Sesame Street - Cecille sings "I Wanna Be Me"

[LouisSirens]

"They say I should be green or yellow". Whoever wrote this song must be a John Deere fan!

[Nanabobo]

If only animators these days put as much time into what they do as they did back then, maybe we'd have CG cartoons that weren't sickening to watch.

[petroc6]

AND cecile too.

[petroc6]

elmos great!

[NutsOGlobin15]

Yup! Cecille looks kind of like a Portal Turret at 0:09. Now if only she could fire deadly bullets...

[Mechanicaldrugs98]

for some reason as a child I wanted to eat her. she had a nice complexion she seemed very ...JUICY

[coolio6100]

ok i just HAVE to say this cos of an urge i have...if u can turn into anything u wnt can u turn in to a penus?

[DakaiMusic]

word

[thetoolbox112394]

i love the guy singing at the beginning, especially when he says "WOAH!"

[otmq]

the only thing I remember is the trippy organ lick, I love the music in these things!

[afrox]

I remember Cecille! Oh god, such a vague memory but still there!

[memet358]

this is kinda random but all racists can homophobes need to watch more sesame street. they could really benefit from the teachings that 6 yr olds get

[ollieferral]

it looks like a fleshlight

[LordNeb]

rofl!

Kid's, don't ask!

[acerflots]

Perfect!

who knows what follows on this song? the 6 handsome guys?

[proclaimer500]

i totally forgot all about this. it's bringing back some memories from when i was really young lol!

[tunkabeantans]

omg I Loved this!!!

[coondogtheman1234]

this is so awesome I used to sing the intro to these clips a lot, anyone got any more cecille clips?

[agmdam]

0:10

looks lika a portal turret

[leakesonasucs]

clay animation and wahts the point of this song teaching this to kids of being themselves if they don't get it and confuses them, especially the ones who are disabled or can be confused easily.

[acerflots]

you confuse me

if they dont get it (chances of that are very small) theyll enjoy it.

[acerflots]

and i would like to add to my previous comment that especially the disabled would appreciate and need this message

[chaojimbo]

I like "Im gonna get to you" the best from cecill

[cecillelover]

Me, too!

[RedLightBulbs]

Oh Cecille, you're always turnning into other stuff. You can't be that happy being you.

[greenth1ng]

Does anyone have the lyrics from 1:05 to the end?

[cecillelover]

Turn plaid, striped or spotted, Dress your yourself in filigree, OW! Well, I know they are trying to help me, but hey, I'm happy being me! I Want To Be Me! Yes, I Want To Be Me! Hate bragging but, gee, this ball that you see. That's exactly who I want to be! I'm orange and well-rounded! I'm proud and I'm free! Happy as a clam that I am, what I am, I Want To Be Me! Happy as a clam that I am, what I am, I Want To Be Me!

[Pf9ThePikachuLover1]

Turn plaid or striped or spotted, get yourself in filligree. But I know

[Jennennett]

it does not

[klaatu42]

Ugh. New Sesame Street sucks. The only good Sesame Street was old school. If you didn't wake up screaming in the middle of the night, haunted by some abstract vision of circles, rocks, or blobs working out a puzzle to Moog music, you didn't get the real Sesame Street experience.

[MarshalGrover]

Today's SS doesn't suck, you're just one of the many people who grew up watching the old show, and the current one just pales in comparison to your memories. If you just look at what Elmo's NOT in, you'll see it's just as great as ever.

[punkinhead131]

right on klaatu42, every once in awhile i see a counting song or animation from when i was a kid, but not very often....

[thetoolbox112394]

@klaatu42 or if you weren't scared to even move your mouse over a youtube video of the calypso beat credits.

[emtyhanded]

i miss this thing.. although now looking at it, i dont see any educational purpose.. just a singing blob

[MarshalGrover]

The song is supposed to teach about being yourself.

[rosemontag]

Oh this takes me back.

[jady121584]

u know what...there is so much wisdom in this...if people watched this vid (myself included) and took in the words to heart in a major way... Prozac would be made obsolete.

[kimbooley90]

This used to freak the hell out of me when I was a kid.

[musichider]

That video used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid.

[Jennennett]

yes

[badkittiecece]

What is Cecille? a singing orange?

[wickett55]

I remember I used to love this thing.

[amykaniewski]

OMG I totaly remember this!

[glowworm2]

Thanks again!
