Sesame Street: The Beetles - Letter B

[highheeledangel]

this is the sesame street song that i can never forget. im so glad you uploaded this

[ariellejsa]

Still can't believe I was raised on this... but now it ALL MAKES SENSE!! ;) I'm happy for it! ;^)

[tecaarantes]

BRILLIANT!!!! :D

[Melly1229]

The Beatles*...

[ginger8994]

Ohoho! That's right bring the Beatles back :D

[WaynePrankster]

Also, the guitar solo at 2:06 sounds like it's the same person who played electric guitar on The Christmas Wish on John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together.

[WaynePrankster]

I love how they even look like their Beatles counterparts, especially George, and Richard Hunt is doing an excellent Paul McCartney impression here. :)

[raulmar1968]

YO QUIERO SER COMO EL BATERISTA JAJAJAJAJAJ

[bajeezus1234]

I had a VHS collection that had this on it. It was my favorite song ever as a kid. I remember the VHS got messed up from me rewinding this and rewatching so much. I was so heartbroken.

[Jameswilllee]

My mother says B words to me too. Except it's more like "clean your room Bitch" or "Do your homework you Bastard or I'll kick your Balls" It's not really comforting though.

[BeatlesMonkees]

I love How They Put Beatles Stuff in Little Kids shows XD :D LETTER B!

[dreeinthestars]

How many of us were introduced to the Beatles from this song? I know I was. Wow.

[CrystalinaSuperFly]

My mom whispers "B" words too :(

[AmericanGirl4ever91]

Instead of "let it be" whenever it plays, i sing "letter b"!!!!!!!!!

[klausweasley]

Thumbs up if you knew this song before "Let It Be".

[MJAngelLove]

I remember this from when I was a girl a parody of Let It Be.

[Nanabobo]

Y'know, Michael Jackson's state sued Sesame Street for this. Seriously, what no-good executive said, "Hey, we own the rights to that song, let's sue one of the most-loved kid's shows of all time!"

[dragchute86]

Anyone else hear "Let her be!"? :)

[MimiJanet513]

lmaooo

[Martin126X]

Guys, go search "Let it a let it b" its John being silly and its really funny :D

[BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

@Martin126X YES THAT IS EPIC

[Jamesx5201]

eh let it be is better than letter b

[BeatlesBabe564]

The Beetles

"Letter B"

Sesame Road

Lemon Records

[BeatlesBabe564]

Best bit: when Ringo-puppet starts doing the head-banging thing <3

[mserovey]

My ex wife told me about this when my kids were little. Too bad it took me over 20 years to finally see it!

[007guy19]

My mother whispers B words too...

[lajmh]

Does anyone know who the Beetle is supposed to be lead singer? I once had a real beetle and it looked just like John!

[MrSaulord]

I love this song! Makes me very happy :D

[samthelego89]

this is genius

[sparklemeaw]

combining my fav show ever with my all time fav band.love it.rest in peace,bringer of 1000's of  peoples joy.we all love you.

[1KevinsFamousChili1]

ahhahahaha i was listening to the beatles on itunes when i clicked this so i heard "the beatles performing-" then the song Misery played i was so confused xD

[Jessyleppert]

Paul played Piano on Let It Be, The Paul Beetle should be on Piano.

[xKaddelx]

Such a great idea :)

[SuperTZ007]

Let it be! Let it be! Letter B! Jollibee. Speaking of words of wisdom, JOLLIBEE!

[chism26]

we have to stamp out the beetles

[gmoney66]

Oh man, I can't wait to hear "I Saw R Standing There"!

[Rockport269]

I love the crazy screaming fans in the background...they should have had more of that

[soulebrother32]

Ringo Beetle is getting really into it.

[TheDonandMurphshow]

Those are not beatles, they are just ginger kermit the frogs.

[Molly2779]

i remember this!



[donhawk]

12 people don't really dislike this. Yoko hit "dislike" 12 times just to piss off Beetle fans.

