[hijab1406]

Down Below The Street

i was just a kid

[freshPrincess626]

whoa, i literally haven't seen this in years, and randomly found it just now, but it feels like i just saw it last week. aahh, early 90s childhood...

[Khrystan]

I'm 22 years old, haven't seen Sesame Street in two decades, and while in the process of packing to move this song randomly popped into my head and I have no idea WHY after all these years, surprised I even remembered it let alone had i pop into my head, so I had to come find it! LOL I miss these silly songs

[leoconvoy]

This is Force MD's if I'm not mistaken.

[D2Kprime]

@leoconvoy : Thanks for the info. I knew they looked familiar but I could never put my finger on who they were.

[tori0083]

wow...i'm 27 and this song brings nothing but a big smile of nostalgia to my face, lol. whenever I come to watch this video, i ALWAYS play it at least 3 times haha, i'm such a big kid, but i miss those times

[MarioZoneAlt69]

Down below the street...

Can you dig the steady beat, it's a SUUUUBWAAAAY!

[jbzhummerh2gamer]

(: Good Times! :)

[TheDramakiddo]

WHAT.NEVER MIND THATS NOT TAKE SIX

[TheDramakiddo]

wow.IS THAT TAKE SIX?

[TheDramakiddo]

wow.IS THET TAKE SIX?

[jarbon5]

What a wonderful way to learn what's below the street:)

[doctorpsycho1960]

One of my kids heard this when he was three and went crazy about "down b'wow wheet". We couldn't walk past a grating or water meter without his taking a look, and he went crazy when he saw a crew working on a manhole. Once I said, "You could have that job when you grow up", and one of the crew said, "The last time someone pointed me out to their kid, it was to say, 'Study hard or you'll wind up like him'." I told him we respect the people who keep civilization going at our house.

[ZenDeividdo]

@doctorpsycho1960 people like you are really the only ones that give me any hope in humanity... there are so many people out there who take waste workers, window washers, painters, custodians, construction workers, landscapers etc. for granted even though they're the ones who work really hard for our needs/conveniences. Great to know some people out there still actually appreciate the HARD work they do!

[Smartboy8877]

@ZenDeividdo

I would say that the lesson that you spelled out for us was very well demonstrated in "Animal Farm"! Any thoughts anyone?

[ZenDeividdo]

@Smartboy8877 Whoa... I haven't read that book in ages; thanks for the excellent observation! Now that I think of it, what I posted reminds me of when Major said his dying words at the very beginning. I wasn't even thinkin' about that at the time. I gotta see if I still have my copy of it; it was such an excellent read (even though it's super-short.)

[Smartboy8877]

@ZenDeividdo

You are right about "Animal Farm" being super-short! It is less than a hundred pages. In any event, thank you for your insightful response!

[Alliworks]

i don't mean to bring race into it, but one of the things that i really appreciate was that soooo many talented and respected black people have appeared on the program thus children grow up with a balanced view of other ethnic groups. this show reached an international audience in a way other programs dont...all kids programs today could follow sesame streets example.

[doctorpsycho1960]

@Alliworks So true. People are quick to say that minority kids need to have role models who "look like them", but I think it's actually a bigger benefit to children of the dominant group to learn, from an early age, to take it for granted that talented and authoritative people might be of any race or background.

[Bigben1984]

this guys would sound awesome if they sung "Come and go with me" by the Del Vikings

[atlanta4950]

8-year old Stephanie Tsoflias used to watch Sesame Street.

[philcornwell]

It's not Take 6. It is not their style, it's harmonically far less complex and it's 5 people, none of whom are members of Take 6.

[dondonp12004]

@philcornwell Three words for you: 14 Karat Soul.

[BeatlesAmiYumi]

I always had, and always will love that number! That song was one of my favorites!

[KairuHakubi]

I remember finding this so boring because they'd repeat it so much,.. but it's so memorable XD

[dogkelp]

Kind of retro for 1990, but in tune with the Boyz II Men wave around then.

