  • everyone back then was slim and in shape, and bare in mind there were no diets and gyms shoved down our throats....you guys want to know why everyone is fat and overweight...you are being poisoned - the food and water you drink is killing you!

  • I love grouch

  • furst guy has sideburns like lupin

  • I absolutely love this tune!!!!!

  • at 3:11 I always liked that guy. Whatever happened to him on the show?

  • @neocryptz His real name was Will Lee. He played Mr. Hooper who owned the store. He died in the 80's, and instead of saying that Mr. Hooper moved away or something, they added that to the Sesame Street story. It's heart wrenching, but they had the courage to discuss death.

  • @vampirealdys wow i didn't know that he was Mr. Hooper. i remember when he died. i've got a little baby girl a week old and once she's ready for tv sesame street is at the top of the list!

  • what was the guys name who ran the store?

  • @Cuteblondie1972 Thank you.

  • That's how I describe songs when I'm tring to tell someone a song I like

  • I remember watching this episode on tv when I was little. So many memories are flooding back. THis was the good Sesame Street before the Co$ took over and ruined everything.

  • aren't they already singing the name? O.o

  • Nice sideburns, dude.

  • this is from the year i was born 1974.. i'm feelin real old now watching this w/ my 1 yr old..

  • The first guy has a nice voice & is handsome. The lady with the long hair looks like a young Halle Berry.

  • Sesame Street is the best TV for kids ever!

  • how old is this video

  • @caballerastral

    This video has to be at least 25 years old. Because it has Mr. Hooper in it. And he died in 1982. And the sideburns are the old style in mid to late 70's. And the gentleman that plays the Gordon started sometime around 1978. So I hope that helps you with a time line. And I used to watch it from the very beginning.

  • It's closer to 40. It's from 1974, the year Roscoe Orman started playing Gordon.

  • 31 people don't know the name of that song

  • This was before my time... I grew up with Forgetful Jones singing it. ^_^

  • thats a skinny george lopez xD

  • @Cuteblondie1972 Yes I did. I never watched the American version of Sesame street and did not know her. She's cute.

  • i love how at the end everyone else leaves him and he keeps on singing, and also why does oscar live in a trash can

  • For some reason I really want to see the Daily Show correspondents sing a version of this song.

  • @JDV79 haha is it because the guy in this video looks a bit like Wyatt Cenac?

  • @PiecesOfRainbow7 Yeah that's it haha.

  • the name of that song it's: What's The Name Of That Song!! ... o_O that's the name!!

  • its vary funny

  • Man, they have almost everyone I remember here. Olivia probably hadn't been added to the cast yet.

  • Mr. HOOPER is in his store? Oh my goodness, talk about a blast from the past! Love it!

  • @torontonian1978 That's right! I even had moments in my childhood that weren't great. I was in a fire at 4 yrs. old & was seriously burned (don't worry, I made a complete recovery) but even in that situation, I still had fond memories & Sesame Street was one of them.