[MsPandaRosa]

@donhawk

Or else they're Yoko Oh-NO!!! fans.

[kecole18]

I've got blisters on my wires!

[fuschaitea]

Almost as good as "Let's Lay An Egg"

[mocon7]

It's funny because the Beatles are actually providing the vocals and playing for the song. They rewrote it for Sesame Street.

[dragchute86]

RIP Michael Jackson...

He saved Sesame Street from a devastating lawsuit arising from this song.

[FabFM]

He did. Although it has to be stated that the lawsuit was ATV music and not The Beatles. Paul McCartney even wrote the guy who wrote "Letter B" a letter supporting him.

[NewEquinoxProduction]

let her be....who??

[abraveastronaut]

12 people couldn't let it be.

[ty1771]

Not as good as Rebel L, but still good

[Optimus997FanClub]

Rebel L, that rules!

See video: VjbpuK_H2VY

[orp323]

really who the hell were the 11 people who had disliked this particular video......

[mrblackzuki]

your mother whispers the B-word to you?

[kokoy29]

So glad to find this here, this is one of those episodes that I can still remember from when I was growing up :) Thanks for the upload!

[DarthSquidward]

i use to have this on tape and i remember this scene.

[FSB98430LOL]

jonh and george would B happy by passing their teachings for kids(i think)



[FabFM]

@FSB98430LOL This is a McCarntey song!

[Brian567899]

My name starts with Ba ba ba beeeeeeeeeee leter beeee leter beeeee

[tracyburton10]

Lemon records [:

[FrancescaH2204]

Haha I love the fact that even Beetle "Ringo" goes kinda crazy on the drums!

[Fartingbellybutton]

On The Beatles recording, Paul played Piano.

[SingKiran]

Hi im 12 years old, and I have a passion for singing.

Most people think underestamate me and say your not gonna be good, your not related to anyone famous. Please check out my page, and listen to my songs and see my story, just to see. I know advertisments can be annoying, but it would mean really alot. Thanks,

Kiran :-D

Nice video

I love this show.

[ihartmymommy]

im 20 now and i still [happily] get this song stuck in my head from when i heard it about 15 years ago :]

[pinknoses101]

DANG IT! I MADE A PARODY OF THIS SONG AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND IT WAS IN THE RELATED VIDEO THINGY PLACES, AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY HAD IT, BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG I THOUGHT IT SAID LETTER B...so thats why and now im sad now i do not have a parody :((

[irugaejudia]

Letter Bee is an Anime

[InsertName125]

Where can I find this on video?

[BeegotscaKes]

Lol my teacher showed this to our class the other day!

[paulftw4life]

r they making fun of the beatles or r they doing the parody tht is truly popular then i dnt understand tht

[PandaMishima]

@paulftw4life

It's a a parody, and a fun one. I find myself humming "Letter B" whenever I hear "Let It Be" on the radio,

[MsTexas73]

@PandaMishima Me too:c) I instantly thought of this when I was watching them sing Let it Be on the Kennedy Center Honors tonight.

[magus77578]

@PandaMishima You aren't the only one thinking that.

[Todosobrelosbeatles]

Let It Be, Letter B, Let It Be Yeah Letter Be.

[glassgiraffe1185]

Brings back so many memories! love it! Letter B!!!! hehe

[carevics]

Wich were the other songs of this hitlist?

[HoneycombAgent]

When exactly did this episode take place? I heard they had gotten sued over this.

[tanteneel]

@HoneycombAgent they changed the accords (I believe every 7th accord) so it wasn't plagiarism. They would have been sued if they copied the song completely.

[jimihendrixgirl]

This is GENIUS.

[kyhle111]

I LOVE THAT DRUMMY BEETLE! xD

the way he is opening his mouth and nods every now and then <3

[GooglelyTube]

No Yoko????

[Jorm83]

This actually reminds me more of Meatloaf than the Beatles. :p

[timwoodbela]

I love it.. also the Hey food!

