bring back OLD SCHOOL Sesame Street. Oh yeah, Johnny Cash look so YOUNG. lol

[haitipi]

Proof Positive that he was and is still a class act. Who cares about Broadway after you've been on Sesame Street.

[Bernardojoo]

This man has a unique and a magnificent voice. We miss him so much

[Nursesaids]

Anyone else notice that the construction worker is voiced by Launchpad from Ducktales?

[greenthumbgrow]

thats high!

[abqwriter]

You knew you made the big time whenever you were on Sesame Street!! teerific!

[JIMMIPAIGE]

this is graet

[Blackhawk1913]

15 dislikes WTF.

[ROFLKRASNODAR]

@Blackhawk1913 just 15missclicks :P

[Banjox189]
