I had forgotten all about this until I was watching it with my 2 yr old and I'm singing every word like it was yesterday that I heard it for the first time! Wow brings back pure childhood memories!
That is soo weird, I do not remember any sing alongs in sesame street. At least I am enjoying them now. I seriously love "I don't want to live on the moon" singed by Ernie and shawn colvin, "What I am" by Will.I.am and "Bones song" by count von count. I missed so much!
i wasnt really paying attention to the actual video while this was playing at Ernie's laugh at 2:49 scared me a bit haha.. i had totally forgotten it sounded like that
Jim Henson, and this song are the reason why i do the things I do now. What an absolutely wonderful song. I look forward to the day I can share it with my children.
@videogamenostalgia: Well, how you spend your time is up to you once your work is done, you know. But, if you have responsibilities, you have to abide by them first and foremost.
I can't get the song Imagine by John Lennon out of my head when I watch this... "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" when Ernie looks out the window....
kids today will be saying the same thing when they get older about what their kids are listening...its kinda sad to let these things go. but it really is a natural thing.
Oh lord... I remember trying to sing this song when I was little... but it went too fast for my little babycheeks.... *snickers* It must've been so cute to see me try so hard to keep up...
love this song so much.. I used to always watch it when I was younger. Now that I am older I understand why I liked it...It showed me that I can imagine being other things but the best thing I can be is me!
You're so definitely right...I'm 22 now and that's one thing I learned from Sesame Street - to dream and imagine. Sesame Street was my show and this was my favourite song. Thank you Sesame Street for the best years of my life and happy 40th Anniversary!!
hahaha i really ernies songs..."sometimes i imagine what i will like to be" as adults do we still imagine? its a bit sad really............sing on ernie!!!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Before the rat race. When unicorns and dragons were REAL. Before mental enslavment. They wonder why I loathe society. Sometimes I imagine, a world without money. Without bills, without Ernie! Imagine that!
I miss classic Sesame Street songs like these. I feel like Sesame Street in its current form isn't as creative (or as educational, sadly). I'll never be able to raise my daughter in the world she really lives in.
please check out the show on our channel if you like sesame street I think you'll enjoy it