[Andersgbg]

The best part about this video is that their haircuts are so authentic!!! :-D

[ozfizann]

happy birthday john lennon!!

[yellowraven8]

CARROT TOPS XD

[nynke2201]

[SonMarkoz]

[78violetfantic]

i still have this on dvd, <3 sesame street!!

[BlueBombers4Life]

They even made "Paul" left handed!

[stayupthere]

What episode is this?

[gclafontaine]

Brilliant!

[casp2099]

This is one of my favorite Sesame Street Videos of all time. I actually remember watching this as a child. My mom and dad (big Beatles fans) got a great kick of it as well. Greatest show ever!

[tigerjd326]

hahahaha!

[thebeatleslove10]

I adore the part where Ringo starts jamming on the drums... really cute. Letter B...

[beansterman1998]

he actually sounds like paul!

[loquendogt2009]

The Beetles

"Letter B"

Sesame Road

Lemon Records

XD

[atctnt]

Epic fail

[ryuuksgirl98]

the Ringo Beetle doesn't have a nose!!!! how could it be?

[TheCamoTurtle]

Lol everyone loves this :3

[TheBeatlesJpm4life]

lol instead of abbey road "sesame road" even tho let it be wasnt even on abbey road

[DrWobert]

love this.

[1974to2010]

I was reminded of this childhood gem while watching the last disc (sigh!) of the Beatles Anthology tonight.

[RockLeeWhife]

X°DDDD

Love this.

[MrComradeCommissar]

Let her be!!!!!!!!!

[comickrew]

[kamarulx]

[xotheatrecamgrlx]

[mirrorcleworld]

Sesame Road! Brilliant.

[FuckBieber]

aawwwwwwwwwwwww I LOVE THIS this is so adorable XD AWWWW LET IT BE I FUKIN LOVE THIS!!

[bauble24]

1:34 Boy those female Muppets certainly go crazy over his little drum rift LOL

[ProgDrummerQ]

@bauble24 what is a "drum rift?" never ever heard of one of those before

[kikicartoon]

cute! letter b,the corus is catchy

[PudgyPooch]

This kinda makes me mad... I don't want to think of puppets when I hear The Beatles "Let It Be"!!!! This is the most beautiful song ever and I don't want it to be warped!!

[LHudson73]

@2:08... the "Paul" Beetle upstages "George" during the guitar solo. How typical.

[TheseFilthyHands1]

@LHudson73 I love you. Hahaha. Being a Beatles fan i totally agree.

[p135syche9q]

Lemon Records =DDDD

[abergethirty]

@zmallbodado It wasn't the group that was suing. A company that owned the publishing rights was going after them. The Beetles have no say in the matter. All the publisher has to do is give them their cut of any money they make.

[bigbluefootball17]

This made my day. Seriously. Especially the drummer.

[barkingboy91]

i luv dis song !!!:)

[warriofer94]

lol i have this on vhc xD i see this when i has like 9 im 15 now

[amparolovesJobros]

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

[Mystafysh]

[TheRealBanjo2]

[ravengurl92]

[mrsmime100]

haha aww cute.

[miradaslaconicas]

I can´t stop to laugh

[danieladougan]

Awesome! That is so funny!

[LineOfDeath12]

I love how you can hear the girls screaming in the vid, its so great

[Ishcoa]

1:43,

"My mother whispers B-words, letter B!"

I don't even want to think of what his mother is whispering to him!

[snailslow2]

@Ishcoa rofl ur so sick but funny (=

[Clauwde]

Love it

[Clauwde]

Love it

[Batdouche]

Good lord, I remember this from probably 20 years ago now.  Brings back memories.

[Beatlesbiggestfan2]

OMG!!! thats funny!!!!!!!!!!! xD

[bostonscholar]

Dont make it like this anymore... Sesame Street HAAD fun for all... even for adults

[fendermusicLOL]

bring back good memories in my room!

