Sesame Street: Mary Had a Little Lamb

[kevnar]

Kermit needs to sue. He's the one who really wrote that song. Don Music violated his intellectual property rights.

[Deusex63]

how can a little kids song become a jazz song?!!!!!!

[TriforceBoy23]

@Deusex63 Sesame Street, that's how.

[Granitoons]

I wonder if Don Music was a pun on Don Messick?

[chriskarickhoff321]

Go to 2:01 its so funny!!!

[timepoet77]

Let's face it, people. Jim Steinman he isn't. But it's still funny. His head-banging on the piano is a classic in itself.

[sha11235]

Good thing Miss Piggy didn't exist here. She would've kicked Don's ass for yelling at Kermit like that.

[CashClownful]

Kermit's face kills me @2:02 

[sha11235]

I just noticed Kermit isn't happy with the final punchline but then Don says he likes it. I wonder if Kermit was anticipating Don yelling at him again?

[sha11235]

Today he'd just commit suicide.

[sha11235]

I love how Kermit is acting out as he is reciting the songs. Shows he is an actor.

[robertowatsiano]

i show this to my daughters when they have an eppy.lol

[mcpeanutful]

Why does Don Music speak like Pepe Le Pew?

[Granitoons]

@mcpeanutful He doesn't. Pepe has a French accent.

[MrMetalmanRock]

Here's how my part of the skit that I made up goes.

Don Music: I need a word that rhymes with snow and something that lambs do.

Kermit: Gee, Don. I'd sure like to help you, but I have a dinner date with Miss Piggy, so I really should go.

Don Music: That's it! Go rhymes with snow! Oh, thank you!

Kermit: Anytime.

[averypack13]

Don: Oh, I'll never get it!! Never!! NEVER!!

**BANG**

Kermit: Well, you'll hurt yourself in the head there, Don....er...

[sleepysheep67]

When I was little I remember watching this on the VCR and Don scared the shit out of me.. I don't know why but it did... Lol

[ALF5611]

CRAZY HAIR POWERS GO

[sha11235]

You can see the rods on Don's arms.

[Virchew]

@sha11235 I don't think they were hiding them

[sha11235]

Don: Lambs aren't yellow. I mean WHOEVER HEARD OF A YELLOW LAMB?

Kermit: Well, I've heard of a yellow lamb.

Don (excited): You have?

Kermit: Well, not many.

[HeadmasterAutobot]

CANARIES AREN'T BLUE!

[ebonygentleman79]

This classic clip makes me smile. Jim Henson was such a master. To make Kermit sneer at 2:03 was just a piece of comedic beauty. God rest your soul, Mr. Henson.

[MsTheCommentator]

hahahahaha, Kermit's reactions in this are priceless! Especially @ 2:03 and 3:08 . XD

[mattshane]

This is completely accurate to the writing process. I tried making a electronic version of Mary had a little lamb on my channel.

[MileyMandy1117]

I Remember this I was 5 I had no clue what he said but I thought he had a bug on his head and tried to swat it away.

[pmyodb1]

How many bottles of aspirin does Don Music go through to be able to complete a song? LMAO

[Paigeshusband]

My little brother used to do that all the time. If he didn't get his way, or couldn't figure out the problem, he'd bang his head on the floor. Still tease him about being a Don Music protege`

[studentjohn36]

I love Kermit's tiny 1950's-vintage ribbon microphone!

[musicforlife70]

omg i miss kermit so much seaseme street is just plane creepy now so are all the other shows like blues clues and big confey couch

[NeoDeath90]

My mother has a piano in her daycare center. I constantly imitate this for the children.

[1994iluvbruno]

best song ever!!

[rnrmatthews]

He can't think of 'GO' because he keeps smashing his head on the piano. Hahaha

[WWEChampion16]

The infamous Don Music, who is responsible for it's viewers imitating him by banging their head on the piano. As a result he was imediatley taken off the show.

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

@WWEChampion16 Gotta love the PC police - NOT!

[icameinlate2]

3:07 ROFLMAO OMG HAHAHAHA

[TheSlammurai]

"BUT CANARIES AREN'T BLUE!!!"

"Nyurrrgh!"

I lolled so hard at that

[icameinlate2]

@TheSlammurai ROFLMAO

[redvain]

lol where the ass the back up singer came from

[CaptMARNEY]

@redvain Yeah Kermit usually says something along those lines when the Alphabeats burst into the house

[muppetfan33]

@CaptMARNEY Actually, in this one, it was the Monotones, only without Little Jerry.

[CaptMARNEY]

@muppetfan33 Boy you know your stuff!

[MrTornado300]

You probably have alzheimers if you can't think of GO!!!!!

[TheCountessMIM]

Hey Don, SLOW rhymes with Snow lol

[mythbusterloverlindy]

let's think about it dumb- i mean don :)

yellow lamb :)

tee hee

[mythbusterloverlindy]

let's think about it dumb- i mean don :)

yellow lamb :)

[jimrundown]

Don't worry youngsters, I'm 35 and watch this stuff!

[moxie96]

Is Don music a cousin of that ill fated newsreporter from the muppet show?

[HCShannon]

@moxie96 Probably, but it should be noted that Don is a golden-orange Anything/Whatnot puppet, which is also what Guy Smiley is.

[J0LaPi]

Don Music is the greatest! No mistaking his influence in my latest video...

