It's from 1988, not 1990.

0:12 That 14 shapes flying buy, not 15.

im 15 and i certainly dont have super powers! except the power to get fat and gain 10 pounds in 10 months.

@thetoolbox112394 It's just a rhyme. They need something to fill in the line.

fifteen, biatch!

[elementz1986]

I wish rap videos actually looked like this.

[a90sfan]

I like the endings of these. Fifteen! Fifteen! F-fifteen!

[gothhydran]

Same here!! I like the ending with Seven.

Seven, Seven, S-S-seven

That timer in the green background looks like a homage to "60 Minutes".

[Deanmo23]

Actally it was one of the rap segments made for Season 20.

15..aka the number of questions you have to get right to win the million on Millionaire.

[TyrekeCorrea]

it makes sense; no checks their watch to see when 19 seconds has passed!

Reply to this question:

Is this Rap segment the only one with that timer in the green background?

[TyrekeCorrea]

they did a rap with the number 19

[DELIVEREE]

That timer in the green background wasn't in #19.

[TyrekeCorrea]

ohhhh...

[DELIVEREE]

Well, I found out, that timer in the green background is found ONLY in Rap #15, right?

[DELIVEREE]

I thought I saw a Rap#20 where they also had that timer in the green background.

Any replies?

[zhelder]

There was no Rap #20. These rap cartoons debuted at the same time as the bellhop cartoons in 1987, when Sesame Street expanded the sponsoring numbers up to 20 from 12. The rap cartoons were done for odd numbers, the bellhop cartoons were done for even numbers.

[DELIVEREE]

You mean, when I was a baby, when I saw that timer in the green background, it was Rap#15 all along and never 20?

[mygirlfriendisback]

According to Muppet Wiki,They never had a Rap#20.

[DELIVEREE]

You mean that timer in the green background only appeared in Rap#15?
