this isn't a parody of rock around the clock by bill hailey and the comets but rather a parody of ernie maresca's shout shout from 1962. It's awesome, though. My daughter loves this! I love old school sesame street so much more!
That clock is causing Global Warming and probably killed several polar bears due to the insane usage of electricity. :p *insert lots of sarcasticness here*
@jpayne4040 *Honks nose and goes to the Richard Scary's hospital since Sesame Street I don't think has one so I have to go to the one in that show/book instead.
OK, what exactly happened at the end? I remember this clip from my childhood and I distinctly remember some kind of carnage but they cut it off before that happened!
0:57 pillar on the far right almost collapses. lol. Can you even imagine the chaos of all those puppeteers at the same time? It'd probably be really funny to see hem as they were filming this. I can't believe it got 5 thumbs down. 0_o must've been the five Honkers who had to pay for the clock damage...
If the idea was to go back to the '50s, wouldn't the disco ball take away from that?
Course, 3-4 year-olds won't care.
Too bad you won't see this on Sesame Street anymore. Now you've got "Number of the Day" and "Journey to Ernie" and "Elmo's World". And we have "No Child Left Behind" to thank for that. :P
ohkay, im a puppeteer and this must have taken like, 300007 tries to get this just right! I meannn, coroegraphy and stuff must have taken forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i cant even get 3 lines correct!!!!)
i respect u v much. a lot of people on youtube cannot take constructive criticisms or suggestions. they r v petty and use vulgarities. u r different and i like that. cheers!!!
@Saintnick90 And even further, a difference between a ripoff, a parody, and something done in a style. The song bears no resemblance to anything other than a song that uses music stylings common for the era the song was modeled after, not specific to any one existing song, IMO of course.
I know that when this video was re-released to DVD certain music videos were cut. For example, Wet Paint had the opening and ending cut and the opening and ending to ZZ blues was cut, why was that? Could someone tell me please?
When I was like 3 or 4 I remember this being my favorite Sesame Street song. I think it may have single-handedly given me an affection for the classic 50s rock sound. I remember dancing in the living room to this. Nice memories :)
what does political correctness have to do with what i said?? its the honest truth. sesame street now a days is boring and lame... the whole last half hr of the show is about ELMO'S WORLD. fuck outa here. it doesnt have the flavor like it used to any more.
I think that this clock is actually a juke as well as a disco light clock, man I'm glad that I've found this man I can now watch tis over and over again.
lol, I was afraid of this skit as a kid. I was afraid because the clock started moving and I used to think that a giant clock would come through the wall at anytime XD
I use a program called "Wire Tap Pro," but if you don't have it then I would just take any recording device, hold it up to your speakers while you're recording, and plug it into your computer to put it on your music player. Download it to your iPod etc.
Even easier, download Audacity (free audio editor), select input as Stereo Mix, and hit record - then play the song, Audacity will record right off the sound card. Quality is slightly worse than originally, but far better than your suggestion.
Why'd they break the clock anyway? Did they get it off of "Shamrock and Roll" (Merrie Melodies cartoon) or "The Coo Coo Clock Caper" (Inspector Gadget)?
If that's the reason, I think it was a waste of money! The Honkers probably paid hundereds of dollars to get that clock, only to wind up destroying it!
