Quit calling it kids tv. Childhood tv is more like it. cause if this all still came on tv to day would i stop watching sesame street today no! I'm in my 30's but who cares I would still watch it. Think of it as watching the muppet show would you give up that? I still watch ss today even though they killed it.
Right on - I watch Sesame Street on a daily basis IF ... IF .... they would change it back from the Elmo show to the vintage stuff. Stuff worth watching - thank God Youtube has most of it!
Does anybody have the clip where's there's 4 or 5 guys on the steps of 123 sort of rapping about school, or whatever the 70's version of rap is? They sang a song about school.. "School...you know you love school...school is where you wanna be and its really really really cool... " and this guy in the background just sings something like "bow bow be doo be shoobeee wap wap" The whole time. Anybody have this one?
I remember seeing that clip in the mid-to-late 80s as a teen. Yeah, I was still watching even then. As I recall, they were more of a DOO-WOP, a capella type thing. That was a great clip. I would like to see that one again myself since I haven't seen it in over 20 years.
I got a audio tape recorder for my 6th birthday in the mid 70s. My favorite thing to do was to hold it up to the tv and record sesame street. This was one of my favorite segments. I bet they had so much fun doing that stuff.
definitely. I'm 33 and sadly, I have never heard of The Floaters. but still this was a fun song and the men were so cool and good looking especially Luis...had the biggest crush on him.
right on!! my mom was impressed by some of the spanish words I was saying and when she asked where I got them from, she was stunned when I said it was from Sesame Street.
I used to love this skit. I watched Sesame Street all the time but was excited when the number for the day was 5. I knew then that they were going to air this skit.
OMG! Thanks for posting this. I'm 35 now and I remember watching this as a kid. Every now and then I sing it and never thought I'd see it again. Thank God for Youtube!
I remember seeing this as a kid, I always liked Luis's part because he spoke in Spanish! Since then, I always wanted to speak Spanish. Thanks for posting!
Love this song! As little girls, my sis and I used to do this and laugh...especially the Gimme Gimme part!!! LoL! Luis is sexy now that I see this one again...what a voice. Love them all...they are great. Sesame Street in my time was the best!!!!
(Wish we could make this translation a sticky post).
"Hello, I'm Luis. I've liked the number five ever since I was very young. Do you know that three and two make five, and that four and one make five, too? Ah, the number five, how sweet!"
I loved this as a kid still do. I love David, Louis, Bob and Gordon I was so upset David had to quit Sesame Street for health promlems still am. He didn't die of stomach cancer did he? because someone told me he did. Do you think they will make a group the lovers of 5 but with girls like Gina, Maria, Susan and Celina? or Celina , Ruthie, Maria and Gina? that would be cool. I wonder what Bob, Gordon and Louis are all up too now? I will always have a crush on Louis he is so rad. Love you SS xxxxx.
I remember Gordon and Bob, and vaguely remember David from back when I was a kid. They rocked. Check out David's phat sideburns. Was he cool, or what?
If Sesame Workshop had any sense, they'd put out the old school music along with the DVDs. Between this, The Pointer Sisters, Joe Raposo and Grace Slick, it'd be something I'd get.
Actually Sony did release a three CD set that had some old stuff on it, but not this. Disappointed to hear this sketch isn't on Volume 2 of the Old School DVD's...
Yo I have been looking for this clip forEVER!! I couldn't find it anywhere to download. I used to love this when I was a kid. Used to copy the choreography and everything.
Hello, I'm Luis. I've liked the number five ever since I was very young. Do you know that three and two make five, and that four and one make five, too? Ah, the number five, how sweet!
This is a true classic. --Been looking for it forever. I've asked people about it--just last week, actually. They didn't know what I was talking about. Lou is all that at the end speaking Spanish. This song reminds me of the "Floaters" classic. Rest in Peace David...
I have been looking for this forever! Nobody I know remembers it! I am glad to know you guys feel the same way that I do about this classic... Lou is all that in the end with the Spanish!!! This reminds me of the Floaters--"Float On"
I love this so much. I'm glad that I found this. I've watched it at least a hundred times, and I just downloaded it 2 days ago. I love the way they hit that last note...PURE HARMONY!! AWESOME!!
