Sesame Street: The Word is No

[wileyk209zback]

I LOVE THE 1980S SESAME STREET MUSIC!!!

[raezrad86]

this is definitely 80s, not 90s. 1985/86 I would guess.

[ir10031981]

@raezrad86 actually it's from 1990.

[papesjr]

@ir10031981 1988

[sizzurp]

90's

No hiding from the N.W.O. jk but what's with no rhyming(look at the words on the list)

[cloopy12x]

like if you are watching this in 2012?! <3

[HayleyEMC]

1:25

[bigbare]

Every congressman/women should have to watch this video every morning

before they go into work. NO spending, NO more taxes, NO more regulations,

NO NO NO NO NO

[mibevan]

who r the women singing this?

[aceattorney1989]

@mibevan Maria and Gina

[mibevan]

this song used to scare me man idk why

[quizmaster85]

1:24 - That look just cracks me up every time :)

[RebelAllianceMedia]

this song used to scare me as a kid

[SaintAlia10191]

I remember this song from when I was a kid, but even then I thought it was weird they were teaching us about the word "no." Don't kids just say that constantly and reflexively all the time anyway?

[puzzleclocks]

Wow, I just realized... Gina's soooo cute!

[Southernburrito]

LOL I can't believe I found this! Thats great thanx :)

[skraddypoo]

Well now, looks like THAT's back in my head. I spent ought near 20 years trying to get that song out of my subconscious.

[presbran86]

This first appeared in Season 21 (1989-90)

[Emmerdale2009]

the word i get alot

[Bluefirefoley]

How many people said "SCREW YOU!!!!" when they saw this?

[BladesOfMunch]

@webcamfan2569 Yep. That was definitely Maria. I remember her as clearly as my own mother.

[cstoczyn]

Are Gina And Maria Wearing Chuck Taylor Sneakers?

You Know;

Maria - Zebra-Striped

Gina - Pink

[cstoczyn]

What Brand Name Of Clothing That Gina And Maria Are Wearing?

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 2619th Episode Of "Sesame Street" On November 16, 1989.

[alicialover88]

No spongebob no dora no anime cartoons No NIkki No Willow No lil wayne and the word is No

[alicialover88]

NO stalking 

[chmaph21]

i miss this.. all those CGI shows should go back to this :D

[IWillSlash91]

Those lips saying no multiple times use to scare me

[carterfrvr]

Grease is the word.

[mmusser19]

It's old school gems like this that make me realize just how much I hate Elmo.

[infernofmars]

@mmusser19 OOOOOooooooh you hate him too! :D (its hard to find fellow Elmo haters lol)

[stevarino1989]

@infernofmars I like Elmo but only when he was a minor character in the late 80s-early 90s but now he is way over-hyped.

[infernofmars]

@stevarino1989 You know what, I probably liked him too in the past(though I can't remember lol). It's only when I hit my teen years that he began to annoy me, his theme song..and him lol. I liked sesame street of the 80s and 90s, and I agree, he's become too much the face of sesame street, that's why kiddies like him so much, not the other way around.(lol well that's how i view it)

[Jordan6379]

@SesameStreet, go to my channel Jordan6379 and watch The Word Is No from the wee sing train HD Audio or the 1st one. I made it and you should like it and favorite it.

[PlatformPictures]

MY dad hates how its animated these days

[PlatformPictures]

These are some VERY selfish women. :D

[JuzCallMeLeX]

[TheMistMelody]

[baldy71]

I have been looking for this song for the longest!!! I haven't seen this since I was 9, just so many memories

[MuzikJunkyAES]

This song would've hit the pop charts back in the days had it been released as a single. Peace.

[goTeamCALLofDUTY]

NO comment

[daftintendo]

Man, I remember when I was kid, having a Sesame Street music cassette tape with this song on it. Loved that tape!

[Carpathia1086]

I imagine Maria got practice for this song by saying "No" to Luis so many times...AFTER she said yes, of course...

[Smartboy8877]

@Carpathia1086

That is an interesting way of seeing things!

[ctuforwin]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[jbrich16]

I remember this song lol

[mammatusofmystery]

This reminds of the 80's synthpop and New Wave music.

[numommy310]

Maaan the mouths scared me when I was a kid!!!!!

[Gazonkie]

holy shit! ive had a random memory of a song that i heard when i was a kid for the past 10 years, and i could NEVER find out what the song was...... THIS IS THE SONG! wow this is amazing............ i finally found it! THE WORD IS NO

[randomleafsfan]

@Gazonkie SAME HERE. All I could remember was a random song with a shot of someone's lips at the beginning....can't believe I found it!

[Smartboy8877]

@randomleafsfan

I guess that just goes to show that anything is possible on You Tube!

[stevarino1989]

@randomleafsfan that would also be "The Rocky Horror picture show." =P

[MiyahSummer]

I remember the first time I saw this was when I was in Kindergarten and I was sick with the flu.

