Sesame Street - How Milk Is Made

[NoctisLabyrithus]

Sounds not like Joe Raposo, but whoever did the "Fire Station" clip music.

[DVDluvr123]

Do you have the other Sesame Street clip called “How Human Milk is Made”?

[nanitesnodes]

Pinky Doom take his Cheerios with bananas and Milk. served hot

[Paolo8772]

The music sounds like Raposo, but not the voice. I swear by my ears that is NOT Raposo's voice. The vibrato is to fast and pronounciation of so many words to "Canadian" sounding (for lack of a better word)

[screeem]

i thought they come from milk trees.

[0047124]

for a fresh cool soothing drink of milk.....made from only natural ingredients (except red 40 and yellow 5).........milk, make you say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

BULLSHIT! Milk is not the only ingredient in milk read te back of the food label... i still drink it but still this video isn't explaining how stuiff is added to milk real nasty shit like carrengenan wich is used to strip planes of ice its some seaweed extract... used as a thickener... and as a jet ice stripper.. the fuck is wrong with this country. Can't trust the fucking FDA they approve this shit. In large amounts caragenen will give u the worst stomach ache ever. its not meant to be drank-.-

[Spenbald]

@True2TheBlueYoViGang Or, you could buy organic milk...

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@Spenbald yeah but i dont buy white milk... the organic brands of milk (white milk only) dont have extra stuff added the chocolate milk(wich i love) is still loaded with that caragenenana word what ever u spell it... and yeah its stil labeled organic... i just got over it and drink it. I just dont feel comfortable knowing that im drinking that stuff in small amounts. i was just mad they dnt explain all this stuff in any dairy video. Even white milk has added sugar and salts its wierd O_____O

[hippiechik95]

@PSshadow92 Actually, yes; Sesame Street celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2009, so it's approximately 42 or 43 years old now.

[PSshadow92]

"The dairy take all the milk and puts it into cartons."

Y'know after filtering it through tens of filters to remove all the bacteria that is safe for cows but unsafe for humans.

[BlondieChu]

I haven't seen this since i was 7 years old> and now i'm turning 50



[PSshadow92]

@BlondieChu It's not 43 years old. At least, I don't think it is. Is it?

[BlondieChu]

I haven't seen this since i was 7 years old> and now i'm turning 50

[MrBfg586]

I guess 3:52 is the money shot.

[giventofly34]

I would love to see Elmo visit a factory farm today.

[disneypassholder]

R.I.P. Joe. Thanks for so many years of wonderful music.

[mightyfilm]

@disneypassholder Joe Raposo did not lay a finger on this song.  If he did, it would have been much better. And Shorter.

[Witchatwork]

Love the sesame street songs! How much you think the singer had to smoke to get in the right mind frame to sing "Hey cow.. I see you nooooowwwww" ?

[Smartboy8877]

@Witchatwork

You have a very good sense of humor! Glad to meet you!

[toemasie]

Wait a minute! Those Cows are milked by plain old farmers, who use their unsanitary hands and fill one bucket at a time. Scandalous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeblowthehot]

mmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMoo..­..

[tiffehmusic]

3:48 - 3:57 LOL!!

[mojoj87]

i love cows :)

[LOKOMETASENJADOTOY]

That cat at the beginning must be long dead :(

[robertd98]

@LOKOMETASENJADOTOY "determined or not...that's kind of a downer"

[AFGSANFORD2]

That's the original "Gordon" narrating

[NantoVision1]

I don't know who the narrator is, but it's definitely not Matt "Gordon" Robinson. And the singer is definitely not Joe Raposo.

[AFGSANFORD2]

No, not Matt Robinson, the other Gordon before him. Roscoe Orman replaced Matt Robinson

[avlewis]

Is the narrator Morgan Freeman? It sure sounds like him to me, and he was involved with Children's Television Workshop back then. I can't find any confirmation, but I'm hoping someone can confirm one way or the other.

[ErnieandBert1]

William Barnes Brown actually made this, not Joe Raposo.