amazing how things are burned into your memory. this song pops into my head to this day. i loved it as a kid. "...but if you love me more give me 5" heehee
I only saw this clip once as a kid but had the song memeorized. I watched sesame street for years just to catch this clip, but never saw it againuntil this day. thank Sawing for the post
After over 35 years. It is Great to see this the Greatest segment and My personal favorite of watching Sesame Street as a child. Thank You very much for reposing this. It brings back wonderful memories of my childhood.
oh my gosh this is the most entertaining sesame street segment ever back when there was the biggest talent even on kid shows! all i can say is WOW! love it!
I guess they were like the boy band of the 70's I did not realize how great they could sing. They all have incredible voices. I did not know if David died but I hope he was saved so that he is in heaven and not in hell burning somewhere.
Wicked stuff. I loved seeing this clip on Sesame Street. I was thinking "I wonder if somebody on YouTube had that clip of Gimme Five on Sesame Street with Bob, Gordon, Luis and David?" and here it was. It's too bad Sesame Street sucks now, in the 1970's both it and The Electric Company kicked ass! At least I have YouTube and a few channels air Hilarious House Of Frightenstein in Canada. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Gordon is the pimp Mack Daddy. Luis and David are cool, too, but Bob...er, he's quite "the other thing." He should just stick to singing about "people in the neighborhood."
youve gotta be kidding me!!! YOUTUBE IS THE GREATEST!!!! I was singing this song at work and no one knew what the hell i was singing. I thought it MIGHT be here, and sure enough, it is!!! I remember watching this with my sister and laughing at Bob!!! what a pimp!!
I can't believe I found this clip after sooooo many years. I remember this song when I was 4 and now here it is. If anyone can make this into an MP3 file PLEASE let the masses know.
I can't believe MY kids are now watching this show. For those of you that don't have kids, Gordon, Luis, and Bob are STILL ON THE SHOW. Talk about a steady gig.
Thanks for posting this; brings back memories. Has anyone ever noticed that Luis does this little "bounce" during the sways of "gimme 1-2-3-4, but if you love me more..."? (the other three just do a smooth sway left to right)....it was something I noticed when I saw the skit umpteen years ago.
It was a segment about two girls who looked exactly alike in every way, except at the end it's revealed that one is really tall and one is really short.
Amazing how these gents could make a children's counting song sound romantic -- and didn't they look just all kinds of fine in their sky-blue junior-prom tuxedoes? :-)
Yes I do remember watching this as a kid. It sort of stuck in my mind forever. Sad that David passed away in 1990. This will forever live in my memory.
You're definitely right, Mr. H. (not the one with the Horrible Hair) was not a great singer. I only heard him sing once and it was a little hard on the ears. :)
Yeah, besides it would be kind of creepy if a guy in his 70's were performing in a soul group with these four younger guys who are in their 30's/early 40's.
Now THIS is Sesame Street!!!Northern,Emilio,Roscoe And Bob (I am using their real names) really have great voices.I have never heard great harmonies about the number 5!I loved this,still do and yet again I miss David being on the show!
Poor David. He was one of my favorites on here when I was a kid.

It was a segment about two girls who looked exactly alike in every way, except at the end it's revealed that one is really tall and one is really short.

Amazing how these gents could make a children's counting song sound romantic -- and didn't they look just all kinds of fine in their sky-blue junior-prom tuxedoes? :-)

Yes I do remember watching this as a kid. It sort of stuck in my mind forever. Sad that David passed away in 1990. This will forever live in my memory.

My old school's supervisor told me about this. I love the soul sound here.

Bob is gettin' D-O-W-N and that last high note is what I remember most about that song "Oooo Hooo Yeahhh"!

that would have been funny if Mr. Hooper was in this singing with the other guys, then it would be "Gimme Six!"

Mr. Hooper was a wonderful man but he wasn't a good singer. Not even a man with an average voice could have fit in with these 4 guys.

You're definitely right, Mr. H. (not the one with the Horrible Hair) was not a great singer. I only heard him sing once and it was a little hard on the ears. :)

Yeah, besides it would be kind of creepy if a guy in his 70's were performing in a soul group with these four younger guys who are in their 30's/early 40's.