[malgk89]

no is such a stong word for children

[IAMAMEGAMANpunch]

no sucks

[chicky21688]

is this another wiki leak, did Julia Gillard make this? cos I'm sure this has something to do with Australia and all these stupid laws that have been brought in of what we can and can't do.

[Starjack100]

NONONONONONONO Comment lol.

[EDWEIRDITUDE]

What's the word?

Bird's the word.

[mskserr88]

omgosh this is so old school!!!

[ttipoopfinal]

Darth Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Pikachu4352]

Robotnik: NO!

[Junsumoto]

4 people are arrested for breaking this rule: NO Disliking!

[Supadizzo]

[spartan117ak]

Errm... As nostalgic as I am, anyone else get a bad vibe from this one?

[karkkiliininam]

I like the no-part

[Sereniama]

Mario: No.

[cloudz1993]

chaaa I remember this!

[And8But]

No rhyming, no reason. Hahah. This sounds like something They Might Be Giants would write.

[Arthus850]

I completely forgot about this song. in fact I completely forgot how good sesame street was

[zilatrah012]

so....is dis supposed 2 teach kids 2 say no...to a bunch of stuff??....

no biking,no driving,no camping,no laughing,no talking,no rhyming,etc etc well dis is NO fun....

[twon1610]

I thought the bird was the word

[FACEFORWARD12]

Welcome back 1988.

[FACEFORWARD12]

The closest thing to an eighties music video I ever watched as a child. XD

[Superphilipp]

Wow, from the title I would have guessed this was either about drugs (just say no), or educating kids about sexual harrassment. I guess this was a more innocent time.

[karkkiliininam]

ugh..

[generatorium]

ELNO is an eveil antipode of ELMO

[KILAH4716]

no to what, no chores?

[nerdgant]

jeez, it seems like I've taken a trip back to 1995

[csn90]

Really,i can't stop to listen this song....it's a fucking drug XD

[Accessoftheblue]

[Xkjgmcr522X]

[coolkim963]

@SesameStreet OMG I LUV PINKY DINGY DO (i read ur description) what other shows do you produce????

[lovebreaxnna]

I thought bird was the word..

[elazarn2]

@lovebreaxnna don't worry. it still is. i think this is supposed to be a take on "bird is the word" and "tell her no"

[GeekyMex]

YES

[HaydenShyBoi]

I HATED THIS AS A KID!!!

[panda374]

@HaydenShyBoi Why did you hate this?

[coolkim963]

@panda374 well the reason y I hated it was because the mouth going "no no no no no no " like, up close really scared me, id litterally run out of the room crying....maybe thats y hadenshyboi hated this as a kid *shrugs*

[steventean]

worse off w/out it? y?

[JLBtiger92]

The mouth that kept repeating "no no no" gave me nightmares as a kid...

[randomjess]

This used to TERRIFY me as a kid; I think it was the moving lips at the beginning. Can't believe I used to run out of the room for such an epic song!

[Melcat96]

@randomjess I feel the same way you feel. The mouth is why I'm afraid of this video. But I like the song.

[kelseystevenson1992]

i remember this episode..!

[ThePatch202]

My mom likes this song and I am embarrassed by my mom

[ThePatch202]

I actually learned how to read though sesame street

[dmc97ingc]

The 80s music is just beautiful.

[jbbremerton]

this song was a prophetic glimpse of how all the restraints really do keep things from getting done. it's scary if you think about it. no doubt about it. no's no fun!

[FunkyRes]

The encoding on this version is so much better than previous rips. Use to watch Sesame Street while watching my little brothers, way way back. They loved this video, and I must confess, I liked this one too :)

[BronxBoomBoom]

I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG IN YEARS! WOW THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!!

[TONYKEAS]

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I loved listening to this song on "Rock 'n Roll" when I was little. I still have it in my head after all these years.

Was anyone reminded of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" music video after watching this?

[CandyCane541]

[CharlieT305]

[gogokris85]

Classic "Sesame Street" skit.

[TomatoSpud5]

And the memories keep on coming. It's like you're reading my mind!

[hemanshera777]

@TomatoSpud5 Agreed.

I'd like those memories more if they'd put those videos about "Seeing Through A Birdies Eyes" that's kind of a song. they got that?

[Nightmastercool97]

you know i might be a little out there but its vintage seseme street the songs from the show that not many people remember but somehow got on youtube is there any way i get this song as a ringtone on my cellphone.

[exiledavatar]

[BluAngelfish]

[Sheetaha101]

[MarshalGrover]

[UnityBeing313]

[glowworm2]

This is such good quality. This has always been one of my absolute favorite Sesame Street Songs. It's just so catchy!My favorite part is when Bert and Ernie try to hide from the "No"

[finnishminnow]
