Sesame Street - Sing Your Synonyms

[originalcynn]

hailing from the bahamas!!! nostalgia!!

[Lenna646]

Awwww.... child hood memories! I remember watching and dancing to this with my sisters and when it came to Bob the statue, we would go ARGHHHHH.. its alive.. and runaway... lol.. best memories!

[Marbles471]

This is how it would have happened if I had been in the museum that day:

Bob statue: "A ball can be a circle..."

Me: "AAAHHHH!!!!"

XD

[jbnumiz]

Very diverse cast! We have the Hispanic Couple, the Black Couple, and then there's that White Guy holding the globe.

[lemondragon18]

short day at the museum

[lemondragon18]

maria reminds me so much of carla from scrubs

[owenreyes]

so bob has abs. he he he...

[Indigo656]

Whats another word for synonym?

[JulieAndrewsIsMyHero]

Wow, I totally remember this segment!!!

[Samoaqueen]

those shoulder pads are killing me >_<

[astridkitty1212]

Is Bob bodypainted to look like a statue? I'm the biggest face and body painting fan around where I live. How did they create Bob's statue costume? If it's paint then he is as cool as all the other painted Old School stars, such as Big Bird painted blue, Coco the mime and Judy Graubart with her face painted as the mad scientist's fiend.

[TheUndermoose]

This happened to me one time.

[sha8808]

been looking for this! :)

[CC927]

Luis & Maria were so cute together!

[archedmandible]

Man, I've been trying to find the one with Kermit interviewing the painter who painted splotches.

"I call it... Chicken Soup."

[Garrettk41]

@archedmandible It's available on youtube. Only that was Biff, not Kermit.

Mona Lisa Telly: What A Shame It All Means The Same Thing, there Is No Reason To Make A Scene

[mcht50202]

[rlbluver]

[jacktojack69]

Nope, definitely Susan.

[mcht50202]

@rlbluver no... it's susan...

[beauferret]

one thing i luv about the old videos is the human actors got more skits to do

[spiked200]

Poor Bob having do an Atlas impression I bet his arms fell off after the bit was over.

[ShereKhanTiger]

Atlas shrugged... lol

[1985Nebraska]

I remember this. It's been 20 years since the last time I saw this classic Sesame Street segment.

[katwomanjulie]

I sing this to myself all the time when I am trying to sound intelligent on papers.

I feel so old.

[ShereKhanTiger]

I found your comment odd and I was going to say something to kindof make fun of you, but then the video played, and the song got stuck in my head, and now I understand you.

[Renwerx]

This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Second only to the Elephant Elevator Operator.

[Nightmastercool97]

I love this skit because i remember it when i was a little kid plus it was the first time i learned that many words can have the same meaning as other words.

[sallychew]

I'm sure Gordon was very pleased to have hair again, at least for a lil while. This vid sure is a classic, favourite, timeless. Whatever it is, it's the bomb diggity!

[tirbnyll45]

wow look at bob! haha

[sallychew]

Wow the make-up job they did on Bob is really good!

[FREEASTHESTARS]

i love this

[ShaniaKoukla]

I love this! Thanks for adding!

[cambryn]

oh my god! this is one of my faves! I remember the statue just being my fave part!

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

This is from the 1987-1988 Season. The "Maria and Luis'' Season, as I call it.

[ginaandsavionfan39]

1940's to 80's

[MsTexas73]

1930s...Sonia is an Astaire/Rogers fan....and they sang this in one of their movies...I THINK it's Shall We Dance.

[urdwekstlinkgbye]

I like thier other skit too

the ballroomesque skit~ say Hola instead of Hello

[Quidam]

This totally brings me back!

[akbleiweiss]

this would be me and my boyfriend kip but we might argue in the museam

[cinnaporn]

omg i remember this!!! :D

[geniusthadon]

this is the redefinition of classic. late 80s

[darlingzooloo]

I bet you this secretly had an impact on my future desision to be an Artist. XD In more ways then one! I definatly want to go to a muesum and preform this skit with someone now!

[quizmaster85]

And a rare moment in history, when Elmo says "I" instead of "Elmo"!

[youtookmynamebiotch]

HURRAY! I haven't been able to find this until now! Thanks! :D

[degrassibabetjk]

Oh, my God, I remember this sketch! Thanks for uploading!

[DiAnno13]

Quite good, considering it's from the later years. I Louvre it!

[DiAnno13]

Is there another word for synonym?

[dorsey43]

Haha, I've been searching for this every few weeks! Finally.

[Lurkerbunny]

God this freaked me out when I was a kid.

[wfd57fatman]

Lesson here folks... absolutely no L.S.D. prier to art gallery visits, please!

[arfies]

I remember this!! Bob as the statue really stuck with me. I love these classy song-and-dance skits like this and "Hola"- Maria and Luis are such a cute couple! I wish the cast did more things like this.

[heyheyheydude]

It's a shame that nowadays Susan's not in any skits on SS.

[kidsmtvslv]

That was fun with Elmo.

[efil4own1]

Bob is really a good sport!

[HeyButtahfly]

LOL! I love the look on Luis and Maria's faces when the faces in the picture suddenly smile and open their eyes! I definitely remember this one!

[FizzyDrink]

It's great to finally see this video again! Bob's solo was the only part of the song that stuck with me.

[wattamack4]

I like the bit with Gordon and Susan.

[jaegemm]

..I remember this! :) Thanks for uploading.

[ISNorden]

If only Sesame Street could've kept showing intelligent humor like this...five stars!

[uraniumdeath]

You are not the only one! Once Jim went, the show imploded and became terrible. The show is now just an advertising promo for Elmo really. Little bastard makes me puke!

[DRUMMERMAN77]

i hear that, jim abhored selling out to commerialism, hence he did his own versions of it instead of elmo machines

[Marbles471]

I don't think it was that quick. Henson's death did have an effect, but not a drastic one---at least not right away. The show went on being pretty much the way it had always been for about eight more years--it was the 1998 season that was the real turning point. And until then Elmo was cool, since he was just another character.

However, if Henson were still around, I imagine wouldn't have toned himself down so much for the show's new approach.

[cosmowanda868]

I'm sure everyone thought that Elmo's "15 minutes of fame" should've been over long ago.

[colleen4ever]

Hear, Hear!!!
