[TheDuddyDude]

Best age the 80 & 90 not like these days.

i miss the old days.

[hospitaler808]

cunts

[claudiabettina]

I remembered the words to this song. I love this song! I can't believe I found it!! I'm 50 and remember this little show! I'm so happy :)

[dougall3]

I miss back when

[websuspect]

I was on romper room we used to feature this.

[thehippoman1]

:D I remember this.

... And I'm only 16. I used to watch this when I was... 6?

[Torkgasmicgirl8]

I have been asking people at work if they remember this and nobody does! I sang the theme tune to them and they just laughed. I left saying "you'll see...I'll get my proof!" Here it is. I'm sooooo happy!!!

[MrJoeyWheeler]

I'm nostalgic about this and I'm only 15...I found a VHS of this when I was about seven and loved it!

[SuperMitchTV]

I remeber almost evry day I watched this around 3-4 yrs old and I got a cat and named him after this )': I am now 13 and my cat died .. I wish I could go back

[Tyler1169]

i remember when i was 9 waking up before school and watching this every morning

i really miss being little

[MrPrayzor06]

@Tyler1169 When I found this for some reason I teared up and laughed uncontrollably. This REALLY touched me! THIS IS SO AWESOME TO SEE!

[Sheri451]

I used to love watching these Simon cartoons as a child,He was on captain Kangaroo, and every time I see or hear the name Simon, I thought about these cartoons.

[popcornpopper69]

ziggy. I remember that too. Did you live in PA?

[jamnoise72]

That made me cry...wow!! Took me way back.

[dawnsherine]

This was on Captain Kangaroo along with Emily and Bagpuss, another childhood favorite memory

[iAdzy]

I only had vague memories of some programme about a kid with chalk that I used to always watch but never knew what it was then suddenly it came to me today! So weird, haha, im pleased I found it again.

[highheadjester]

Thank you .. I use to watch this on the Great Space coaster : ) Get on board!!!!

[ziggy46scoop]

I'm 46 and I definitely remember this... when my son was born I used to sing the song to him.... awesome! Bring back memories...think this came on Captian kangaroo? If I'm not mistaken?

[hospitaler808]

@ziggy46scoop fuck your son shut the fuck up

[hoghash78]

Simon and I, we are so old now.

What has happened love.

My hands are so old....

[crazykid715]

relax about chalkzone everyone. watch the snl skit, it makes this show a whole lot funnier :D

[spike354]

Chalkzone kicks this British show's ASS.

[sarageorge1971]

I used to love this little cartoon!

[detroitos]

[MrOxygen26]

I wish i have this Chalk .. What will be the first thing to drow? me myself; i'll drow a huge wepon to destry the world .. hhhh .. joking. I think i will drow an iPhone & a new laptop to my GF ... after this i'll drow a car & home and 1 million $ ... dose the banks accept chalk drowing money ??

[ThatsARandomNameman]

chalkzone shits on this.

[Panzeux]

A cock???

[WorldChallenge]

@Panzeux A cockerel.

[EverHurt]

I'm too young to feel this damn old >.<

[OrionSyndicate]

What happens if it rains in the Land of Chalk Drawings? It has been known to rain in England...so I've heard.

[desertstefy]

I have missed this for so long. Thank you!

[1msbeanpie]

Yes pinwheel!!!! It's coming back now:)

[stonethemason]

My wife used to dress my kids for kindergarden while they watched this show. They also watched the Pilis.....they were on Pinwheel. Great song. Thanks for this post.

[BridgetWillard]

I used to love this cartoon!

[EiEiOzles]

Haha CHALK ZONE STOLE THIS!!!

[Dailybabble]

@EiEiOzles Ha,ha, you're a dumb ass no they did not steal it Chalkzone was inspired by Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings. Search before you type about shit you don't know idiot.

[EiEiOzles]

@Dailybabble Ummm I would but I don't have enough time on my hands to sit in my basement and search the inspiration for chalk zone and play video games all day unlike you. Douchebag.

[jimi1234567]

Great stuff from my childhood. Thanks for posting.