[lovesPaulRodriguez]

Everytime I hear the Beatles song this originates from, I always sing it letter B instead of Let Her Be...tytyty

[bmalaquias]

Actually it is Let It Be.

[lovesPaulRodriguez]

Yikes..Big time typo, thanks for catching that...=)

[LineOfDeath12]

fucking nitpicker!

[dholmlund]

Isn't that the voice of Scooter??

[all4theused]

This is too cute...brings back some memories...

[iRockfan178]

Hahahahahahhahahaahahha!!

[426brandon]

thats funny! and creative!

[miacat10]

so cuuute xD

[SmileyFace131213]

lol "letter b" sounds like "let her be" (but i guess thats kinda the point lol)

[Masokissed628]

@SmileyFace131213 No. Kidding.

[abergethirty]

The previous owners of the Beatles catalog was actually going to sue The Childrens Television Workshop over this song. They were asking 5 million, which would have bankrupted them. M. Jackson bought the Catalog and dropped the lawsuit. MJ saved Sesame Street.

[Masokissed628]

@abergethirty only the finest in entertainment for MJ's potential molestation victims.

[eliza097]

i thout after they broke up some one sold them at a auction.... well thats what my dad told me

[Enchurito]

Which is silly cause you DON'T need permission to record a parody.

[TofuPuppets]

@Enchurito It closely resembeled the beatles song Let it be

[denackelley80]

really? lol can someone say slow

[abergethirty]

@Enchurito People that make parody songs still have to get permission from the publishers if it is a money making venture. CTWS sold episodes to PBS so it's a commercial product.

[bauble24]

@abergethirty Actually no, if they use notes or lyrics that ressembles the original song, then they are required to provide a co-writing credit, otherwise it's a parody protected by law. This song's tune is not the same as Let it Be

[EpicMadness]

@abergethirty Awesome. That's so great.

[maybrook1]

@abergethirty Sesame Street is protected under the parody act.

[hutchinator]

@abergethirty

what better way to sexually assault children than to tell them he saved their favorite show? He truly was a madman!

[karlmahlmann]

@abergethirty Thats very interesting. It sounds like they tried to change the chords and melody enough to avoid copyright infringement.. Apparently, someone didn't think so. Regardless, the video is a riot. -and MJ is deserves a thank you.

[funrizwan]

@abergethirty he sure loved children

[saintcatherine]

@abergethirty

That would have been lame of the Beatles. Its not like the Beatles lost sales over this or anything. Greed and being sue happy. "They didn't pay us to do a parody so were going to shut down a wonderful Childrens Program. 

[sirHamilton100]

@abergethirty  yeah good for you and us this psycho fanatics didnt kill the joy of the children

[1y38]

@abergethirty Really?! Are you serious?!?!?!!! I had no idea. That is really kind and thoughtful!

[1y38]

@abergethirty

[ryoko65]

@abergethirty that was ridiculous... this song bears only a slight resemblance to "Let it Be" I've seen artists get away with less changes than this. but people go nuts where the Beatles are involved MJ may have made some mistakes.... like outbidding Paul McCartney for the Beatles catalog... but at least he let the Beetles have their song..... lol. MJ still rocks in my opinion.

[elee604]

i love how ringo's beetle puppet moves like how the real ringo moves when he plays!

[shrelonkafruitpie]

let it be? great job sesame street!

[jazellejesus]

i love sesame street!

[carebear459]

WHO DOSEN'T!?!?!?!

[jazellejesus]

i love sesame street!

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

Great video! Happy 40th Birthday, Sesame Street!

[ProgDrummerQ]

i was inging this yesterday...remember it from 13 years ago =D

[nlott30]

Did Joe Raposo write the music to this?

[crescentfreshbret]

I'm thinking it was probably Chris Cerf. He usually wrote the pop song parodies.

[stebopign]

nostalgia baby!

[FoxForever90]

Too bad they couldn't get Paul McCartney to sing or something.

Haha,
