"1982" 5yrs old, MAN!!, I miss those days!!! I'm a EMCEE and Writer now and I have to say that the letter people had three songs that really drew me to music and words MR.S, MS. A & MR. M
This is cool. I forgot this show was actually made in my home town. I wonder if he is still around. I would love to hire him to perform this song at my birthday bash or something. I bet people would really love it.
Mr. S was voiced by a well known St. Louis actor who worked extensively in musical theatre and was a fabulous singer. That is most likely why he sang his songs. Perhaps the other voice artists were not singers
i was in kindergarten in 1983 and i still knew the words to the song. miss percle told us if we all took our naps, when we woke up, the next letter person would appear. this is why sleep probs are nonexistent on south louisiana.
Omg this brought tears to my eyes...my cousin had every one of the lil colorful records and we use to play them(each letter) on the lil white record player with the orange handle..Mr.S was my fave...omg this is classic...memories!
I like the puppet version, but the original speaks to me- I didn't know this was a show when we used it in the kindergarten I worked in the late 90's (we just played the cassette for the kids) so I just pictured a little kid, sad and lonely, but with this fantastic ability to imagine things. Go super socks!
This is sweet, I learned my letters in kindergarten via the letter people. Each time a new letter person came to our class it would be overnight, so it was always a sweet surprise when we would come in. How Ms. Guinan managed to pull this on us 26 times seems silly, but she did. I wish you would allow embedding...
I was born in the year 1990 but know all these songs thanks to my siblings. My mother bought them all the records. I grew singing each and every single letter song. This was great to find on youtube. Took me down memory lane <3
I remember the first time they showed a letter people episode in my kindergarten class everyone went crazy. This was probably 1986. I swear we were so fired up when Mr. M hit the screen with his munchin' mouth.
me and my moms was just talking about this show! Mr. S go hard!! Mr. S and Mr. M were my favorites. But tell my why my mom still know all the words lol. I was like in kindergarten OMG wow
my preschool uses the letter people curriculum. (It a little updated, Mr C is no longer cotton candy but has a colossal cap and mr s is now ms S but pretty much same song with the silly socks, I love it... they love it and it gives them a fun way to learn the alphabet
1979 kindergarten for me and I can remember watching every episode of The Letter People,. as well as The Electric Company and I also Remember "REAL" Saturday morning cartoons.....
That's letter S peole you know really moody soulful like there's a big place to be moody it's not good either it's sickening he'll try to make you think he's easy to get along with, they'd rather not be alone so now that's the rules they're not funny sounding though( (because sometimes being people can go to the nerves) very let's see serious. What else sticky oh yes always hanging on their skin.
O my goodness, I thought I would never hear this again. I had the records. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah!
Hahaha!!! I had the Letter People in kindergarten, we had them at school, even blow up dolls, and my dad sold them too... I liked them, and me and my siblings used to "rock out" to this song!
OMG, for the longest time I used to think I was crazy, cause I've never met a single person that knew of the Letter People. This song used to be in my head all the time throughout my life, out of nowhere. Especially the chorus, ha!
Me too! Nobody else ever grew up on the Letter People either and this is the one Letter that I remember more than the others! How cool to hear this after all these years (about 30 years. Yikes.)
I'm not kidding, when I was in Kindergarten I had unexplainable feelings for MR.S while I sat in the dark in the back of the classroom on the floor. I thought he was sexy and I wanted him to be my boyfriend, didn't know what we do with each other but I had a crush on him and I looked forward to seeing him make an appearance each week. Never told anyone, I felt no one would understand. Also, I don't smoke pot whatsoever but this clip makes me want to roll one for some reason.
I watched the Letter People all the time just waiting for Mr. S because my name is Sarah. I liked him but at the same time he scared me...haunted me really. Isn't he a bit freaky?
My Dad used to sell Amway and some how I remember having this record with Tall Teeth Mr. T on the other side and I wore it out!! It makes me miss my dad who died when I was 7. I am now 32... thanks for posting this. :)
Yes, the song ROCKS! I wish the puppet sang the entire song, because he really gets into it! As for the effects in the video, I think they are SUPER! :)
That's cool...He was a star in my Kindergarten class in Ohio back in 1984. We watched The Letter People everyday after our recess and snack time. Good old PBS teaching the kids to read.
when we saw this one, we'd try our damnd'est to emulate the zoom effect with the trumpets by lunging foreward, face to face...didn't realize at that age that it was just the zoom of the camera, but we practiced it all day! "bu-buh bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-BAAH!"