[Morty340]

LOVE this song segment!

[BabyFaceJuz23]

I remember this song in the 90's lolz i been lookin 4 this song 4 years i love this song wen i was a kid every time it came on i was scream and turn it up lolz i'm 23 lolz i love this song still young at heart lmfao

[geddyleesays]

@BabyFaceJuz23 I hate how you type. God damn it.

[BabyFaceJuz23]

I remember this song in the 90's lolz i been lookin 4 this song 4 years i love this song wen i was a kid every time it came on i was scream and turn it up lolz i'm 23 lolz i love this song still young at heart lmfao

[ZenDeividdo]

I actually really like 14 Karat Soul's other stuff too! Acapella FTW!

[redfox409]

Thet foefot sewer rats

[CarbonColossus]

this aint take 6 but they still are good....

[jtomally9681]

A lot of people are saying that songs like this was stupid for kids by people who can't sing or teach. Bull Pucky! I have always loved these guys and this is way better than anything that "no talent Miley Cyrus" ever did.

[scarface63082]

Damn! Them guys can sing.

[writerchic16]

This randomly popped in my head today. Good, classic Sesame Street song. Totally remembered the whole scene once I started watching.

[rahmannoor]

@writerchic16

yeah me too...heard it like over 15years ago i guess and it suddenly popped up in my head.

Hail YouTube!

[jinxy00]

Wow I was singing this song today and wasn't sure if it was real or if I imagined it.

Now I can hear it again, it's nicely done. ^^

[blueshogun96]

I've been searching for this for years, thank God someone finally posted this.

Btw, RACISM == IGNORANCE!

[jtomally9681]

So true. These guys were awesome.

[kobraf150]

@blueshogun96 Sesame street and sports are part of the reason we have made progress.

[kbthamc]

anyone know the name of this group?

[MiltownPunkette21]

This would be 14 Karat Soul. Some people have said Take 6, but that's wrong.

[BuddyBoy600alt]

Here where I found out about it. Sesame Street Lyrics Archive said this was sung by Take 6. Anyway, Take 6 is an A-Capella group.

[kbthamc]

ahhhhhhhhh mang MEMORIES

[bernieandme]

my fave song on sesame street apart from ernie's rubber ducky and bob's people in your neighborhood he3

[MiltownPunkette21]

You are an utter ASSHOLE. I'M BLACK, motherfucker. Now what?

[jtomally9681]

Well you were being predigest so I do not blame him for being a bit upset. Think before you speak, or type.

[alecj86]

do we really have to discuss this under a sesame street video?

[Magikawp]

Why can't we discuss things under streets? that's exactly what they are doing in the video.

[tuggle5]

I am 32 and I can sing this song in my head thanik god for youtube10 28 09

[BruinCheerman]

that's awsome classic all the way

[airdog13]

I've been on a subway before. The MBTA red line. I've ridden that a few times.

[missdixie7]

I'm 26 years old, but  I remember this from when I was a little kid. It's crazy what sticks with you and what you forget.

[BexxiesTV]

When I was a kid, I loved this. I still think about this sometimes, and I still sing the song.

[ZenDeividdo]

AWESOME! I remember hearing this song when I was about 3-4 years old; instantly memorable.

I miss older educational programs!

[TroyCutie679]

i'm watching the episode with this scene in now.

[TroyCutie679]

i meant to put "it" between in and now.

[DanaAbel30]

They should've called this song "Australia", because they went "down under".  LOL!!!

[emotherside]

haha thats lame, but aussie representin', Love it!! :)

[RagingStormX]

*throws a tomato*

[DanaAbel30]

(Catches it, and throws it back)

[emotherside]

i feel sorry for kids growing up in the 21st century! sesame street was so much coller and entertaining in those days. and it went for an hour!

[94krissyboo]

[Averant]

[EuroSavk7]

OMG! You are a great person for uploading this. I love this so much. Only if they had a extended version...

