[sideslide23]

Pretending like Airplane and the night sky like shooting stars, I could use a Wish Right now, Wish right now, Wish right now.

[PinknoiseRadio]

I was so happy when I found out Jonathan Richman made this song because I loved it as a kid and as a teenager/young adult I just HAPPENED to become a fan of his band The Modern Lovers :)

[ihsaraaa]

Man, I remember this so well from when I was little. Would see this come on before I went to school and run around in front of the TV, and for two minutes I was really an airplane. xP

[thapoint09]

The plane flying late at night I always found unsettling when I was a kid.

Also wangity-wang.

[Underhill182]

@thapoint09 Funny how much of this stuff seriously weirded me out as a kid

[NessaMode]

[Griddles]

I love airplanes and this video is probably one of my best childhood memories.

But, if anyone knows, what IS that thing at 0:37 ?

[Sky534]

FYI: It was shot circa 1994 - I was there but I don't remember exactly. We shot it in Central Park. It was a fun day - the kids all had a great time so it was easy getting it done.

Hey "m0moira" - I remember you and your orange shirt. You're all grown up now, eh? I also remember you had a really terrific mom...

[m0moiro]

That's me in the orange t-shirt

[pokemon5621]

[pokemon5621]

[fwzzybird]

long live jonathan richman!! :)

[noodle1311]

Wow, I think I just nostalgia'd so hard I died XD

[AllSega]

I think I remember when "I'm A Little Airplane" first aired. One of the clips that was used for a time was the segment snipit with Grover flying in his cute red airplane. It was used to demonstrate "Above & Below". That was a classic which somehow got lost in the shuffle, or they just didn't want to use that one during the song, anymore. I wonder if the full segment "Grover's Airplane" will be rediscovered on YouTube? GROVER: "Let's go see the fluffy white clouds!"

[POTEYE1]

ima little airplane neow neow and waggidy wang waggidy wang

[cyodann]

[rainbowliciouscookie]

This was my fave song when I was little! XD

[southgrl7]

I play this over n over for the kids i babysit and they run around bein lil airplanes. really wears em out! :)

[MisterX867]

0:37 That's a plane?

[StephanieLives]

Yep. That was one of the prototype airplanes that didn't work. (I have no idea what the hell that thing was supposed to do....)

[mogar41]

Lol.

[mike7ace]

I still remeber this exact episode from when I was little, brings back nostalgia

[7D9s1L2]

Man, this song rocks!

[Lynribisi]

Anyone know who is singing in this version?

[bantyeggses]

sounds like Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.

[ddrgeek1987]

wtf is with this waggedy-wag business?

[MiltownPunkette21]

I always thought it was "wangity-wang". Otherwise awesome post!!!!

[StephanieLives]

It is "wangity wang". They Might Be Giants' cover version makes it clearer - Linnell spaces out "wang-i-ty".

[MiltownPunkette21]

@StephanieLives-Hey, thanks for the reply, but I don't think this is the airplane sketch I commented on. Try the one by belinda9696

[Min027]

OMG! This song has been stuck in my head for years!

Such a classic. Maybe I should have it as my ringtone.

[antsamthompson9]

I'd like to see that whole sketch with Elmo at 0:21.

[BuddyBoy600alt]

I remember that sketch. The one that went, "Elmo can fly up high, Elmo can fly down low." That one?

[antsamthompson9]

Yeah. Do you have it?

[muppetlover16]

@antsamthompson9 is that Rick Lyon or Matt Vogel as the lead singer (I can hear Rick when the singer says 'wangity wang' but I can hear Matt too maybe it's both)

[antsamthompson9]

@muppetlover16 I don't know. I'll have to look that up on Muppet Wiki.

[antsamthompson9]

@muppetlover16 It's Jonathan Richman.

[muppetlover16]

@antsamthompson9 John sang this, but I swear I could hear Matt Vogel or Rick Lyon (if I close my eyes I can still hear both of them)

[Nockyout]

I have this song on my MP3.

[Captaingamecube]

wow thanks I can actually remember this from like 20 years ago when I was in kindergarten what nostalga! thanks alex!

[wattamack4]
