[Fartingbellybutton]

Sesame Street's Answer to Charlie Daniels.

[mrkingofkings]

This can be heard in Sesame Street Numbers for the CD-Rom.

[stegatops]

Forgive me for saying so, but this has a slightly "hillbilly" flavour to it!

[SimsMoyal]

The hebrew version i much better in my opinion

[Whoozinga]

The farmer was my fave 38 years ago. I swear he is why I love BlueGrass music to this day. Even at 5 his fiddle/banjo gave me goosebumps! And dang those toucans are adorable!!

[Railrunner200]

I can remember these as clear as day . grew up on them!

[jeanniechip]

So sweet and brilliant, how can anybody help but love the old Sesame Street? The people behind these litle songs/cartoons are truly gifts from God. Bless them all.

[CadillacL]

WOW, talk bout memories :)

[ejflesher]

The Count has nothing on Donny Budd!!

[thespawnof66]

That is awesome!!! I haven't seen this since I was a kid!

[ProfessorIgor]

[d72jjpilc]

I remember this and all of the other fiddler clips - what about the one for 4 (lions)? Is that still on YouTube? If not, does anyone out there have it? Thanks in advance.

[idiotfangirl]

Thank heavens they kept it simple this time. The larger the number, the greater difficulty I have comprehending it all, really.

[JHayworth]

This was one of my favorite Seasame Street videos! Thank you for sharing!

[coolbluelights]

1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 man that stuck with me forever, that's all I remembered of this song till I just saw it :D

[kll510]

Such a funny catchy song. Great memories!

[mightyfilm]

Anyone seen the animated short "Boundin" from pixar? Bud Lucky did that one as well. And it really sounds like the fiddler could have sung it as well. I'm a big fan of Bud's.

[christimacc]

This is Bud Lucky! I wonder if he understands how many adults he affected when we were kids? Great stuff!

[benamy02]

i reamber this one

[falkonight]

bud lucky hemade all the good ones i mess this thanks for posting you have six snails

[Swimchick2008]

what a flash back!!! I loved this!

[OGNAILS]

lol this was tight.

[vrikey]

Okay, I'm posting the text for Donny Bud's number 6 song:

Got a little song that I'd like you to know

It's got snails in it so it goes kinda slow

It's called: 6

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 snails...

Well, 6 tiny snails leaving 6 slimy trails,

6 slimy trails as shiny as nails

6 shiny nails with 6 silver tips

6 silky sails on 6 sailing ships

[vrikey]

(con't from above)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ships...

Those 6 sailing ships met 6 spouting whales

That all get home to supper long before the snails

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 snails...

GET UP SNAILS! 1-2-3-4-5 ... 6!

(Can anyone find and post the cartoon?)

[vrikey]

I'd like to see the fiddler segments for 4 and 6 - I remember the words by heart, I'm tempted to post them unless someone can upload the cartoons.

here's a sample:

1-2-3-4 Four big lions just came through my door

1-2-3-4 Four big lions just sat on my floor

[djtoucan606]

Sweet! I havn't seen this for 5 years as they used to play old re-runs on the TV channel NOGGIN (back when it was retro re-runs all night). Too bad they stoped showing anything good (old) now. Glad to see someone recorded this! Thanks :)

[hamsterama]

I completely forgot that this segment existed. All my memories are now flooding back to me!

[patybear]

"Careful not to step on your girlfriends'nose".Omg,now this is all coming back to me!Thanks a million for the extra chuckle on my birthday! patybear

[QBCNetwork]

Where can I find the rest of the fiddler series for 3, 4, 5 & 6?

[wattamack4]

I can upload 4 for you.

[anibeth39]

I remember that two some clip! I loved it.

[jbn0817]

This guy sounds an awful lot like bluegrass singer, Doc Watson who happened to be at the height of his career at the time this was released. Didn't connect back when I was a kid watching this.

[KairuHakubi]

He said 'two hairy gnus', those are clearly gnus. :) the next ones were caribou enough, though they did look more like moose.

[lpalacios]

LOL..iThought he said 'moose'. Gary Gnu would be proud of this clip. ;)

[lpalacios]

I loved this one! I like how the one toucan flexes his toes before they start dancing. Did anyone notice that Caribou and Moose are in the wrong sequence? "If 2 Toucan, 2 hairy Moose can..." This first pair are Caribou, the Moose are second. ;) 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2

[Tassie20]

Great to have a lot of memroies from Sesame Street Of The early 70's in Australia

(Tassie) Brisbane Australia

[lijana]

Careful not to step on your girlfriend's nose!!

[g6c]

This is still so darn cool, after so many years! I think I like it better in my 30s than I did when I was a kid!

[SamuraibrandX]

Good upload. Bud Luckey rules.

[CelesteK]

I've already saved them to my favourites.

[Atell]

I still have a vinil record with the Hebrew version of this.

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

these are going on my favourites

[LHZZ12MM]

bud luckey...WOW!!! What an impact he made on my learning years...what memories when I see these clips and now know who made them..."thanks Bud" is all that I can say

[headwuss]

This is one of a whole series of number skits made by Bud Luckey for SS. He co-wrote the songs, sang them and did all the animation. He's now a head story guy at Pixar and made their short 'Boundin'.

[mattulmen]

anyone know who is singing this? He did a lot for Sesame Street, it would be neat to find out :).

[shellyelly]

oldie but goodie
