Sesame Street - Somebody Come And play

[TheAurelianeful]

ah nothing like the good old sesame street that most of us here grew up with...love this song i used to sing it back in elementary school

[tootsiepoppin]

this song always makes me really sad for some reason, even though i loveee it. probs nostalgia

[JamJam891]

My favorite part is when the birds start chirping. I loved this show growing up.

[pinocchiofan]

*sighs* If only I'd live on Sesame Street when I was home-schooled (I was lonely, and none of my friends live in my neighborhood)

[Satoshi9801]

This is my favorite version out of all of them of the song.

[boogersismyname]

this is like a creeper song!

[Hinata1632]

ahh..... 12 years ago this was the shit

[toot1957]

My son, who is 28 now, used to sing this when he was 3 years old. He sounded so pitiful, it made me cry!!!

[missmimilove100]

somebody come and play ! Today :(

[diamond887heart]

i thought it was somebody come n be my friends

[saintjasin]

saintjasin has the best version

[extant2001]

I remember after Jim Henson's death, Producers thought about a story in Witch Ernie was going to die, Thank God they decided against it.

[MsPandaRosa]

@extant2001

trouble is, we need such stories so that we can come and play, please come play?

[Theboxofme]

@extant2001 I'm pretty sure that was just a rumor someone just thought up

[grapebuy789]

@extant2001 That's scary. I mean Ernie dying? What would happen to Bert?

[razorramone63139]

I feel like this every Friday night. I'd play with ya, Ernie!

[hermanandmaxwell]

I WANNA PLAY WITH HIM!

[bolobeardog]

Its so nice .........

[asdfghjkl10cat]

Good times i remember

[elmo24ism]

l think this song is used alot mostly on "play with me sesame".

[TheWannabeMuppets]

I'm 14 and I love this show! I watch it when I get time. And for all those Ernie fans out there, Ernie will return in season 42, performed by good ol' Steve Whitmire!

[MuppetVoicesAndMore]

@TheWannabeMuppets Good to know! Thanks for the info :) I love Steve's Ernie!

[ryansmellsbad]

No idea why this song popped into my head today,

but glad it's on the net to listen to.

[FrancileneFonseca]

This morning, at school, I remembered that song ...

And this afternoon, I saw that video on TV in Portuguese (and was hoping to be a good version, and it was!)

And I cried! Give a willingness to go play! But the only thing I can do is sing .... I love Ernie and I really really love this song and several others with him!

[Platypus929]

I am 17 and I don't care how old you are

[jenaycm09]

I still watch this show from time to time. Its funny to me, and Im 14 for goodness sakes, rotfl.

[Lordodragonss]

@jenaycm09

I am 20 and I still enjoy this!

[MsPandaRosa]

@Lordodragonss

I am 52 and STILL enjoy this.

[ACharliefan]

I'm an adult and I still love this song. Anybody know where I can download this song for free?

[ManySadSmiles]

hehe i rmbr this and i still enjoy hearing it..:P

[jstar6026022]

i like watching things like this because it takes me back to a time when life wasn't so.. hustle-bustle.. good times

[jvfunn3000]

I'd go and play with Ernie because I'm his #1 FAN!

[melindanjim]

i remember this. was this a real song or am i really remembering the tune?

[MrChristopherGraham]

Check out a newer version of this song by Darlene Graham and the Shades of Green band by searching Darlene Graham.

[anne1026]

Did anyone else find 2:20 exceedingly hilarious? I love this song, always puts a smile on my face =)

[bdj567]

@anne1026 i do

[zoomb22oo7]

Hi does anyone know which sesame st dvd has this particular clip in it?

[PhillyRomantic]

This song makes me smile

[TerryLeeForevernever]

i wish i could find the version from my album growing up of a little girl singing it.

[sw33tstrawb3rri3s]

i love this song...

[grapesofwraith1066]

I love it - and Ernie! Though I think the original version had a more melancholy aspect to it.

[wesley16555]

ill play with you ill bring my foot ball =]

[CrazyGamerDragon64]

Didn't Big Bird sing this song once too?

[midnightwolf1000]

love you ernie!

[Flametix]

I won't come. Or play. Or smile teh smilez. BAH WHO CAREZ ABOUT YOUR SONG.

[TheQc7]

chirp a chirp chipee chirp chipidy chirp

[jamilladevries]

hasn't he got kermits voice?

