Indian Yogi counts to 20

[NedN00b]

I sat way too close to the TV watching this.

[hamsteradorable]

groooooooooooovy

[sperminator21]

what a psychedelic show omG xDDD

[pliers1]

This definitely stirred a long-lost memory for me....I'm watching this with my two-year-old, and I bet that the modern Sesame St. would never have anything this nice. The 70's are gone and they ain't coming back. Too bad.

[FLCLCBSC]

I just had a flashback...

[yandros1]

I remember how this held my attention as a kid and still occasionally runs thru my head 40 years later!

[quirpco]

Strange - forty years later this song still goes through my head, usually when I'm nervous or afraid about something. 

[simdude2u]

How can Sesame Street be in 16:9 format?

[wingslyp]

Sesame Street is 40 years old

[CanadaFamilyMan]

I didn't care much for this when I was little, but now it's very nice. It makes me feel strangely peaceful & sad at the same time. Sad that I'll never be a child again.

[Syrinx77]

Does ANYone remember a 70s SS short film that showed a jogger running in slow motion. I'm pretty sure it was filmed in Central Park in NY.

You hear this organ music accompanying & I *think* it begins & ends w/ a close up of a black iron gate.(?)

This sound familiar??

[Nogli]

Noting from quick cut to Big Bird, I had this video! He's about to talk to a couple of cool cats (Meow meow meow meow! Ha ha!) and then a song about two little dolls in a little doll house which is ultimately destroyed by two cats (who then sat down and had...some...teeeeea!)

[solconnection2]

wow, there's actually some lovely design in there, we were lucky getting such great content when we were young....

[ramarover]

this is great, what sublime ways we used to have for educating kids

[Ctmagnus]

not exactly a bad introduction to Hindu culture for a small child in podunk Arkansas... they could have done infinitely worse. PC is dog doo, and we all know it.

[mattess]

Whatever happened to the good old days of drug influenced childrens television.Sigh.

[sesamestchick]

I absloutely loved this clip as a little girl! The sitar music reminded me of my mom & dad's Sgt. Pepper's album, that "Within You, Without You" song. Everytime they played it, I thought of the counting man!

[19andrew80]

no wonder I ate Acid.... it is all coming back to me!

[oclandestin]

I loved Sesame Street's psychedelic animations as a child : )

[jagdpanther1944]

it taught me how to count....even now, the tune goes through my head as i am adding up

[LuShadow357]

omg me too. when i need to count 1 to 20 always is sung in my head automatic hahaha.

[neilzep]

flashback,,,I am indian,don't think its racist.

[DethWench]

Me too, I love it. It's eerie how this really sounds like Indian music, the wandering melody with the sitar...

[shamanix604]

i love the transition between numbers

[Nornegest]

Does anyone have the Spanish version? Please, for old times' sake.

[psychedelicyogi]

i dig the idea of any guy with 4 arms and 20 fingers

[theking1963]

this is hella racist

[sluggo243]

nor cal represent

[isidro7667]

We see a Hindu holy man presented in yoga posture, taking on through the power of animation forms and images harmonious with his spiritual belief system. How can you call this racist, unless you are some dastardly new strain of PC Police? Henson et. al. did more to promote interracial awareness and understanding than anyone else I can think of from his generation. Lighten up!

[QBCNetwork]

They did this in Spanish as well.

[someotherwag]

Thanks for putting this up--I've wanted to see it again for years.

[rdangelo]

You can't tell me these animators weren't tripping. Too bad they all moved to cocaine.

[Grumbles82]

lol thats classic.

[bocuster]

Hah, what a trip.

[emilysong2000]

I remember loving this as a child, and it's still great today.

[MacLeaper]

hmm- he certainly looks like an Indian Yogi Bear! :-)