[ErnieandBert1]

Well, Joe COULD be singing it, but I'm not 100% sure.

[superAJ71]

Even though it doesn't sound exactly like him, I think the singing reminds me more of Art Garfunkel, but pretty sure it's not Joe.

[Muppoet83]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GuyCC]

I saw (remembered) this again on "Sesame Street Old-School Vol. 1"

Watching it at first, I thought I was bored, but then I realize how soothingly relaxed I was during the viewing. The firm, but repetitive voice, and then the soft and comforting singing behind it. Almost Zen-like.

Who knew this could double off as a relaxation tape?

[MailManFan28]

Is it just me, or does the song in the background creep anyone else out?! I was looking for Discovery Channels "How It Was Made" & found this. WOAH. LOL :)

[DanaAbel30]

Cows aren't the only animals that give off milk. So do yaks, goats, sheep, etc.

[flyinhoosier]

Good point humans give off milk too.

[DanaAbel30]

Yeah. Practically all mammalian fauna does.

[Piscivorus]

this film is 90% industry BS

here's the truth

watch?v=6UGBT8PttB8

[landyachtfan79]

Does this remind anyone else besides me of the "Guiding Light" theme from the late '70s-early '80s?

[Ramachadras]

I bet a Hindu would watch this video and never stop bowing to the screen.

[RSG2006]

It's now known that the writer of this song, if not the vocalist (though it probably was him as well, as this song sounds made up on the spot and not "written"), was someone named William Barnes Brown, and that he also wrote 'Fireman Ready To Go.'

[RSG2006]

..and the song is copyrighted as "Hey Cow."

[JB0246]

morbidly,melancholic funny video..

[stlouisx50]

My fiancee remembers this video, but not the Milk Crisis Video. Where as I remember it the oppisite way.

I know why I don't remember this video, it's because it's boring as hell.

Other good videos are:

Crayons

Sugar Beat

Milk Crisis

[LeftSock06]

Very much an Art Garfunkel kind of feeling to this Joe Raposo tune. Very nice. :)

[CatNaptz]

I love this ! It's so mellow .

Everything now a days is so flashy and fast paced.

[shadow33066]

Thank you for posting this video. It was my favorite. I love this song, it may be boring to some, but to me it was always beautiful!

[Ivansky1]

This is the moust boring video I've seen. Its so slow and it repits every thing twise, and that song socks.

[wiley207]

It always goes like "Hey cow, I see you now... MILK."

[SuperSpaceGirl]

That song put me to sleep, really.

[zoomtubed]

Listen, I LOVE Sesame Street... and this is very cute.

But this song is hysterical. No doubt about it.

[Amamkoncahuanquichu]

Milk gives me dyerear. Ever tried bird's milk? Don't try bird's milk.

[hornbuckle]

this gets pretty close to making me want to be vegan.

[samhaskell]

This is from the first episode of "Sesame Street". I bet "Sesame Street" can't talk about penises. Milk comes from a cow. Milk doesn't always come from cows. It also comes from goats, sheep, and yaks.

[dalisman]

that's why he says 'MOST of the milk we drink comes from cows' twice

[woa12]

:18-"milk,do you ever know where it came from? "YEAH,MY MOMS BOOBS!"

[HUTINAK]

Six and a half minutes to teach childen where milk comes from ???

[stevespielberg]

Where milk USED to come from.

[lovinag]

Silk is NOT milk.

[lovinag]

Because people are soo removed from the farm these days. City dwellers have no clue about where their food comes from. They think it comes from the grocery store. How sad. Hooray for Agriculture!

[almadora]

gorgeous.

[imissmyhorsegus]

cool thoose calves are adorable :)

[Honeygirl911]

I remember a different one with a song that went like this: M-M-M-Milk's moving from the cow to the dairy to your front door.

[fridgebuzznow]

There is something so soothing about this clip. It's really great.

[shadow33066]

I agree with you. This song will always be remembered in my mind.

[lunavixen015]

anyone who has been to primary school knows how milk is made

[dispatcher484]

Moo.

