you have to remember the 80s and understand the Madonna thing. She didnt used to be a charicature like she is now. We loved her for pushing the boundaries and giving us catchy music even as we watched her videos and guiltily wished we dared dress like that
When i was little I saw this then heard the real version... I had a HUGE argument with my mum about which one was the original, in the true little kid style of 'whichever i saw first must be right'
I knew it was the parody of "Material Girl" even when I was a kid. As for the song being about breakfast, it's a good thing there weren't any assassins in the skit. Otherwise, they would've been "cereal" killers. LOL!!! Get it??
I have a horrible condition where my gag reflex is very sensitive. The only health foods I can eat are apples, bananas, and on occasion garbanzo beans, and everything else is junk food. It guarentees a life that may not be very long unless I'm extremely lucky, and this video kind of upsets me, because I can't eat cereal. Other than that, it gave me a chuckle. Sesame Street rules, but the healthy food messages often depress me. I wish I could eat healthy food and live long...
LMAO. I remember this! Gotta love the dance & dog @ (0:37). Sesame Street songs of the 70's, 80's, & early 90's aren't just classics..they're historical!
This song was pretty much my introduction to the world of parody. Since then I've loved the parody genre and I've always remembered this song from Sesame Street and held it in high regard. It's great seeing this again and reliving the memories once more.
Even when I saw this as a child, I was like, "isn't that a remake off some pop song?"
And years later, when I became obsessed with Madonna (still am), I jumped up, having realized it, and screamed "AUGH! IT'S MATERIAL GIRL CEREAL GIRL!!!"
wow I just sudenly felt liek searching this as it came is my head yet again. Been about 10 years since I last saw it but remember most of it still. =p
a parody of Cindy Laupher Material Girl great this is what makes older people watch and enjoy and parents want to watch along with their younger children.
The backup singers are awesome!

At two points she sings a word which sounds like helpful/helpfully, but I am guessing this is "heathful" which must be US English for "healthy"?

"Healthful" is a rarely used synonym of "healthy." US English uses "healthy" in most cases.