[broadwayhead]

[tiggy411]

[soyperiodista]

Holy crap. I found this video and IMMEDIATELY started singing along.

I haven't seen this video in years.

[tesaarrr]

aaaaaaaaaah literally one of the best childhood memories... i am soo happy to see this again... and no need to climb through a manhole!!! xxxx

[afriendofbean]

When I first saw this skit when I was very young, in the beginning of the skit, I thought all five of them were going to fall down into the open sewer because I thought they were just taking a walk and not watching where they were going, and all of a sudden, I thought they were going to fall down into the open sewer and get hurt.

[EBalen1969]

So if these guys are not take 6, as you say. Then tell me, who are they?

[catlin248]

Well clearly they are not Take 6 because there is only five guys..duh!

[grasoon]

14 Karat Soul

[psychotropic7]

That's the shit!!!

[phoenix21x]

i remeber this

[nycrustofat]

HAHAHA i so remember this.

[PALIMOST]

thats 14 karat soul, not take six

[jimbim121]

I loved this song when I was little. It was one of my favorites! :D

[jimbim121]

Thanks for posting it!

[kRiiSSyP00hLuHvZy0u]

most def not take 6 but this was one of my faves when i was lil

[southernmind]

This is absolutely NOT Take 6. I know my guys. :-)

[BuddyBoy600]

Actually that's Take 6.

[jonnytbirdzback]

But there's only 5 of them.

[BuddyBoy600]

Hmm, I think one of the member is probely absent. I remember seeing the information on The Sesame Street Lyrics Archive. BTW, Catchy tune. And I give it five stars.

[MarshalGrover]

Take 6 wore more dignified clothing, these guys are wearing hip, street clothes.

[philcornwell]

@jonnytbirdzback It really isn't Take 6. It's not their style, it's harmonically far less complex and none of the 5 members of this group are in Take 6. It's still pretty cool though

[teatree04]

@BuddyBoy600 Thats definitely not Take6. Its not their style of arrangement and none of their members are in the video

[tog123]

@BuddyBoy600 no its not

[bedrock001]

@BuddyBoy600  HELL 2 THE NO! Not Take 6! 14 KARAT SOUL

[bedrock001]

@BuddyBoy600 HELL 2 THE NO! Not Take 6! 14 KARAT SOUL from East Orange, New Jersey.....

[imajio]

@BuddyBoy600 this is definitely not take6 bro..

[themostrandomchick24]

@BuddyBoy600 -WRONG! This is 14 Karat Soul.

[ladyrose777]

i love it. it's sooo 80s.

[MiltownPunkette21]

Wow, that was a good one when I was little. I remember it being about 1/2 a step down in key, though. Sadly I can't name what key I'm talking about, but I'd know it if I heard it.

[hellcatt20]

i remember this!!!!! rad! thanks for posting it! i used to LOVE IT

okay, so i still do!

[Nockyout]

Everytime I hear this song I just sing it!

[TINKERBELL7770]

I have this song if anyones interested.

[Xwind01]

this song is da bomb!! haven't heard it since i was sooo little. i love it.

[MarshalGrover]

I wonder if this would've been better with music.

[narozzz]

This is so crazy I have to share it - when I was a toddler, I had a whole ritual based on this song: My mom would dry me off after a bath while singing "Baby of mine" from Dumbo, whereupon i would ask as if I didn't know, "Where does the water go??", to which she would over-enthusiastically reply, "DOWN, DOWN, BELOW THE STREET!!!" and shake me around like a snow globe. Yes, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Crazy, but true. And the fact that my parents indulged me made me who I am....whatever THAT means....

[Alyn08]

Cute story!!

[grasoon]

I have to agree with Evertide05.

I've been lookin for this song for effing EVER! God, I love it!

[BeLeather]

I LOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!

