[hardworkingguy2009gm]

Any educational song with a guitar solo rules.

[Diskoboy1974]

From 1980 to 1983 (Kindergarten through third grade) we always had TV time after lunch. The Letter People and Read All About It were the two shows we watched. Mr. M was the very fist episode I remember watching. My parents got me the record set in 1st grade.

[YamashitaTsubasa]

Listen to that bass, goddamn.

[headfonez]

my favorite since kindergarden

[mikerobva]

I'm 29 and I still remember these guys from elementary school.. Mr M was my favorite.. maybe because my name starts with an M!

[tippycanoe99]

[YaslyANDYailyn]

Mr.M is amazing......kindergarten would be incomplete without him.

[zodott]

My Guy Mr. M was always my favorite.... Now Im using this to help my 4yr old!

[ratedtriplex]

WOOOOW was thinking about this the other day a work. this is PROOF u can find ANYTHING on youtube. my parents bought the records and workbooks for my sister when we were kids. Mr M and Mr. S where my favorites... and they are the only ones i still remember some of the lyrics to

[WickedWonder1979]

@ratedtriplex I worked in a kindergarten in the 90s and we would play these for the kids. M and S were my favorites too!

[HerLabyrinth]

So long long ago and I still hum this every now and again.

[Versacality]

been 22 years since I heard the mr m song. holyshit!!

[thelobsterjesus]

@Versacality 35 years for me! I'm flashing back maaan!

[Nanaman12345]

I REMEMBER THIS!

[cupasmart]

hahahahaha whyyyy was this in kindergarden for like 20 years .

[MBaxtonM]

I love how funky the tunes is...I can't believe they showed this to little kids...It's trippy and kind of creepy...but still super cool.

[jonboi78]

What what, Eastside Elementary school in Ms Bailey's class. Mr M was bad as*, I still sing this song when I get hungry... ;o)

[DBadBrown]

I remember this. Mr. M was always my favorite one. J.C. Braswell Elementary School

[NebirosKnight]

Fist pump at 1:04 makes Mr. M a badass

[Morakthesage]

This guy is the shit.

[gtrshekgod]

could be worse....could be an upside down W....

[Fox5593]

The M in Mr. M stands for MEGA MAGNIFICENT.

[laikeabebe]

Does anyone else notice that Mr. M is wearing a Snuggie? Mr. M must stand for Missed opportunity, damnit Mr. M, 30 years ago you were sitting on a goldmine!!!

[Rocawells18]

Holy Crap, I remember this from Kindergarten

[dldowell1122]

So that is where they got the Dougie

[GpicErow]

Mr m was and is the best

[RatedRawkstarr]

Mr. M is the Man. He makes the most mavelous music you may ever hear.

[omarshall51]

Mushrooms, yeah Mr. M is the Man

[onequitebitterbeing]

Yup. He definitely has the munchies.

[GrayVizard]

WOW there were some Messed up local kids shows before the local channels decided toignore a solid tv block and do infomercials on saturday mornings

[tmntsplinterdude]

My kindergarten teacher played these songs on the vinyl. Mr. M actually scared me!

[ViolentPTheSkarecrow]

@tmntsplinterdude Think you'd have to agree though, Mr. G was a bit more terrifyingly creepy. Mr. M sounds more now to me like a typical stoner XD! My kindergarden teach actually recorded these songs onto a cassette tape for me I loved them so much. Remember the character sheets you colored and the little blowup Letter People dolls?

[joyjoy70301]

uh-oh, GET IT, Mr. M!  GET IT!

[goquendo]

Holy shitballs!! I haven't seen Mr. M since Kindergarten back in 86. They used to play the record of it! Memories of when life was good...

[creatornat]

I think he should be called,"Mr. Win'. :)

I love this guy. And I think regarding his eating disorder, Letter People Land should be more attentive to it's citizens, rather than turn a blind eye. It's clearly a social problem at large, that this man goes into grocery stores and compulsively eats food without paying. XD

[casorestis]

I love Mr. M.!!!!

