sorry i would rather march to the beat of my own drummer than be a conformist drone. It's too bad we start teaching kids at such an early age that they have to be exactly like the other kids or they'll be singled out as weird.
well frnakly sir i don't see any of them playing any sports they are just playing by themselves the three baseball kids need to start a game and invite football kid
Really negative image of someone who wants to do things on their own terms, David slew Goliath, Alexander indeed.You go get 'em, sunshine. 9 yards? Doesn't belong here? My Aunt Mildred! Give a girl your bat.
I loved this when I was a kid, and it makes a great pop culture reference now, but was this really educational? If a child could understand the lyrics, and actually see the television, how brain damaged did they have to be for the puzzle to be a challenge? Was Sesame Street of the 70s intended for Down's Syndrome patients?
In the 1970s I went to school in Brooklyn with one of the Sesame Street kids. I was in the same class with him from grades 2-5. Funny thing is I didnt know until the 5th grade when the teacher made an offhand comment about him being on Sesame Street. We kids stared at him like he had a 2nd head growing out of his shoulder. That very afternoon I rushed home & put on the tv to Sesame Street. Sure enough, about 1/2 hour into the program, him and his little brother were running around in a segment.
children are supposed to be taught that being an individual is admired, however in this cartoon it teaches the children to do what other children are doing.
@DannyWiganPK In the late 60's and early 70's, when this clip was popular, saying that someone is "doing their own thing" meant that person was far out, groovy, and just more fun than someone who just went along with whatever everyone else was doing. As a kid, I never saw the one "doing their own thing" as the one who "just doesn't belong here" (which is the lyric they use for this clip now, though they no longer use children in it).
was this on Sesame Street? It wasn't like some dude in his basement with a video camera right?

That might work on a parody show for adults, but not on Sesame Street itself (which wouldn't push favoritism for one team/region over another).