[MegaJohnnytv]

this show is like chalk zone

[TheJaredAmanda]

I can honestly say i feel bad for today’s children. They are deprived of all the great television shows we grew up with. I don't mean t brag but i grew up with all the best show, now a days on TV I have no clue what these cartoons are saying because they A) have extremely loud, squeaky voices B) have no lessons and C) No purpose. They should reinstate all these old shows!

[TunclitWeelzebub]

I quite often draw cocks on blackboards too.

[joecoyote42]

simon has been my hero for 30 years or more. I whistle that theme music everywhere driving people mad. Sometimes I even sing it. Thank you for bringing back a smile.

[jpeevy]

I remember this show like YESTERDAY!!! OMG! It used to come on this show called "Romper Room"!

[moxie96]

@jpeevy that's how I saw it too. Our singing lady called irene was on Romper room once back in 1985 or 86

[vaughangarrick]

wow what a flashback to my childhood---those were the days

[Shelly1419]

Love it!! :O)

[RBhappy30]

Wow I cant believe this I found pinwheel and then saw this... I love it !!!!!! Love it Love it Love it.

[slwolfe73]

This goes way back!! But it's still good.

[maestro777CA]

It was good to see this again. It really brings back memories. I just watched it with my kids, my son's name is Simon, maybe his name on some level it has to do with watching this show when I was younger (35 years ago)!

[mrcakey]

Imagination, I remember that!

[lorax10]

I agree. They showed Simon I think on a episode of Sesame Street in the last couple of years. I also saw a episode of Paddington on Sesame Street also when it was originally on NIck and Pinwheel.

[Jaggabone]

I feel retarded just knowing about this show, and less than human for even watching it. That was over 30years ago … and if somone is 21 and remembers this when they where young I feel sorry another generation suffered this show.

[MouseOfVirtue]

I watched this when i was a little girl, I am 21 now, but I still think it's great!

[YumeMirai]

I watched this when I was young, but... I don't remember any of it. The memories are gone. Now it's just... terror. This is frightening.

[Stoneone100]

Thanks for posting! Man I miss this show!

[simplyelegant39]

Wow...I've never ever forgotten about this show...brings back a lot of childhood memories...I'm 40 now, but I'm never too old to reminisce when I was a little girl...Thanks for posting this

[PMeursault]

I always loved the sound of the train, but you only hear a sec of it at 4:06

[EveLang1]

Please, somebody, get this wonderful show onto an official DVD release!

I have the 2 VHS tapes with all the Simnon episodes but video player packed up noiw so can't watch anymore until I come to Youtube.

Thanks for posting. Love Simon so much.

[shenkeey]

the drawing-style scaring the shit out of me

[pogie691]

count chocula

[hayli711225]

wow I used to watch this when I was little:)ty for posting

[aqassab]

I love it 

[WereWolfProductions3]

i cant believe chalkzone was based off THIS! lol

[WereWolfProductions3]

110k views, wow nice! awesome, and old fasioned-like!

[theblue1977]

It just dawned on me that this is what Mike Myers based his Simon skits (SNL) on.

[ABRIGEDPARODY]

this is the start of chalk zone

[chaomaster42]

/i know another series like this but its in color and there is voice acting and the kid usees a chalk board to get to the world of chalk

[CineslingerPictures]

@chaomaster42  the show is called Chalk Zone, I think.

[blaqchocolate]

Wow! I have to say THANK YOU for posting this program...it seems like forever and long ago when I was a child watching this program... Oh how I loved this show, it was almost as if Simon where My friend!!! Hearing the opening music again after all these years brought tears to My eyes..GOD! Just to be that Kid again

[ikhanuk]

excellent work can someone upload the complete one this is so sweet it is still in heart I would love to share this with my children .

God bless you all

[midnightmist1967]

love this 

[TheMidnightRayne]

to cute

[milomoon]

Last time I watched this I was about 8, now I'm 42 ;(

[Kwikkill34]

really 30 years ago? I cannot believe it.

[Kwikkill34]

I remember this on Captain Kangaroo! Wow. Could it really have been 30 years ago?