[FABULUZZ]

I remember watching this is pre-school and Mr. M creeped me out! LOL I could not get that song out of my head...see... yeah...1:43 that was the part!

[IJustWatchEm71]

I like how he waves his hands around like a funky Minister! Testify, brother!

[graveman86]

Mr. M was the best of the letters man. OMG! He the best. I ahvent heard this song in so many years. I even had the whole ghetto singing and humming this song when I was little

[ImJust1Joe]

This was the first letter person I was introduced to in kindergarten.

[EdGringo78]

Damn, he really gets the fuck down!!

[jahambodotcom]

Mr. F wishes he was as cool as Mr. M... but he's not at all.

[joekhaki]

this is why i love youtube because of stuff like this i haven't seen this since i was 3 yrs old back in 1979. thanks letterpeopleland thats what you call a real throwback.

[JAtria]

I remember this song when I was in kindergarten - 1990 =P

[Usagi1992]

@JAtria I can top that, I saw this Kindergarten beauty back in 1978! Damn, I'm old, lol.

[KELH1990]

I remember this since I was in Kindergarten(1995).... Mr. M was my favorite!!!

[sexydex1981]

I remember this when I was about 4 years old (1984) while I was in Pre-K. I LOVED Mister M---he's was my favorite!!!!

[HEBisreal]

GIVE US A lETTER BOX!

[willy7369]

I can remember wathing this in kindergarten. That's how i learned my alphabet.. 1979 ... wish i could find a time machine just to see how fun life was when i was a kid... Will remain a kid at heart FOR LIFE....

[allaseful]

That's from kindergarten i still remember every word. Let me find the letter of my first name

[hi5044]

M must also stand for marijuana because clearly he's been smoking some.

[patchworkheart73]

@hi5044 that's hilarious!

[0BlueJayWay0]

This guy's diet is pretty iffy.

[CrazyGamerDragon64]

This was Cookie Monster's summer job XD

[SlickEmLicksEmDown]

Out of all the letters we learned in kindergarten till this day I always remembered Mr. M with the muching mouth! I've thought about this song for some years now and Im happy you uploaded it! Thanks

[missdaisymay09]

i love this so much im going to try to get this as my ringtone on my cell!

[Xeper1979]

hahah I watched this once while playing sick staying at home in grade 1 or so

[JAMiSSxx]

This is my life. This was my FAVORITE in grade K.

[just4kyx]

no thank you letterpeopleland!!!!!! i view these very very often!!

[JacobDeadman]

why the hell is m first

[faithm]

Wow we totally spent so much time watching these in Kindergarten. (That was around 1985 for me)

[dibstah]

I met the Inflatable Letter People back in Kindergarden. I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE PUPPETS! OO Mr. M was always my favorite and I never saw him look like this! WOAH! LOL His song was my fave. A and S were cool too. In Kindergarden we had to dress up as them. I was Miss A ACHOO! LOL

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

Mr. M. is my hero.

[JennelleBelle]

this used to be my shit!

[amyownzzz]

@JennelleBelle, Mine too. I remember singing this particular song over and over again as a kid.

[danielawesome]

I wonder if they still show kids this stuff?

[bluefairyfreak]

@danielawesome They've been updated over the years and changed some of the names of the people. They did away with anything negative sounding, and they also did away with anything food related (as far as the names go). Wiki has the info. :)

[freshprincess28]

I LOVEE THIS SONGGG!!

Oh ym gosh!!I remember it from Kindergarten! lmfaoo. aww...

[jordanwarvideos]

Oh my God! This brings memories from Kindergarten! Hahaha

[gaoutlaw]

His singing voice is different from when he talks

[margaritacandy]

Would you look at the angles on this video, so cool!

[DearKaitlynCountMeIn]

Mr.M is epic. He was always the best letter person(: lol I miss kindergarten.

[applesauce2100]

@DearKaitlynCountMeIn I remember this when I was a kid

[GraysonCTU]

@DearKaitlynCountMeIn I miss Kindergarten too!

