Sesame Street - kids playing in the snow

[Charla1606]

Sigh. I miss playing in the snow.

There are actually some militant pediatricians and other arsoholic agenda pushers in Canada who want to enforce helmet-wearing for children tobogganing. Seriously. They call it the 'Noggins And Toboggans' campaign. The world gets sicker by the second while it tries to stay well.

grew up with Canadian winters which my children now have the pleasure of experiencing.  they built a fort in the snow last week. you don't know how much it makes me smile seeing them outside enjoying the snow instead of sitting inside playing video games. the nature that surrounds us keeps them old school. hooray!

[dddsucks]

thumbs up if u love food:DDDDDDD

[CanadaFamilyMan]

If there's 1 thing I've learned in the last 2 decades, it's that no child should be in a hurry to grow up.

[brthdan]

A-Freakin-Men, Canadafamilyman!!

[CanadaFamilyMan]

Thanks! And as this nice video shows, those precious childhood years are the very best.

[Florhusband]

@CanadaFamilyMan Amen to that! Childhood is much too precious, much too short to let it go without enjoying it. Maybe that's why now, when I'm 51 years old, I sometimes stop and watch kids playing and just having a good time. Let kids be kids!!!

Nice Raposo piece!

[444kingtuts]

It sure is cool having these old clip on.

[prasehem]

Thanks for sharing such great memories!We don't get the snow here in Virginia like we use to.

[jtomally9681]

@prasehem Yeah. not like my Dad has told me how it use to be. I'm in Roanoke. what city are you in?

[Lordofjunggle]

Youtube4 is the best.

[mkduyba]

I remember this! Does anyone remember the one where there is a little boy playing on the beach in all the tidal pools with his mom???

[tubricant]

If you're familiar with Joe Raposo's style, it's rather easy to tell which composotions were his. This one particularly rules, and I feel the kazoo work adds that Joe Raposo touch-- while his music is nice, he knows how to keep it silly for kids. If you like this tune, check out "animals fighting on film"; a Joe Raposo jam-classic!

[raposofan]

Flutes and baby bells sparkling atop the melodies is usually a strong hint you're listening to Raposo.

[loikmj]

classic video and that kazoo music with it. i bet that kid in this clip is a professional skier now, he was doing a good job going down the hill.

[sweetrolls]

This is better than the Creepy Toys, Robots and sattlelites

[Brinah]

oh hell yes! waaay better *laughs*

[MeowMonkey]

I respect your opinion, but love the robots and satellite spot. It inspired me to collect old metal wind up toys.

[sweetrolls]

It's almost christmas time!

[dispatcher484]

That kazoo has got to go tho hehe.  And credit to the little kid who skis.

[kingcjulia]

I love this music.

[MacLeaper]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this- I haven't seen it probably since I was a kid. Growing up as a child in a tropical climate, I used to see this and wish I could have a White Christmas like that with snow to play in! :-)

[tpirman1982]

Did Joe Raposo compose the music for this? I haven't seen this one in years.

[thekingof8]

Yes, Joe composed the music.

[mstatz]

I guess you guys are Sesame Street experts. I've seen many segments posted where the person knew exactly what year the skit came out and who composed the music on many short 70's films. How do you know that Raposo composed the music and where did you find out this information?

[thekingof8]

I've heard his music before. It's the style. Did you know he also composed the theme to "Three's Company?" There's even similarities in that theme if you listen closely. I've also watched the show long enough to know approximately when what certain sketch came out.

[mstatz]

Yes, I knew he did "Three's Company".

[Brinah]

wow! i didn't know that! he was a genius!

[Alexsmom]

These old clips are great! Thanks so much for posting them!