[oledousd]

I'm 36 years old and I have had the Simon song in my head off and on for many, many years and I never thought I'd hear it again. I just got an inclination to type it in and like magic there it was. Thank you so much!!!!!! It was one of those things that really stuck out in my head after all these years like Wonder Woman's famous spin and the Chips Patrol theme song.

[mojopin70]

@oledousd yeah me too same age i even played this as a punk song in a band never thought id hear it again too

[KerryW79]

HEHEHE, this program is great! I remember watching it when I was a kid! sooooo good! :o)

[RocheBrazil]

a tear comes to my eyes... commence sobbing.

[RACLAX]

OMGGGGGGG, i llllllllllloooooooooved this, we had the video, and we used to watch it alllll the time, every wkend, my brother just played me the theme, and i ws like, omg, omg, wat is tht...simon..simon...SIMON INTHE LAND OF CHALK DRAWINGS!!!!! awwwwwww.....i relly wanna find the video now...

[Reb4sure1]

i REMEMBER THIS SHOW WHEN i WAS A KID I WATCHED THIS AND TODAY'S SPECIAL THE SHOW ABOUT THE MALL THAT CLOSED AT NIGHT AND THE MANNEQUIN CAME TO LIFE AND IF HIS HAT FELL OFF HE WENT BACK TO MANNEQUIN ...ANYONE REMEMBER THAT SHOW

[NewLesbianMom]

@Reb4sure1 the show with the mannequin was called Today's Special. Great show

[audiolabguy]

Thanks for posting, Ive been humming this for nearly 30 years and could never find anybody else who remembered this show!

[lazydreamer76]

nothing can beat cartoons like this of its time; certainly not the crass failures that they show these days. at least cartoons like 'simon in the land of the chalk drawing' was actually educational for children, and not mind destroyers that we see nowadays. this made me so nostalgic. thank you for sharing.

[divinydistant]

I have the largest smile on my face right now. I've tried so many times to tell people about the show and sing the theme and they've all looked at me crazy (nothing new). Thank you so very much for posting this. I feel like a happy kid who has found a treasure!

[JenWinsor]

I've been humming this for years and no one knew where I got it from. I was beginning to think I made it up!

Thanks for proving that I'm not crazy! Haha

[shelly05]

i LOVED THIS i USED TO WATCH IT BEFORE SCHOOL

[Supadave7]

Like everyone else, this theme has been in my head forever. I think my kids would enjoy watching this also.

[bhughs77]

He painted a cock and everyone woke up hahaha

[Supadave7]

@bhughs77 ROFL!

[WinterMoonWillow36]

My favorite cartoon of ALL time (:

[Mascro1977]

the narrator is Donna's Grandfather!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[S1587915G]

A few minutes of this classic is more worthwhile watching than all the stupid anime around today.

[megachopsuey]

We were just talking about this at Nawnie's during Aaron's Birthday Party, Sooooo Coool!

[terratec365]

OMG i've just seen the date - 1974. shit it seems like yesterday. jeez i was 5.

[terratec365]

it's scary when you think how many years ago when it used to be on telly (i'm 41 now). i remembered the theme before i saw it here.

[wilfredn]

I had this song in my head recently too!!! I missed being a kid SOOOOOOOOOO much

[mstrblotter]

I've had this song in my head for years now, if i'd have known it was on youtube all this time i wouldn't seem like such a tard when I start singing it to my girlfriend ( who is 5 years younger than me) and she has no idea what i'm talking about. THANK YOU MOTORCRASH AND YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!

[Damocles178]

Ha I have not seen this in over 12 years. My Granny had a video of it and I used to see it whenever I came over to her house.

[Damocles178]

Watching this makes me feel like I'm sitting in my Grannys house as a little kid again :)

[goldstud]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen this since i was about 5-6 years old, wow, this brings back big time memories, I'm 37 now

[GozerHozer]

Wow im feeling old now, but so nice to see and hear old memorys.

Thanks for posting

[crackythewondertroll]

FUCK YEAH!

[brian112470]

The Captain's on!

[FletcherErnieZoeyMom]

Classic! I miss quality kids shows like this. Thanks for posting!

[vantagestudios]

This aired in the early seventies in Canada when I was a wee one. I haven't seen this in probably 35 years. It's like finding a treasure you thought was lost forever...

