[BajuAchiba]

I used to run around my grandma's house with my cousins singing this

[goremi123]

I used to have this tape, and one about learning to count. they were both creepy, looking back....but i learned my abcs and 123s :D

[Smartboy8877]

@goremi123

Well, I guess if you learned something, it was all for the best

[goremi123]

@Smartboy8877 hehehe yeah

[OSixx]

[TheBoomerKuwanger]

A t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tarantula, is crawling across the T's!

That was the scariest for me because of the face of the tarantula's freakin' face.

[ztrawhcsg]

I created this music video for The Children's Television Workshop with a technique called paper cutout collage. Shot this in 35mmm under an Oxberry animations stand.

[natsmilez]

How i learned my ABC´s :)

[sammyxx279]

ahh memories...

[WorldChallenge]

"and R is running away"

LOL

[KBAFourthtime]

When did this segment first air?

[KBAFourthtime]

@KBAFourthtime Never mind. 1992.

[Smartboy8877]

@KBAFourthtime

The same year that the late Olivia Goldsmith wrote her first novel. It was called "The First Wives Club". Many of you might remember the movie that was based on the book.

[candiiapple84]

lmao @ the ones that say this scared them!!! ctfu!!! #laughofthenight



[AssassinShadow4]

THIS USED TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME AS A KID O_O

[aquateensown]

[Kuroobi5]

LOL sorry for your dream. Thnx for posting this ^-^

[police8595]

Which video does this come from?

[Mermaid1517]

@police8595 "Do the Alphabet"

[bigmarv4life2006]

Its has a nice beat...

[CockMyRasbah]

I was shit scared of this.

[PatrickRsGhost]

I seem to remember a different singer singing the song, like a woman, probably with an African accent.

[TheSapphireEmpress96]

It's so nice to know that I'm not the only one who was scared silly by this video. And the poor letter "q"!

[Pinkberrythecat]

That was a scary song

[MrsHerrickBecker]

This video traumatized me as a child....and to this day, it scares me...

[gtaexplode]

This just bought back child hood fears o.o

[grobby138]

trippy

[corjonbett]

The letter S is shivering because of what it sees:

A t-t-t-t-t-t-tarantula is crawlin' `cross the Ts!

[gameshowluvr86]

@corjonbett I don't blame that S one bit! Lol...

[BarnacleGooseInvalid]

funny, i'm here because i just HAD a weird dream with it 

[azaraangelwings11]

This song used to scare me when I was a baby :-)

[Zazen777]

My son is 9 months old. He LOVES this song and goes into a trance watching the video. They show old re-runs of this sometimes and I got it on a VHS tape now. I wish I could find the song on itunes for him.

[ProfessorGigs]

a t-t-t-t-t-t-t- tarantuala is crawling cross the t's!

[GoddessOfCrimsonSand]

This segment used to scare me so much.

[pokemon5621]

thiz iz better than that moon and the other crazy animals those fairy stuff

[SuperDuperSonicSpeed]

This brings back soooooooo many memories. I remember being scared of this but I liked it too

[MayhemII]

Ahhh I've been looking for this for years, the girl and the end where you only saw their eyes was always so scary!!!

The song's actually pretty unsettling as well, what were they thinking? :P

[jerlani7629]

this little girl scared me for months

[ThePinkettes]

OMG I remember watching this on tape!

[cgsilverscreen2020]

I remember this!  It used to scare me lol. I think it came out in '94, so i had to be...3. XD

[taeyangJR]

@cgsilverscreen2020

haha i know wat u mean, my big sis used to tease me!

[chickencharles93]

I used to hav this video!OMG, i miss the old(er) Sesame Street!

[Smartboy8877]

@chickencharles93

I agree with you! I think that "Sesame Street" has really gone downhill over the past decade or so!

[Kidsmtvslvback]

This is just what I remember.

