We could learn something from this grouch. Man Sesame Street isn't same without this sloppy beast. :)

[LEECHAMBERLIN]

I miss Oscar.

[clubpenscoot180]

i'm not ashamed to say this but i'm 14 and i still love this song xD

[psychedelicbluesdiva]

LOL oscar loves rusty trombones...

[subliminaloats]

oscar the grouch has disposophobia

[lexiconp]

this is truly the worst moral for children to watch. Why would you love trash that your mom gives you. Why do you think kids are so messy.

[XD123lol]

oh...look at my boyfriend lol... <3 luv him....

[CZiemer100]

Ich kenne das als "Ich mag Müll"

Carsten

[alshouse]

Oscar should be the Patron Saint of Pack Rats :)

[xcorex2]

24 people prefer the recycling bin. rather than Grouch's trash!

[smandalou]

Now tell the truth...you still know all the words don't you?????

[GoofyGoobaRock]

actually, the first time was all the way back when oscar was orange

[halohunC]

i wish you were the one who picked up our trash every tuesday and friday.

[TheHendry89]

[DSmoothMike]

It's funny how these classic Sesame Street vids are considered PG to current FCC standards.

[violabug3]

its a trumpet... not a tromboe

[monkeygirlila]

i guess 25 didnt get any trash for christmas.

[jeopardy60611]

I met Carroll Spinney (the person who voices Oscar) at the Collector's Convention in Carol Stream, IL today. He sang this song to me in person, and I was in tears!

[paperplague]

I love trash. <3

Going as Oscar for Halloween.

[SICKXPIN742]

Thats my brotha right there Oscar the grouch is my Favorite Sesame street character..followed by Snuffleupagus

[eevaannn]

[Studmeister17]

This Oscar puppet looks even worse than the original one.

[1stALPHAteam]

This has better rhymes than todays music.

[duckypam]

Reminds me of that show Hoarders. I wore out the Original Cast record as a kid. We never actually watched the show because we didn't have TV.

[sendtherich]

Aerosmiths cover of this is the best

[Revanchist12]

Damn even his fur is dusty and nasty looking

[SonAmyFanGurl]

He was my favorite charecter :)

[Justindawg1506]

I'm loling so hard to this...see you don't need profanity or vulgar nudity to make people laugh !

[masic88]

what's new, pussycat?

[shadowario]

I wish he'd come over and clean my house.

[jadoredelpo]

[blaphemyrgf]

[pnthrplyr265]

[TheLMNOPaul]

[naughtypuppetshow]

Yay. :-) Thanks much for posting this!

[buckethead6787]

i remember my grandmother was in canada, we saw a guitarist who said he could play anything, and wanted suggestions. so she said 'ok then play i love trash by Oscar the grouch' and sure enough he did

[angelinaramon]

LOL!!!!!

[cheeto37]

This isn't the first it's the 2nd

[krayzeejojo]

One my fav. Sesame Street characters of all the time (the other's one Cookie Monster). From what I remember growing up Oscar didn't screw around with choice words. He was 100% real and told it like it was...

[MrRaNdOmPOTATO]

much better than bieber and akon

[oliviathefolkie]

I'm fairly sure that the first time Oscar sang this song was in 1969 back when he was orange.

[willboywonder]

kids' educational television just isn't the same.

[jabroni897]

hey oscar.. newspapers can be recycled now

[ljcowner]

Yeah, he was originally orange, but he turned to mildew green as a result of living in the garbage can.

[nilewow]

1:41 rusty trombone hahahhaha

[Seeno321]

...And they wonder why we do drugs.

[PurpleAnimeDucks]

I will forever love the things I grew up with, and I hate that they change classics.

[revdrboddicker3]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT

[PiratePicard]

I HAVE to do a Thrash Cover Metal of this song.

[SonichuFan4Ever]

Oscar is the ultimate Environmentalist in a materalistic, consumerist, wasteful society.

[Steinbach1984]

Here in the Netherlands, at least in Amsterdam and Utrecht, the refuse collectors were on a strike for a few weeks. It was such a mess, Oscar would have loved it!

[jm31563]

hmmm...I'm feelin' a bit TRASHY today....

[thewierdoman]

This was when kid shows was good and FOR KIDS!

[robotchickenlover341]

I made oscar the grouch my youtube picture. It is amazing for trolling

[Wizzelteats]

Rusty Trombone... hahaha!

[crazynick66]

i use to watch this at my grandma when i was 6 i loved this show my fav part was elmo

[oreoree]

This is for my cousin Gary.....Gary just replace trash with Gary, its such a song that is sooo us!!! listen close you will get it..lmao...I LOVE YOU!!! :o)

[dAforgetful01]

ones monsters trash is another monsters treasure! 8D

[SteinerKD]

A long time ago I gave a Mac applet of this to a friend, what it did was whenever you emptied your trash Oscar popped up from the trashcan and sang "I love it because it's trash", unfortunately though his daughter loved it so much that she threw away every file and folder she could find just to hear him sing again. :)

[TofuPuppets]

i love trash 2 WHITE TRASH! Oh wait no i dont....

[DRYKJ17]

Aaaah! not this song!! x.x lolz

[sfpopp1]

I saw a video from 1970 and oscar had no hands I think that they were hidden or they

were cut off how can the hands be there how

[locohellraiser]

i love thrash metal

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Ragged or Rotten or Rusty - great alliteration here - fun rhyme too. LOve this when I was 4

[cheapthrillvids]

this is my favourite song and im 21!! lmao :)

[Bestclips00]

I love this!

