Sesame Street - I'm Proud To Be A Cow

[Smartboy8877]

Earlier this evening, I tried unsuccessfully to post a bunch of messages on this site. I have no idea what the problem was with the system. I am now submitting this comment to see if the situation has been corrected. One can hope!

Happy Cow Appreciation Day!

[Ashenpelt]

ether the cow is a gay bull or a deep voiced cow

[Muppephile]

@Ashenpelt - Richard Hunt was gay, he puppeteered this character. Which is probably why she sounds like a drag queen.

[Smartboy8877]

@Muppephile

I had no idea that Richard Hunt was gay! Very interesting! Also, I wonder if he was related to Helen Hunt who is my favorite actress. My guess would be no. Given how famous both of them are/were, I would have probably read or heard about it if they were relatives.

[Muppephile]

@Smartboy8877 it IS interesting :D

As a gay man myself, and an artist, I see him as a role-model.

[Smartboy8877]

@Muppephile

Very interesting facts. By the way, do you know what year he died? Also, what did he die of?

[Muppephile]

@Smartboy8877 in 1991, and he died of AIDS

[Smartboy8877]

@Muppephile

I am very sorry to learn this! Thank you very much for sharing!

[collgoff]

@Muppephile No 1992 the same year that I was born.

[miladynana]

I was singing this last week at school, a bit too loud actually

but I live in Brazil so I don't think anyone understood

[ShaiMyst]

aren't those horses with horns tied on? Imposter Cows! LOLOLOLOLOL. this was a fun song

[412envy]

what an arrogant cow..

[katelynFowler]

lol

[existenceisrelative]

I'm proud to have an udder. Like my father... no my mother.

[Gummiebear925]

this song rocks!!! I love it <3 :D

[BeatlesAmiYumi]

That song was so awsome!!! Thanks for posting this! BTW, does anyone have the song the song a different cow sings about what we do with our noses? It has the part that goes "What do you do with a cold or the flu? Just achoo, achoo, achoo".

[JadedFox23]

I have been looking for that song too. If anyone knows the name of it and finds it, please post it.

[GrayLeader2184]

I love the horses singing backup with horns on their heads.

Miss Piggy Should Do Sing This Song With Gladys the Cow

[Muppephile]

@jmmuppetman she's proud proud proud to be a pig, her skin is rough and bristly, her meat can be quite gristly, she thinks that every pig should bow, you dig?

[beautifuldayboy]

2 and 1...

[teenangel93]

touching <3 :')

[Rkerekes13]

Richard Hunt must have been proud to be a puppeteer!

[Muppephile]

@Rkerekes13 - I personally like to think of this song as a tiny bit of gay pride, as Richard Hunt was gay.

[Rkerekes13]

@Muppephile How do you know that he was gay?

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

Wow, I really miss Gladys a lot. Good ol' Richard Hunt. There was nobody like him and his charachters. They brought Gladys back in 2003 for a few years, played by Jennifer Barnhart. But it just wasn't the same. Nobody can replace Richard's wonderful charachters that I grew up with in the 80's. He was a great man.

[nekojima1987]

I miss Richard Hunt, too! ToT

[frymahhide1982]

I actually think I like Jennifer Barnhart better. She makes it more convincing that the character is a female. Despite the "Gladys" name (and the character being a cow), I actually thought the character was supposed to be a guy all this time.

[HeraldMB]

I admit I used to be confused about whether Gladys was a girl or not, lol. And I do think there should be more female Muppeteers.

Still, I think Richard Hunt's performance was incredibly inspiring here. :)

[KairuHakubi]

It kinda sounds like the cow was a tad confused too. it happens.

[Dekobee]

@LincolnHeightsrocks And maybe they could reintroduce Forgetful Jones played by Jerry Nelson instead of Richard.

[lion371]

I'm proud to be a jaguar.

[AlbieGray]

Gladys is absolutely hilarious!

[tcwing]

I had no idea Sesame Street was so queer friendly, even back then! This is a rare classic in drag culture. If I ever open a gay bar, I'm DEFINITELY showing this on a huge screen in the background during parties! Rock on, Jim Henson.

[teenangel93]

I miss the good old days. I luv this when I was little. this made me sad. I miss this soo bad. 5 stars

[gizzuworld]

ho ho hold on tight

[Kryp420]

Find the episodes when Gladys was on Guy Smiley's show....there was one with Here is your Life about Milk...One where she pops her head in behind the curtain at the end of the show..and another where she starts out with Guy but she was thrown backstage or something??? I remember she did a duet with Clementine, one episode she was chillin in between

Snuffy and Big Bird, She hosted Sesame Street once with Buster, she did a magic trick with Marvin....find as much as u can haha

[Cats29]

I rember the song with clementime too glad to see somone else besides me rembers this

[Kryp420]

yes yes..I grew up on Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Show, etc..

[Cats29]

did you know there are two versions of the song that clementime sang?

[Marbles471]

I thought this was from 1983. I have an old episode where this is the first scene. Was it being reused there? I didn't know they ever did that with opening street scenes, but I guess that would explain how Olivia's hair magically grew about a foot from the episode that aired just three weeks before that one. (Olivia's part in this scene is cut out here, which is too bad, since at the end of the song you get to see the expression on her face. :)

[Herald8]

I ADORE this song, such a good message!

Lol the Muppets were always doing that "cow is a horse/horse is a cow" joke!