[XXVivaLaVidaBellaXX]

the end with the screen blacking out n only their eyes showing was so creepy n weird to me when i was a kid lol i was so scared

[Cathleigh]

I loved this! Thanks for uploading, great memories :)

[Tonytambe]

Oh My God I Cant Remember One Of These

[NiMBuKun25]

i remember this, but it was really creepy, and the X part is like hard on the eyes

[Jennafu832]

I remember the W's coming down the waterfall :) oh, and the r "is running away"

[shatinalaresha]

i love this segment of sesame street

i'm glad i grew up with this :o)

[musician4000]

this used to scare me as a child but i was still fascinated by it...i used to hide my eyes at the scary letters especially T and peep at the rest

[Kuroobi5]

@musician4000 Wow....I'm not the only one xD I remember I would quiver at the Rhinoceros right be4 the letter R xD

[SuperSillySmiley]

@musician4000 same!! this used to scare the crap out of me but i would ask my mom to rewind it every time!!!

the eyes at the end scared me the most... >__<

[Smartboy8877]

@musician4000

I used to be scared of the wolf from the "Three Little Pigs" New Flash! I would run out of the room when he would appear!

[BKAllmighty]

Man, did i ever love this segment. They used to show such good ones, but now all they show is new ones. I miss the old stuff dearly.

[mannyhumphrey]

let me take you to the....

[bnatrl88]

lol i remember this!!! was i the only one who used to get excited when the first letter of my name was the letter of the day? lolz...

[ShinyHappyPurple]

My favourite part is "The t-t-t-tarantula is crawling across the T's"

[overloreace]

for a long time i thought the song was called out of the jungle =/

[cgsilverscreen2020]

@overloreace OMG ME TOO!

[loveutoto]

@overloreace When I first heard this, I thought they were singing, "How 'bout the jungle?"

[darkmox1987]

i was only 3 and i still remember.

[keevi84]

My 3 yr old is in love w/this & it was hard to find it on their website........thanks!

[iheartthemaxx]

I loved the letter N best. I had so many dreams about this at night! WHo made the animation here? Was it Jim who also did MJ's "Leave Me Alone?' video? it looks like him. Someone also needs to try and make a catchy remix of this song if possible.

[B44rules]

Roboman sent me

[Ninjamonk343]

yeah the eyes in the jungle creeped me out too.

[keevi84]

I guess they got that memo because they cut the ending short! LOLz @the fact that B talks about a bear roaring but shows a kitten morphing into a tiger!

[gandhi328]

sesame street was totally rockin the 808's in their songs during the 80's

[EEJAI]

lol i remember this! thx 4 posting

[Nockyout]

I finally found this song I haven't seen this for awhile.

[mtude3]

I remember when I was about four, this segment scared me REALLY badly. I was always worrying it would come on whenever I watched Sesame Street; it was terrifying.

Now I don't know what I was afraid of.

[TheSynthExperience]

I know what you mean.

[dubs19842008]

The end of this really creeped me out. It was the eyes in the dark.

[princessangel821]

it's the ending when it's dark n all the eyes r staring at u. it used 2 creep me out 2.

[ConnDevi88]

not to mention the music in general, and the spider.

[shinryakusha]

The background in the beginning is remniscent of "baby got back" somehow... O_o

[TopCat0601]

Cool. This song used to always be stuck in my head.

[luengaga1978]

I remember this one!

[YugiohGirl017]

I used to love this song! this was the real reason I really watched Sesame street!

[AsangaBF]

lol she's white

[ztrawhcsg]

wattamack4,

My students found this Sesame Street video while finishing their animation assigments in class. I designed & directed this video at Klasky Csupo for the Children's Television Network.

It was surprising to revisit this after so long...

ztrawhcsg

[VeeJay92]

Oh yes, I remember this! A 90's Sesame Kid could remember this!

[Shawn200220012000200]

I remember that since way back!

