Speaking as someone who grew up on Sesame Street, this is absolutely incredible. Song selection clearly picked for the parents (or grandparents even - gah), perfectly fine for the kids.
And the perfect segway for you to say to your kids "You know, I have that guy's music, you wanna hear it?"
@DivineNails1 I didn't mean to vote this comment down as a dislike. I thought the video was incredible and very funny! "Hey Look! A MONSTER CAME ALONG AND ATE MY RED "2"!
LOL!! I JUST WATCHED THIS TODAY WITH THE EPISODE IT WAS IN FOR AN HOUR JUST TO SEE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER , THE COOKIE MONSTER, AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING HE WAS FEATURED IN!! >:( D:
I used to really like Elvis Costello... Now I LOVE him. Awesome. :) Apparently there are 41 red-two-eaters out there that don't like to be called monsters.
why has no one questioned why these idiots are asking for porn from the sesame street channel when they could go about half the internet 'round for it in other places? btw this version of the song is adorable...
I love Elvis' impish grin at this start of the song, and I bet that Dexter and Frank are loving that they can see and hear their Dad on Sesame Street!