[musicncomedyfreak]

@jamilladevries he has kermit,s voice because both muppets were voiced by jim henson

[AbdullahShabazz]

A very nice song!! So simple, but so lovely.

[plox4mage]

original is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

[Br3ana2008]

I love this song

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol

[frazypeeps]

wow, that was ONLY the 30th season?

well, ernie's great. i just think that it's kind of weird that the second he notices no one is there he breaks into song. like high school musical. MAYBE he could have looked around for his friends? i'm sure they were somewhere... that wasnt specifically there. so... good job, ernie! :P

[Sparkylilguy4u]

This melody is absolutly adorable. It instantly brings back awesome childhood memories x') I love Ernie!!

[cristianrockerchick]

[genchandy]

Ernie is so sweet!

Me love him to bits!

[Ruldolphmaker]

Nonstalgia

[ScarlettOBeara]

He wasn't friendly, that Squirrel was abusive!

[PandaMishima]

Ernie still took it in a good spirit anyway.

[LeoMidori]

...Okay, this is really immature, but I could've -sworn- those birds were saying 'derp' instead of chirping. XD

[Mahogany1974]

Your not the only one notice that the birds said derp I notice that too.

[PandaMishima]

You know, it sounds, sort of...

[stephenbowman18]

i have no one to talk too rite now.

[jvfunn3000]

Ernie's the MAN!

[HahaNiceTryXoXo]

Wow this reminds me of simpler timess.....i still love this song.

[cscentrlTV]

I feel you there man. This song really does that. :)

[Chaingang9971]

Only If times were simple it would be the best

[emoempress]

thanks Cookiefan1876!

I could remember the animals in the background just not the singer.

Thanks for informing me. Love the original version. Will look it up now :)

[carson08022000]

this is from play with me sesame

[emoempress]

who actually sang this song originally? i really want to download it and use it for a slideshow with my dog (all he ever wants to do is play!) :P

[snowyprinc3ss]

Aww cute

[pattypopping]

Thats NOT Jim Henson, you can tell., Its Steve Whitmire.

[TheBritishGothic]

Yeah, there was a huge difference...But steve's ernie sounds good anyway! :)

[cindylou7363]

adrcru..why don't YOU go and play with Ernie? lol

[adrcru]

[auhsoj58]

@adrcru I don't know where sesame street is.

[Megs9169]

I remember this, from when i was really little, I could remember almost every word, this is a very peacful cute song song by the loveing Ernie, I really enjoy it

[MasterTainment]

2:22

Ernie: What....the....F***....

[StefanoFan27]

Cute.

[finnishminnow]

What a nice song sung by Ernie!

[WildHoneyPie4]

This song was used in our school's production of "The Caucasian Chalk Circle", but it was the version with Big Bird and the kids. Because of the show, this song has been stuck in my head all week. xD lol

[lildremckoy91]

i always came to tears when this song played when i was little

[bowesy123]

OMG no way i remember this song when i was little :(

[degrassifreak4321]

Thanks for posting this awesome videos

[poshbah]

its not fair these oldies should be on cds so i can tease my friends, maybe theres a fan club for season 69-92.

[cscentrlvideos]

This is a more upbeat version of the original which was rather melancholly but innocent.

[jerhouck]

AT SONG COME AND PLAY

[melissa3289]

i had the other two versions or i guess three versions of this song the original the kids singing it and big bird i didnt know ernie sang it too thanks for posting!

[voicetube]

This version ain't bad (FUN!) but my all time favorite is the one with the kids singing -- wish they had that one on iTunes!

[neocelestia]

I normally don't like Steve Whitmire's Ernie, but I think he did an excellent job with this old classic tune! ^_^

[dollartornado]

I agree, and it's making me realize that perhaps it isn't so much Whitmire's fault (he's no Jim Henson, but he does an admirable job trying to fill such impossibly huge shoes), but it's the writing and the music that in recent years pales so miserably in comparison to the old days.

[realmofdreams]

It's Steve Whitmire, not Whritmare... But thanks a lot for posting this charming version of such a sweet song.

[melissa3289]

how can you not like ernie???

[mosamo28]

i love this song

my favorite 4rm semame street

[finnishminnow]

Mine too.

[raakone]

I like this song. It's a good Raposo song. It was even covered on a Canadian show, "The Elephant Show."
