  • Terry Gilliam eat your heart out

  • Oh I just realized that the pinball visits landmarks of America!

  • I remember as a kid PRAYING that they would show a Sesame Street episode that featured this song and when they did.....oh happy day!

  • Smoking a fat one watching this. 12 hmmmmm

  • Thank you for posting this. I haven't seen it for ~40 years.

  • *Bounces*

  • I sing this in the car on the way to school with my son every day. Had to see if it was on youtube. And it was! Makes me very happy.

  • 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......

  • @junglemuffin it's just your sick mind dude

  • Best steel drums ever? Best steel drums ever!

  • thumbs up if your thinking about family guy

  • @capricornkid123

    Actually I was thinking sesame street..

    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.

  • @TrishaDishaWarEagle lighten up man

  • my child will watch vintage sesame street, thanks.

  • seizures

  • 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

  • this song occasionally gets stuck in my head. out of nowhere. this is why im here watching it again.

  • I could watch this forever!

  • Someone was smoking the good stuff when they wrote this :-)

  • i always loved this damn song, i am 28 and i still love this damn song!

  • love it haha watch it on shrooms

  • This song is STRAIGHT GANGSTA!

  • The one that made this, needs to be seriously high

  • 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"

  • @matthewlmelis True story! LOL

  • This song is pure 70's funk!!

  • i typed in 12 and found this.

  • No other song on any other children's show will ever equal this song.

  • @terrybigteekemp AMEN.

  • Has Anyone Else Got Creeped Out After Watching This At Midnight?

  • ahh... love it

  • Sesame Street got da FONK!!!

  • Great song! It takes me right back to my childhood.

  • I got a 12 on a test a couple weeks ago and this video almost made me cry

  • this seems like a pretty cool pinball game

  • I loved this growing up.

  • i remember this, i cant believe coming back to search this to find that janelle monae used it for her song 'many moons' how amazing

  • some how this song is gonna end up on my ipod

  • As a kid I always wanted to push the button to release that wild marble...

  • THIS WAS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PART OF SESAME STREET

    AND THE FACT THAT KATT WILLIAMS USED IT IN A JOKE AND IT REALLY BROUGHT BACK THE MEMORY

    #GOODDAYS THESE KIDS TODAY DON'T KNOW WHAT TELEVISION REALLY IS

    BETWEEN THE 1960-1990s TV SHOWS WERE AWESOME

  • Teddy Roosevelt swallows balls.

  • Greatest nightmare evar!

  • I totally wanted this game when I was a kid

  • why count to 10 when you can go 2 steps further and count to12 its beautiful

    and it just about puts life in a nut shell .

  • Venetian Snares made an awesome remix of this.

  • 154 people can't count to 12.

  • 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!

  • Wow I had the 2008 like yay me.

  • Maybe people thumbs downed it because it's incomplete

  • 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!

  • MEMORIES!

  • WHO THE FIZZLE clicked Thumbs Down? If I meet you I may need to either hate you or give you psychedelics so you can relive your 70s/80s childhood.

  • My co-workers and I cannot stop singing this song. The 80's rock, and that PDFileKyle is a douche. How can you be bitter about an entire decade?

  • fuck family guy

  • Blast from the Past!!

    Very cool...

  • 150 people where born in the 80's

  • 84!

  • 12 is a good number

  • remeber when the big 12 conference use this song in their comercial good choice

  • They must have played this one quite a bit, because I remember it really well - each scene. Looking at it now, it's really quite the acid trip. LOL.

  • This is so "70s".

  • wat does pinball and the num 12 have in common? on a side note i want that pinball machine.

  • This song actually has some crazy time signatures goin for it. I love Sesame Street.

  • Lurve this song! 11 12!!!

  • 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

  • @jonnydragon0

    Or we'll grow up to be as dumb and senseless as you guys are.

  • @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.

  • @ziggyziggmuff

    Thats like saying that World War 2 copied World War 1.

    Please, give me some examples of how my generation copied the 80's.

    Was it the fact that we were born in the 90's? which actually came RIGHT after the 80s?

    and if you point out any music or fashion trends, I can tell you right now, that those are made popular by people your age, or older.

    oh and just because a couple douches act like Johnny Knoxville doesnt mean we all do.

    you're an ignoramus. through and through.

  • Comment removed

  • sweet bassline

    ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN ELEVEN TWELVE

    this is how i learnt to goddamn count

    90s!

  • @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-

  • anybody have the long version available? I had it but it just got erased unintentionally ... about 3 minutes or so ...

  • good job

  • darnn..i've been looking for this for quite some time. AWESOME!!!

  • the pointer sisters sing this song. June pointer had one of the best female voices ever. RIP.

  • i used to trip balls by watching sesame street

  • WTF! Went from Pinball to Minigolf and back!

  • "I liked it, it was the best thing I've seen in my lifetime! yep", says the lil man!

  • Nostalgia! We were listening to funk as kids without us knowing it..TY Sesame street!!

  • So much drugs was put into this piece...

  • @brentos96 sounds like you have did so much drugs you forgot what was english?

  • D-did the composers of this song never hear of a time signature?

  • @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!