[sweetjemmy]

OMG, I'm freakin out here, I havn't seen this since I was really young, I can't believe its up here!!

[Kidsmtvslv1]

Last time I saw this I was either 7 or 8

[Evertide05]

This might be my all-time favorite Sesame Street song. I mean, I don't think I've seen it since I was 5, yet now, at age 23, I can [i]still[/i] sing it to myself.

[nikima99]

So glad that this has finally been uploaded. I still know most of the lyrics..lol

This group isnt Take 6.

[HeAvEnLyStAyFLy]

the name of the group singing is not 14 Carat Soul; it's definetly Take 6.

[jonnytbirdzback]

But there isn't 6 of them.

[grandfromEO]

You are wrong, this is 14 Karat Soul. They are originally from East Orange, NJ The group formed while they where in High School. In this video Glenny T, Russell, David, Tony (Zeke) and Mike.

[babyEroose]

never heard of 14 Carat Soul, but they are immortalized b/c they sang this. Always in my childhood memory.

[HeAvEnLyStAyFLy]

omg!!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! this was always my very favorite thing on Sesame Street! I even brought a silly Sesame Street cd on ebay so I could hear this song again!!! thank youuuuuuu =)

[babyEroose]

this is my favorite sesame street song ever!! i like the 'new way to walk' too but i still sing this...

[SexeeDIva82]

OMG I loved this! I still get this song stuck in my head occasionally. AHHH the memories!

[sclurking]

I've been looking for this for YEARS!

Thanks so much for upload this huge chunk of my childhood.

[Butmac]

OMG - I could cry - thank you SO much for posting this! I have no words

[SenhorBundy]

this clip rules, thanks!

When did this one came out? I remember watching it c.1994/95.

[gameshowluvr86]

This was like 1989 or '90.

[gameshowluvr86]

I used to think that the guys who sang this were the Force MDs. :)

[kingvonnegut]

I used to think they were New Edition. I was only 8 or 9, though. Lol.

[dennydog10]

i've been looking for this clip for a while.

thank you for posting

[hssenior]

i remember this clip form when i was little when was this song born

[Alyn08]

This group almost reminds me of Rockapella. That's how awesome they are!!

[Babe5677]

I so remember this. It's ace. I love this boy band they are cool and funny. What's the name of the boyband that sing this song? Everytime I saw this I was singing it while I had a drink of water on my sofa singing this song. When I taped this song I kept rewinding to this song I hope I can meet this boyband soon are they still together or not? I am wondering what they are up to now.

[myenmoni]

omg omg, you dont know how long ive been loking for this...ive been asking people if they remember it, this was one of my faves....thanx sooooo much!!!

[Alyn08]

You know what? A while ago I was thinking of this segment and was trying to find it too. Problem was I didn't know the title of this. Don't you hate that?

Anywho, I'm glad that I finally found this!! Thanks to whoever posted this!! You know the name of this group, by any chance?

[myenmoni]

I think its 14karat soul

[avonee1976]

This song came out when I was too old to be watching Sesame Street, but I still was anyway. I always loved this clip! Anybody know the name of this group? They did an excellent job of singing.

[bbshopbaritone]

I seem to recall another one these guys did about school...anyone remember that one? Was stuff like this that got me into a cappella music.

[TINKERBELL7770]

YOU ARE MY HERO!! I havent heard this song in over 12 years! Thank you so much!!!

[moatguy]

A song I loved a lot as a kid. Funny how it was Sesame Street,s only song without music.

[MarshalGrover]

Get Along doesn't have music, it's an a capella number.

[moatguy]

Oh I see.

[bi0boy]

OMG THIS was DEFINITELY one of the very best songs on ss. MUCHOS GRACIAS for posting!!!

[wattamack4]

Awsome! I haven't seen this in years!

[Morty340]

Oh, how I remember this skit really well. Thanks for putting it up!

[TVLubber]

Finally! THANK YOU!

[MarshalGrover]

I definently remeber this!