[deathnutz]

Is this not the ultimate cow video? Cows everywhere should be proud of this video. If a cow brought this video to an interview, I would hire him in a heart beat just for being a cow.

[Sparkina]

Oh, memories! Beautiful music and pastoral scenery. I always liked this film even though I didn't like milk much UNLESS it's heavily dosed up with chocolate (we're talking, like, Hershey-Bar-in-a-glass here

[jphg]

Excellent. So relaxing...

[simoin]

good times...

[MrBertstown]

got milk?

[snuggleboo2]

if i was a toddler this would bore the shit outa me so fast

[lizzykat2]

Last time I seen this is when I was a baby

[SesameSquirrel]

At 4:12 they show the modern dairy farm, with multiple cows being milked on a rotating platform. I do believe that's the "rotolactor", which was located at the Walker-Gordon farm in Plainsboro, NJ, the original home of Elsie the cow.

Walker-Gordon ceased dairy production in 1971, just a few years after this was filmed. The farm is now a housing development which includes "Elsie Drive", along with a looping road named after the old farm.

[roblawgriffith]

If I was literate this post would bore the shit outa me so fast

[randomseizures]

Well, it's a good thing you aren't!

[Smartboy8877]

@SesameSquirrel

It is always nice to meet a great fountain of wisdom! Thank you very much for sharing!

[Pocockable]

@SesameSquirrel

I feel sad about what happened to the farm. I've wondered, however, where this was filmed (I had thought it might be Iowa or Kansas). Now I'm glad I know. It's too bad that so many dairy farmers are still using feedlots. I wish they'd learned from Sesame Street about breeding cows.

[SalukiJD]

Isn't the narrator Lorne Greene, from Bonanza?

[lizzykat2]

I think so

[LA1919]

No. This narrator's voice isn't deep enough, and his faintly halting delivery isn't executed with a sufficiently Greenian amount of authority.

[lizzykat2]

I had chocolate milk for breakfast this morning

[DougM63]

Sweet! mellow, laid back.

[lizzykat2]

They never showed the milk in the lunch rooms at the school I went to school at West bladen and I had milk everyday

[lizzykat2]

I had milk at school before

[bearcattony]

must have been before the milk crisis video.

[kll510]

So mellow and beautiful. I had forgotten about this one. Wow a blast from the past! Great to see it again.

[Marbles471]

This is a strange little relic from a new, experimental TV show still developing its approach. It's about three times the length of what ended up being average, and its mellow, didactic tone feels more like a 1950s elementary school film than anything from this show's late '60s birth environment. (right down to the "farms all over America" thing.)

[MIKECNW]

What's wrong with the farms all over America thing?

[Marbles471]

Just that it seems to come from a different place---the kind of didacticly patriotic stuff kids were shown in schools to make them ever conscious of "you live in America, a great, free country."

Sesame Street, as it developed, didn't really focus on "America" very much.  So this stands out.

[lizzykat2]

Maybe they're not gettin enough rain cause the cows not giving milk

[CDCB]

Cool segment, but I personally think it was too long.

[wiley207]

Seven minutes? This is probably the longest Sesame Street film ever made!

[MIKECNW]

Wonder how milk tastes streight from the cow's utters?

I must say the film's more sensable than the film with that sily MILK! MILK! MILK! song.

[ISNorden]

Amen to that: I don't see how combining a how-to film with a kid crying for a bottle makes it more educational or more fun; that annoyed me even as a girl. At least this milk film (even if it's long for Sesame Street) doesn't turn the lesson into a weird cliffhanger drama!

[MIKECNW]

So what if it's long?

[ISNorden]

I guess kids back in the late 60s/early 70s didn't have such short attention spans, is all I meant.

[ISNorden]

By the way, I read somewhere that when Sesame Street first aired in the UK, a teacher showed this clip and asked the kids where milk came from. Their unanimous response: "America!"

[ISNorden]

I swear this clip is hypnotic, between the narrator's voice and the background song...

[MIKECNW]

Think it was somebody else singing and not Joe.

[rockintetster]

I think you're right- It's not Joe Raposo
