I think the Old School Elmo looked better than he does now because he was scruffier and had a classical muppet trippiness. When Jimmy tragically died and Elmo was from there on shown as a major character, he lost his individuality and became just a sickly sweet character.
I have the cassette tape that had some songs from this show and this was one of them. I remember listening to the cassette nearly everyday whenver me and mom are in the car xD
Wow . . . I have not seen this in at least 15 years; this was on the "Best Of Elmo" VHS. My aunt would play it for my little cousins whenever we'd be at my Grandma's house.
I love Ernie. I act just like him in EVERY way. I used to share a room with my big brother and every night I would tell him i was "THIIIIIIIIRSTY!!" Lol.
@bglover11 i think it's even earlier than that, probably around 1988 or 1989, because jim henson is performing ernie in this sketch, and elmo was introduced around this time :)
I love how sesame street is always so musical and peaceful. If the real world were like that then there would be no wars, controversial issues, telemarketers, or even drunk people.
Whoever you are, you made me cry! This was truly very sweet. These cartoons were so amazing! Thanks to youtube for existing and thanks to you for posting this! I wish they had cartoons like these...they sing, teach interact with kids..it's so wonderful..wish they would air them but they don't. Thanks for taking me to memory lane! GOD BLESS YOU! :o)
when i was little i always tried to point to each part of the face when he summarized what was on "one fine face" but could never do it. i tried it today and i failed again. haha
sesame makes me miss being little. i'll always watch sesame street. even when i'm 50! i wish all sesame movies and stuff was on dvd. my tapes are sooo old they barely work! :( I LOVE SESAME STREET!!!
Ohhh, how can you talk that way about poor Elmo? I understand where you're going with this, but I absolutely loved Elmo when I was little. In fact, I still do.
This song was on Elmo's Sing-Along Guessing Game, but even though I watched it, I didn't think I remembered this. But I think it all started to come back to me once I got a little further, and then I thought, "Ohh, I think I heard that somewhere!"
I don't understand why they don't air this one on today's show. It may be 25 years old, but kids love Elmo and Ernie so much I think it'd be a great hit.
OMFG this had me laughing in 15 seconds, I never realized but Elmo seems totally wasted. It's like Ernie is singing this cute song for kids and his drunk buddy stumbled onto the set and tried to sing along
This must have been a freaking great day for Kevin Clash.
Him and Jim Henson just performing a song, he must have been high on adranalin.