[MrFloridasun7272]

I so remember this!!!! LONG TIME AGO!

[stephicool]

OMG i watched this when i was like 5 LOL

[Teknakill]

2:57 - 2:58

Best voice acting ever!

Mike Balt rules (for the song)!

[robken0174]

I agree, hearing this little, simple song was so refreshing! I haven't heard/seen this cartoon since the early 80's when I watched it on Pinwheel. They don't make simple, brilliant cartoons like this anymore. Ahhh childhood.

[gjc82071]

My god I loved this as a kid. Hearing the theme song again game me goose bumps.

[jay007007007]

dude its chrismass just about and i've had this theme song stuck on my head no holiday songs but lalala simon weird...this had to be one of the coolest cartoons ever i guess we are all 5 years old..its good to be young..haha i'm really 40

[MrJoeyWheeler]

My top 4 favourite children's programmes (not in any order as I like and miss all 4 the same)

1) TTTE&F

2) SitLoCD

3) Button Moon

4) Superted

[gymrachel]

wow I remember this, omg blast from my childhood

[karameldreem]

I vaguely remember simon. what channel or show did this cartoon come on?

[TheThreadshitter]

Made in UK for Thames, also seeen in Canada in 1970s on CBC and TVO, in US on Captain Kangaroo. Somewhere I read about also on a Romper Room. US had another narrator, and later reairings in Canada on a cable station used Ernie Combs as narrator.

[jmatts78]

This was one of my favourite cartoons when I was 4/5 years old :D

[Emily41162]

Very cute and innocent song. This was my niece favorite song when she was little at the time.

[crAz3dturtle]

its amazing of some of the things you forget from your childhood. i loved this cartoon as a kid. LOVE IT THANKS for posting this

[mardireid]

this is TRULY INCREDIBLE..I seriously haven't seen this since I was 5 or so and I am 35 now...such a wild ride seeing this AGAIN..THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[tokdl]

I know eh? Same here, it's stunning how just hearing things like this after all these years can spark a blast from the past.

[pasatio]

Oh man, I haven't seen or heard this since maybe 1982???

Been looking for ages...

[lookwhatidid]

i too believed myself to be hallucinating this show. but no its real!

[nganistra]

I've had this tune in my head for 25 plus years and I thought I'd never hear it again. Hearing it again made me happy and very nostalgic. Thanks for posting!

[jaybyvan]

I had the same problem!!! its amazing what you can find on youtube isn't t?

[bkbrom]

@nganistra Me too

[gjc82071]

@nganistra I know the feeling! I remember this show from my childhood, but there are 2 others that for the life of me, I just can't remember the names of. I remember part of 1, I'm pretty sure it was a segment of another kids/educational show (like Sesame St., Electric Co. etc). The words are (sung by multiple children) "It's a big...blue...world....after all...." (No it's not the show "Big Blue Marble") & it showed the earth from space. Does it by chance sound familial? If so, let me know.

[jaydeebee69]

@nganistra : Me too! It would drive me crazy because I only knew the first few words. But I guess there wasn't that much more to it! :)

Got to love the Internets.

[Dulcimerist]

I loved when Mike Meyers "borrowed" the song from this for his "Simon" sketches on Saturday Night Live! :)

[ndnmichele]

@nganistra I felt that SAME WAY! I walk around singing this song...feeling all goofy then thought YOUTUBE IT! WHy not????!!! woo hoo!

[milesofpiles]

oh you know my name is simon......greaat

[phoenixmoon3]

bless u for posting that. I love me some Simon. thank u !

[ILoveEmilee]

I used to watch on both Captain Kangaroo and Pinwheel.

[Meemo12]

mike myers sang this for a skit but instead of saying the sings i draw come true he says i like to do drawings

[boydegg]

Great cartoon. Love the animation style.

[ilovemusic1968]

I remember watching this program, and I wish they would bring programs like this back on television. I believe our children would love shows like this. Thank you for sharing.