[JonnyAMax]

I remember watching Don as a child and his head banging on the piano would get me everytime... and it still does! XD

[tgstock1]

Kermit's face when he says:  "It doesn't have to sound like snow!" is priceless.

[momzidu]

i had my kids watch this, they rolled in laughter at how kermit changed the entire song. it's so amazing that i can share a part of my childhood with my own children and they loved it too as much as i did!

[katinaanimator]

This piano player was always my favorite character on Sesame Street!

[WolvesAreWild]

Don, you have serious problems if you cant think of GO! XD

[TheSlammurai]

@WolvesAreWild Kermit has a problem too if he can't think of a rhyme that makes sense.

[Virchew]

I'm 21, in college, and I'm watching Sesame Street videos on youtube. Sesame Street is and will always be EPIC!

[panda374]

@Virchew Hey dont feel bad about that I am almost 40 and I do the same thing. Do you remember a cartoon called the shirt tales? I watch them all the time.

[Virchew]

@panda374 Oh wow! I didn't remember the name of it but I just searched it on youtube. Nostalgia times 10! lol Thanks for reminding me about it.

BTW Granimals definitely stole their idea from the Shirt tales haha

[corgilover1001]

@Virchew ur not alone im 25 and still watching this stuff lol

[preplocc]

@Virchew here i am,too.... always bro,always a classic.... one life. but never forget the past....

[CodenameSailorv1]

@Virchew

I'm 25 and still find this hilarious!

[colinmaharaj]

@Virchew

I'm 41 the S.S. still rocks!

[Flecki49]

xD A rhyme to snow, it must be what lambs do... run!

Can´t stop laughing^^

[PuddingPerson713]

i remember watching this when i was little

[WolvesAreWild]

Mary had a little canary it was bluer than the sky, and everywhere mary went. The canary was sure to fly. BUT CANARIES AREN'T BLUE! lol.

Don, give mary a bicycle.

Mary had a little bicycle it was painter red as fire. and whenever mary wanted to take a ride, the bicycle had a flat tire

LMAO! =D

[karolynruffin1]

We moms just naturally get concerned when he bangs his head like that. The clip has always made me look up for a telephone book to find a name of a good psychologist for Mr. Music. Even when I was a child, i would think,

What has happened here?

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I loved this as a little girl, and I still do. I've always enjoyed the part where the Monotones come in to sing backup for Don. I still think this is the funniest of all the Don Music sketches.

[toonsem]

I watched this a very long time ago. I always laughed like crazy whenever he banged his head on the piano.

[72Tmarie]

AHH hahahaa  FAB!!

[jojotreena]

I swear is it just me or does everytime he hit his head on the piano it takes him a little longer to get up? hes suicidal.... 3:16 - 3:25 I love how hes like "yes..?" like YOU JUST BANGED YOUR HEAD ON THE PIANO FOR THE LIKE 8th TIME does it not hurt?

[72Tmarie]

@jojotreena aint that the truth!!

[beavcoon4444]

sesame street nevr gets old lol

[shinygem91]

This was one of my most memorable and favorite Sesame Street moments! I loved this sketch when I was a kid, and I love it now. :) It's just sooooo funny and genius! Only problem was that when I was young I imitated Don Music's headbanging on my family piano...and my Mom never realized why I did that until I told her just recently. ^___^

[mwermuthland]

This is one of Don Music's best sketches.

[kissmebaby341]

i love this clip brings back such good memories !!!

[normantweeter]

Wow, the same Children's Television Workshop that thought that Cookie Monster is a bad example by only eating cookies (changing his diet to veggies) is now putting up a clip that was taken off the air because it has a man bashing his skull into a piano. Real consistant guys.

[newdayrd]

Oh my gosh!!!! I always loved this guy I haven't seen this since was little. My niece is just cracking up lol

[raider8sox]

That mustve hurt, when he banged his head on the piano, hahahaahaha:)!!!

[MADMISERABLEMIKE]

WHO IS THE GUY WITH THE GLASSES

[videoguy100]

@MADMISERABLEMIKE This is Don Music.  I like the way how he bangs his head, especially when he gets frustrated.

[Lordodragonss]

I lol'd on Sorry Ludwig ;]

[dancechick86]

I believe this is Richard Hunt and Jim Henson. Love Muppet News Flash!!!

[penguins108]

I think this is a good video for preschoolers and such to watch, Don does have a good singing voice i think.

[wattamack4]

Whoever heard of a YELLOW LAMB?????

[hoopersghost]

Watching this thirty-odd years later, it seems ironic that Don had trouble with that sky/fly rhyme; Bert parodied the same nursery rhyme as "Mary had a little pigeon" last season, using the same rhyme but never naming the pigeon's color.

[mr3urious]

"BUT CANARIES AREN'T BLUE!!!" XD

[brianklick]

Oh but that doesnt ryhme with snow it must sound like snow!

It doesnt have to sound like snow

Of Course it Does!

NO IT DOESNT!!!!!

OHH

[antsamthompson9]

I like Don's singing voice. It reminds me of Gladys the Cow.

[jr52990]

haha .... you know the reason they kicked the pino guy off was because children would emulate him banging his head on the piano.

[wileyk209zback]

@jr52990 I can picture it now: "Oh I'll never get it, oh I'm sorry Ludwig, OH!" *BAAAAANG!*

"Hey, let's bang our heads!" *BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Don Music was one of my favorites

[JayRellBurks]

nice

[CadillacL]

I loved Don Music. Can you imagine how many of us kids, hit ourselfs in the head w/a piano LOL.