[mofoca22]

@DearKaitlynCountMeIn me too lmao

[gaoutlaw]

[jasandmel69]

[laikeabebe]

I love how Mr. M starts to rock the f**k out at the 0:58 mark.....he breaks that shit down....get down Mr. M....get down...

[prettypussy9985]

@laikeabebe you are a mess and yes he was getting it

[Superbizzee]

@laikeabebe HAHAH! So true!

[cocoloveshockey]

i was trying to explain the letter people to a co worker the other day they were awesome i also remember the inflatable characters in our kindergarten class, i was mr L in our program! my mother, a middle school teacher was even able to get a tape of the songs which i stupidly loaned to a friend!

[freshprincess28]

@cocoloveshockey ME TOOOO!! Lmfaoo.

I had this one and the other kinde classes had my L. for ex n the other ones!

[cyntharianm]

Loved the letter people! We had the inflatable letter people in our class! Good memories!

[CodenameConundrum112]

Haha, so did we. Kindergarten...ahhh good times.

[scorpiooct25]

I sure wish I could find these videos for my son. Although a little scary, they did a great job teaching the alphabet, unlike a lot of "educational" videos now!

[Supageeksupafreek]

the record covers and characters illustrations for this show used to scare the hell out of me when i was 5

[rustyhookman]

Aww :[ When I was in kindergarten, we had a cheap newer version of them. The song was less trippy and more cartoony.

[CFDragon]

I haven't seen this video in 15 years. So much nostalgia.

[ratuse]

The alphabet can be one serious trip man. o_O

[Aremesh]

woah.. this is one of my earliest memories as a kid. it brings me back. kindergarten in 1983... to second grade in 85. super socks, horrible hair. i had the letter people records. i watched these puppet shows, they were on channel 13 in new york when tv was... less evolved

[Msnoneofyobiz]

Wow I never thought Id see the letter people again. I loved this show when I was growing up back in the early 90's. Some of the shows scared me, I think one even made me cry, but I learned from the best. The memories are great.

[ElliRoxx]

I went to Kindergarden in 2001 and we learned the Letter People! My Kindergarden teacher was the best! Mr. M was my favorite of them all! We had the little inflatable versions of them :)

[The1Teela]

I went to Kindergarden way before you, and Mr. M is the only one I remember. The only reason I even thought to look this up was due to mental_floss!

[spike354]

@ElliRoxx yea we had those two they were different from these. they changed them because they thought they had bad influences on kids...

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

I was in Kindergarten ten years ago and I remember this.  This has to be my favorite letter person because my name is Megan.

[spike354]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 yea these were the old (and much better) letter people. Today they are different because for many reasons they thought these ones had bad influences on kids.......

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

Actually my kindergarten class did watch the original letter people.

[Iamb180]

I've heard of the letter people from my younger siblings, but was never formally introduced to them when I was learning the alphabet in school.

Looking at this now, I really feel like I've been robbed.

[aaliyonce]

I sung this song for my 2yr old niece. This is about the 20th time we've watched this video. LOL

[Corntown]

I saw this when I was in kindergarten in 1991. Now when I see it again, I can't help but see why Americans are obese.

Catchy tune though.

[gulfcoastchild]

Wow that was fantastic. I was telling my kids age 6, 4, and 2 about this song and they thought is was hilarious when I sang it. I was in kindergarten in 1978 in Texas City, Texas when i learned this song. Ahhhh the memories.

[Lowcut23]

This was the best thing in kindergarden 89'

[TIBVR]

great funk/fusion music

[badst2507]

Children today can have all the Dora they want...but nothing beats the Letter People! Fav memories of kindergarten back in '89

[retrogrl74]

I had this song in my head today, a memory from kindergarten 1979. I took a chance and can't believe I found it on youtube. Thanks for posting it.

[autistica1]

okay, that proves it, youtube actually has everything. havent even thought about this in 20 years.

