While I'm glad Sesame Street didn't change the song, I don't really care much for the modernized version when compared with this classic. It just looks like Sesame Street is trying to emulate Toy Story (can't say I'd blame them with the success of the franchise).
There is no substitute for the original; makes me want a SkyRail set (Quercetti). Maybe that's what Sesame Street should have done: keep this original pinball design, and CGI that instead of trying to copy Toy Story.
This song was SOOOO COOOL, when I was 5 (1985)... and my parents raised me on Jimmy Cliff, Marley, Simon & Garfunkel, all the GOOD SHEIST... But Sesame Street taught me how to properly be a GOOD NEIGHBOR!! I will FOREVER, TREASURE, SESAME STREET!!
Is it just me, or are there some very dodgy things in that video?
The phallic like tower with 2 round arches shooting a ball into the guys mouth... The ball going into the hole and then a white stream spurts out......
family guy is by no means the end all be all of cartoons..the writting has really started to suck , much like the simpsons did after 7-8 years..but in a much more pronounced manner. And, now that stewie is more fag than fiend, its just lame. Fart and poop jokes can't carry a 30 minute show..we have robot chicken for that.
Classic .... U still think about this song /video today when teaching ..many think im crazy when tell them about the #12 pinball machine.. Thank you youtube
Go into any crowded place in America and sing, "1-2-3-4-5...6-7-8-9-10," and I guarantee you get at least one person responding, "11-12... doo doo a dooya da"
Why do I know this? I feel like there's a gap in my childhood memory but I recognize stuff when I see them again. Like when this video was parodied in Family Guy.
My family always wonder why I'm just a kid, yet I dress, talk, and act like I'm from the 1970s. I show them these videos and they say, "Wow, that is OLD SCHOOL!" xD
Trust me, every day I have to watch the new Sesame Street with my 4-year-old cousin. It is HORRIBLE. If I dressed and acted like young teens my age today, I'd go crazy!
i was just sitting around with my sisters and i was trying to tell them the two things on seseme street that stuck with me the clearest in my memory from when i was little. it was this, and the one of bert and ernie in egypt. where bert leaves and ernie sings the rubber duckie song with the ernie-pharaoh. i was glad to find this easily so i could show them!
Oh my god, why aren't we all on lsd right now from this. How did we ever grow up properly.. Kids today should have this stuff, maybe they'd grow up with a bit of sense lol
@PDFileKyle I'm pretty sure you guys are the dumbest generation this planet has ever seen. Atleast we were original. You guys are just copying the 80's and acting like johnny knoxville all the time.
@morvelification Me to :D. Ah the good ol' days when cartoons weren't so explicit like on Cartoon Network. What ever happened to stuff like 'Reading Rainbow' or Between the Lions? -sigh-
@teethofghosts Yes, indeed they have. That's why they are masters of the mixed meter. Something for, you know, this century, instead of just repeating what's been done in the past. The time signature is: 7/8 7/8 4/4 6/8 4/4 3/8 4/4 7/8 4/4 9/8 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 2/8 7/8 7/8 4/4 7/8. Thanks for asking!
They (Family Guy people) should've done the full version like this one for Stewie.