[Dezzy23]

Yea this was one of my favorite alphabet songs from sesame street... Sesame street sucks now, Elmo's cool but does he really need 15 minutes all to himself...

[PinballStewie]

I think this 'toon is the reason I loved the alphabet book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" so much as a kid =)

[UMemberMe64]

Oh, this song used to be cold back then, boi!! Plus, that rappin lil girl had skillz! The next Jay-Z I tell ya!

[RafflesiaPunk]

Oh wow I remember this! I was only a little kid and I grew up calling 'Z' Zee instead of Zed, coz I'm british and they didn't change it for the UK... Got in so much trouble or doing that at Pre-School

[DylanGallagher]

The ending part with the eyes scared me so bad as a kid.

[D489]

LOL! Me 2!

[mtude3]

Word, I commented about that!

The entire cartoon had me terrified.

[Fm7th]

0:52 sounds like "F and G stepped into quicksand, now they're really fucked!"

[jhwink]

It does kind of sound like that!

[kenbob331]

Wow, the early 1990s at its best!

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i didn't understand the snoring letter z when i was little, needless to say i do now

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i've been looking everywhere for this! thank u so much!

[DC41288]

this scared me as a kid

[randomperson4791]

My son, now 15 years old, use to call it "apapetoyo" when he watched it when he was an infant. I've been telling him about it all these years! Now he has seen it again.

[Maestrojosh87]

I would have called it "apapetoyo" too, if I had only seen it! Funny!

[TB4000]

Yes, this scared the shit out of me, mostly the end part where it gets dark and nothing but their eyes....yeesh.

[85grammigirl]

OH YES YES YES! What a classic this is! I miss it SO much! Nice seeing it again!

[carlitosbug]

Was Baby Bear dreaming about Alphabet Jungle?

[supaspydamn]

This was one of my favorites!

But it would kind of creep me out!

[lion371]

No they don't, But still enough to get you away from a alligator b bear c cat d dog and so on and so on.

[jx346]

what do they say about the letter b? & the letter y?

[cvfdfdfdf]

B gives a big bad roar

X marks the spot where Y lies patiently

[jx346]

thank u.

[lion371]

[moatguy]

These animals don,t all live in the same place.

[lion371]

I know some animals, Some you may not know about for each letter.

[onlyyesterdaynow]

I so wanted to see this! Thank you!

[moatguy]

I loved this one. The other one I loved was the Afircan animal alphabet,except T for tiger because they don,t live in Africa.

[glickmam]

They should have Gabi singing this in a street scene.

[heyheyheydude]

Sesame Street was always known for its artsy,(creepy to us)animated segments, even to this day.

[Rkerekes13]

How I remember this! I still know all the words! How I wished I could ride an ostrich! (Like that'll ever happen!)

[FizzyDrink]

Yes I do remember this! For some reason it's scared me just a little.

[davezdragon]

Thank you so much for posting this! I haven't seen this one in a long time.

[WorldChallenge]

Thank you ever so much! What was that at the beginning?

[wattamack4]

Baby Bear sleeping.

[WorldChallenge]

I also had requested this. Thank you again.

[IAmNotAFunguy]

And apparently he was dreaming the sketch.

[jx346]

thank u soooooooo much 4 posting. i remember the ending used 2 scare me alittle bit. (lol)

[raakone]

I agree. One of the better ones from what I think of as the "early shoulder" period 1989-1994. I'm surprised there was no snake for "s."

~Ra'akone

[ISNorden]

One of the best "late" classics--five stars!

[SuperSpaceGirl]

I love this song, can you find A B C D E, there is an egg on my knee.

[ISNorden]

I've got a copy, but it has the Noggin logo (darned Unpaved episodes)...could any tech-savvy YouTubers help us, please?

[wattamack4]

Wanna ask Nantoreturns?

[ztrawhcsg]

I directed the video for the Children's Television Network. I have my 3/4 original.

[TheBoomerKuwanger]

@Ztrawhcsg, How did you create this video?