[PityOnThePawn]

I just thought about these guys for the first time in YEARS... damn, I miss these guys. J and R and Z were my favorites. *lol* Ah, memories.

[derynhaze]

holy crap i haven't seen this in about 25 years lmao

[ohmygoshitsmedosch]

i watched these in kindergarten!!!

[kd2481]

Man, I sooo loved this dude!! A friend of mine had the whole collection and we would sit and listen to Mr. M for hours!!

[cc10266]

I remember seeing these in Kindergarten.

[frankeecook]

OMG!! I was the only black kid in kindergarden and when they got to M,i would dance my ass off ans sing so loud, lmao..it was the funkiest letter and I would bop my head so hard side to side.Thanks for posting.I always tell people about the letter M.why im a musician today.

[allysonx0kasey]

hah ived had this song in my head all day. when i was in kindergarten we all used to sit on a carpet and color while these songs would play. lol i thought this song disappeared forever ago

[HWISE05]

Anyone else feel slightly dirty after listening to Mr. M sing about his munching mouth?

[lizabeth20091]

yes used to watch these in kindergarden, out teacher had the blow up figures of these guys...it was amazing. and i feel super old now

[TCPMeta]

I remember when I was in kindergarten the teacher would pass around coloring sheets of the letter people. We would watch the show every friday.

[johnissoevil]

I had never seen these videos, however, back in kindergarten and first grade, my teachers would play this stuff on the record player. Mr. M's song is the one I remember the best.

[mgdoran123]

I remember Mr. M. from kindergarten which for me was 10 years ago. Of course I love M because my name is Megan.

[Diskoboy1974]

We watched this in pre-school - around 79. I also had the 45's with all the songs to all the characters. Was kinda pointless, considering I never had a record player as a kid.

Still remember that theme song like the back of my hand.

[fredsavagegarden]

like many of you, i had these video series in my kindergarden class. it really says something that we all not only remember it, but we also remember the lyrics. I guess that really proves these videos work. If I ever have kids, I am showing them the letter people.

[letterpeopleland]

Yesterday, July 11 this video was viewed for the 50,000 time! Thanks to everyone.

[joryoreo]

oh man, watch his hands- theyre life like lol

[joryoreo]

[DarthTwilight]

[pturner561]

Do you guy remember the Number Rock.

[pturner561]

Wow this was some funky shit!!

I'm 26 and I remember this from Kindergarden, Mr. M is the only song I remember.

[Mariesmama]

It kinda scares me that 30 years ago I learned my alphabet by watching these videos in my kindergarten class.

[whatifboy]

i think somebody needs to pop Mr. M's arms back into their sockets lol

[magmanowar]

Munch more mushrooms!

[letterpeopleland]

This was the first episode of the series to air. It was first broadcast on KETC-TV in 1974.

[ANTENT937]

ya you musta seen the video that tells all that. lol

[letterpeopleland]

Considering I'm the one who made it...yes, I'd say that I've more than seen it,

[ANTENT937]

You made this? or just posted it on youtube?

[bluefairyfreak]

@letterpeopleland

And I was in kindergarten and saw it when it first aired! LOLOL!! I'm OLD!!!!

[sawanaki]

how long ago was this

[xlolliqueenx]

OMG! This brings back so many memories of my Kindergarden days.

[dimviesel]

the funkiest letter in all of letter people land.

[ToddCrispies]

for my money, it doesn't get much better than Mr. M performing munching mouth.....

[chicksheldon]

that used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. i was a weird kid. it just scared me. lol.

[RealJSettes88threw99]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm about to cry, this brings back soooooooooo many kindergarten memories!!!!!!!! This was my favorite letter person because my last name starts with an M

[joeyrd1027]

Wow, I haven't heard this since kindergarten. I thought of it yesterday for w/e reason and yeah, wow.

[Xshonda]

OMG i am so glad someone posted this....i remember watching it in 1st grade at school, all the time. I tried telling people about it, and they acted like they didnt know what i was talking about!!...thanks a bunch!