[phillydisco]

@ilovemusic1968 several years ago TVOntario did play them again. I don't know if they were popular with kids, but they were certainly popular with me! :)

[Trell7369]

@ilovemusic1968 I agree 

[Infuel]

i am just 18 years old, but i remember watching this when i was very young - my little brother found this and reminded me of this beautiful cartoon - i love it. THANKS

[ticpayne]

This song had been in my head for weeks now. I remembered this but I wanted to see it for myself again. So glad I looked it up. Thanks for posting

[gurendaizer]

Thank you for sharing this animation gem from the glorious 70s. When I saw this, the signature tune made my eyes water. I remember watching this show when I was very young. Now I'm 39. Greetings from Malta.

[xBABAtikiDIDOx]

OMG :O I had completely forgotten about this!! wow, brings back some memories :)

[caperose13]

I haven't seen this or thought about it in 20 years! The second the song started I began to sing along as if it where yesterday! thanks

[JohannaGotTalent41]

Omg I remeber this!!!!

[christmasinjune3434]

omg I remember this one. Fond memories indeed!

[lightning0girl]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for posting this!

[BulletBuger]

I thought I never see this again, thanks for posting it. I forgot about the weird echoing sound effects it used, very cool.

[staybright25]

i use to love this

[paisleypower30]

I had forgotten all about this!

[Brinah]

How many are you are moms and dads? Would you introduce your kids to this show? I'm curious! I would!

[farrahness]

Well, you know my name is Simon! And I like to do drawings!

[megarouge2001]

SNL used the tune and (some) of the lyrics for the intro to Mike Myers' Simon sketches.

[carlaki]

used to watch this at nursery while having marmite soldiers, quickly followed by the programme Handful of Songs...could it be that it was all so simple then??? love it!!

[4gasem]

Awesome!  I just has a flash back to this and jumped on here to check to see if they had them... WOW memories!

[DCProbate]

damn xanax!!!

[lochness350]

ahhhh! The good 'ol 70's!  me in my footie pj's on the couch in the early am!

[mkufl2gd]

I cherish my childhood memories and Simon was part of that. What you see on t.v. today don't compare.

[Morderesh]

i miss this tv show so much it reminds me of a better time

[systemscheque]

I was brought up on this too.

[54spiritedwill54]

I LOVED this show, especially the theme song

[gandyp1981]

ive been trying 2 think of wot this cartoon was called 4 about 2 years... an it came 2 me 2nite...! nice 1 4 posting this.... ur a star...

[pythondalova]

THIS is whats missing for and in todays kids. When we came up these shows were the shows that raised us. Not this Nickelodeon/Cartoon network where cartoons curse.. Brings tears to my eyes...

[FamilyQuiambao]

I totally AGREE!! What the heck are these geius producers and "creative" directors doing!?!?!?!

[ElleChristierson]

Yes,Thank you! I too loved this show and hum the tune all the time. For the past week I have been trying to remember and pow! It came to me, and of course I knew I would find something on youtube ;-)

[WWHysterical]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING ME BACK! I loved this show. And I find myself humming the catchy tune sometimes, but I never could remember the lyrics.. Thanks for posting this!

[Moongazer711]

I cant believe this is on here.....I sing this all the time, I rem watching when I was little on Capt. Kangaroo

[bingenhoover]

I started singing this song at random tonight at dinner, then looked at my hubby and said, "I BET THEY HAVE IT ON YOUTUBE!!!" Thanks so much!

[bexfrmlubtx]

HOLY SHIT, I only knew one person who could go this far back in Nickelodeon times with me...Matt, I hope you have seen this!!!

[whatthe1215]

OMG......this really takes me back!!!

[sharonjsylvester]

this was great reminiscent of the good old days, not so long ago.

[batongirl88]

I guess this is where the idea of 'Chalk Zone' Came from...

[sapphire76]

I watched it on Captain Kangaroo as well.

[UglyFatSewerRat17]

i lol'd at 2:11

[smileyangel75]

i loved Simon. i used to sing the theme song all the time. i got a little teary eyed just hearing the song. it reminds me of so much when i was little. thanks for uploading this. it made my day.

[trolleywire]

Hahahaha...Me too!!!!!!

[WatchMeShred]

Wow, I used to watch this as a little kid

[SkyfireTheFox]

I used to watch this on Pinwheel. It also ran on Romper Room.