wow this brings back so many memories it is not even funny I remember that every week we would have to try and find the letter people blow ups that our teacher had hidden it was so fun, I hate that my kids won't get to use the letter people to learn their letters, We even had a letter people parade one day of course like every body I was mr s yes I know I am a girl but he was a superhero he was the best thanks for posting this
Kindergarten is a German term carried over from the 1800s....kinder means child....and you're 33 and can't spell "barely"? The letter people are ashamed of you!
This is almost freaky. A friend sent this to me. I hadn't thought about this since kindergarden and I'm 33 right now. Barley remember it. (Where does the word kindergarden come from anyway..........kinder garden ???)
I friggin loved this show in kindergarten!!! We had to come to school as letter people too, I was Ms. A and we played "The Catching Game" and when I got happy "Aaaaa-CHOO"!! LoL
Ha, takes me back to kindergarden, 1972. Central School, Stockton Springs Maine. We had the school set complete with inflatable Letter People. My fav's were Mr. S, T & M,,, NO.... not S&M... Ha...!
man, MAN!!! IT'S LIKE I'M IN KINDERGARTEN AGAIN, AT MAPLE SCHOOL WITH MS. MILLS SITTING NEXT TO LISA JOHNS AND ALFREDO MACIAS AND MIKE GONZALES. MS. MILLS AND THE TEACHER'S AIDE USED TO PLAY THE LETTER MEN FOR US RIGHT BEFORE NAPTIME. FOR REAL THOUGH, I REMEMBER TAKING A NAP AND I DIDN'T WAKE UP. I'M STILL ASLEEP RIGHT NOW AND THIS SONG IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!!! WAKE ME UP I WANNA GO BACK TO MAPLE!!!!
Johnnylaw I am totally with you on that one. I started singing it front of my g/f for no reason and she was like um what are you singing? Thats when it hit me and I was like thank you alphabet people for teaching me the alphabet. I love mr. s.
I remember watching The Letter People when it aired on the PBS stations back in the 70s. I had forgotten how cool it was (and still is)! It just goes to prove that you need a ton of computerized gadgetry to make a neat TV show. The Mr. S and Mr. M songs are my favorites.
Ahhhhhh! No wonder I thought the show's song was different from the one I knew. The classroom version is better than the original though. The puppet version of Mr. S sounds stupid.
Did anyone else notice his right hand acts drunk at the beginning of this video? I remember as a kid I always noticed the crappy job they did at editing Mr. S flying (this was one of the favourite episodes of my class, so the teacher let us watch it all the time), and I always pointed it out, but nobody else believed me...
The version used for the show was good, but I think the original recording was more suiting for the show. Mr. D's voice in the show was definitely more suiting for the puppet (even though Mr. D's original voice is better). Not that the one in the show is bad, but I think the original voice would be better for both the show and song in general.
I do prefer the sound of the original singer's voice, but I have to say the voice they used on the show worked well, too. I used to not like his voice on the show when I was a little kid (I found it kind of hard to understand sometimes), but now I think it sounds more like a stereotypical superhero's voice.
Mr. S and the Rumpus Cat would probably call a truce. I always envisioned Mr. S making a Rumpus Cat-style startrap entrance if the Letter People ever became a Broadway entity, complete with goggles that had lighted rims.
"1982" 5yrs old, MAN!!, I miss those days!!! I'm a EMCEE and Writer now and I have to say that the letter people had three songs that really drew me to music and words MR.S, MS. A & MR. M

Did anyone else notice his right hand acts drunk at the beginning of this video? I remember as a kid I always noticed the crappy job they did at editing Mr. S flying (this was one of the favourite episodes of my class, so the teacher let us watch it all the time), and I always pointed it out, but nobody else believed me...

The version used for the show was good, but I think the original recording was more suiting for the show. Mr. D's voice in the show was definitely more suiting for the puppet (even though Mr. D's original voice is better). Not that the one in the show is bad, but I think the original voice would be better for both the show and song in general.

I do prefer the sound of the original singer's voice, but I have to say the voice they used on the show worked well, too. I used to not like his voice on the show when I was a little kid (I found it kind of hard to understand sometimes), but now I think it sounds more like a stereotypical superhero's voice.

His eyes were like fireballs, fearfully blazing.
He gave a great yawn, and his SOCKS were amazing!

That is the greatest thing I've read all day.
I wonder who would win in a fight between Mr. S and the Rumpus Cat...
Lycanthrope777 4 years ago
Mr. S and the Rumpus Cat would probably call a truce. I always envisioned Mr. S making a Rumpus Cat-style startrap entrance if the Letter People ever became a Broadway entity, complete with goggles that had lighted rims.

I actually ran camera on this episode back in the 1970s. Great to see it again.