[mariachristina55]

except its not a trombone, its a trumpet haha

[Steinbach1984]

Yes, Oscar was everyone's favourite, because he wasn't naive or nice like the rest. Without him, Sesame Street would have been damn saccharine!

[crashblast23returns2]

Oscar looks fluffy.

[danteras23]

I love Oscar!!!

[GreenlandCat]

why are all the sesame characters addicts

[UndeadChris]

T(h)rash til' death!! \m/

[1teehee]

Get it together Grouch .. xDD

[cochranand]

wow his mother must really love him gave him a old shoe on his birthday lol

[undertow1985]

my fav version is the 1969 one when he was orange

[RCbohemian]

Oscar was my very favorite when I was little. I always thought that the people on Sesame Street made Oscar live in that trash can! Didn't register that he CHOSE to live there! LMAO

[NeeneeFOoOoO]

Oscaar&This Sonqq Are Lovee <3

[crshero05]

that was a trumpet

[Paula7886]

nothing wrong with a good rusty trombone

[PrettyCrappyUsername]

a rusty trambone? wtf? ew.

i searched to see what everyone was making the big deal about, and thats just plain nasty.

but i doubt they intended for it to be something sexual.

but ew, barf.

[MiraMorningstar]

I don't love trash, but I love Oscar. :]

[BecZ100]

Not intending to be nit-picky, but it's a trumpet, not a trombone. Still an excellent video, though.

[alienpotatoes]

my playstation network account is OSCUR_THE_GROUCH. i know its spelled wrong but all caps and lower case oscar_the_grouch was already taken no matter how i tried it this was the only way i could get it to work :(. i love OSCUR!

[Krazyk408]

I should put this as a rap song lol

[kissmyassfrantz]

OSCAR IS SO POSTMODERN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steventean]

what if oscar met a dinosaur?

[KenMacMillan]

Oscar's first green body, look how clean he is.

[Ghostwriter14]

Now there you have my alphabet of trash. From A to Z. Now go away! Awesome job. Thanks for the upload. Catch ya on the flip side.

[Cathie8791]

Who could forget this song? I know every word and I haven't heard it since I was probably about 8! (I'm 40 now). ;)

[OaksiRat]

I really can't say that I agree with him...so he can have all of my trash. ;)

[bioniclelover621]

thats not even a freakn trombone idiot. gosh are you serious?

[kavedude77]

Oscar is my favorite sesame street character.

[RobertGary1]

I remember back in the 70's Oscar would occasionally be smoking a cigar.

[Xandtha]

haha...i've always thought i was a weirdo when i was young; all my friends loved elmo and big bird and everyone, i was the 'trash girl' who loved oscar- grouch, grungy and everything! i still do! oscar YOU ROCK! trash forever!

[grummangoose]

LOL 1:42....a rusty trombone? Oscar loves rusty trombones? HAHA!

[Ghostwriter14]

And there you have my alphabet of trash. Now go away! I used to listen to this all the time! Great upload.  Catch ya on the flip side.

[JustMelodie]

:D I love vintage Sesame Street cllips. Seems like it always meant a little but more than what was said ^^

~*WinglessAngel*~

[EsmereldaJune18]

[Loakum]

Sesame Street: teaching kids it's cool to be homeless since 1970...

[qn5r]

GODLIKE

[198952572]

Lol for some reason when I was little I used to think oscar was a girl. Lol I have no idea why I thought that now :3

[Fooma777]

hmm that is in fact a trumpet...

[artchel1]

I like that shoes if it's not only dirty...

[delvechick]

OMG I had the sesame street album in 1970 with this song on it! Loved it then love it now!!!

[GreenMasterplan]

My mom used to work at PBS. On all of the computers in her office, the little trash icon was Oscar's trash can. When you dragged a file in there he'd pop out and sing "I LOVE TRASH."

[LiamichelleHerber]

hahah

[twilightfanpire0513]

I miss watching this stuff when I was like 3. Gts. I even had a tickle me elmo <3

[TheFranchise316]

This is my Halloween costume tonight lol. Gonna be singing this all night haha!

[BabyJezuzRape]

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

That has to be one of the most beautiful things I ever heard! :)

[BlastAchmed]

LOL. It's a catchy tune!

[coltonte3]

[DannyMcB]

[Pandaro2]

[m28caroline1]

[als47]

[Jiggalicious27]

[That1scarydude]

Like kids would know what a rusty trombone is

[MRGarbhanSheridan]

You're too kind

[MRGarbhanSheridan]

Hmmm?

[MRGarbhanSheridan]

Hello?

[MRGarbhanSheridan]

Remember Toronto

[DangerousxPleasure]

he does love trash!! :o

[brendanrivers]

i fucking love trash too. this song means so much to me

[revmary]

What a shame stupid liberals like Bill Marr say Oscar is politically uncorrect. Homeless negatives....Gees did they ever get the tour of his home, he made maria go down it one day, he has a swimming pool and everything

[EnderTXenocide]

i think you may have eaten lead paint as a childe, im sure bill MAHR has no prob with oscar, if its anyone it would be conservatives that would have a prob with it if anyone

[NorrYtt]

It's actually a bugle, not a trumpet, and certainly not a trombone! ;)

[jlkology05]

i guess they couldnt fir a tromeobne in it, lol and they needed something to rhyme with "fold".

[theamazing39]

True. They did it for the sake of the rhyme. I do not think they were aware of the sexual connotation in 1970.

[PRINCESSROCKYT]

Ok, either its been a REAL long ass time since I've seen SS or Oscar suntans near a nuclear power plant because he is super green!

[wolfschmidt11]

I LOVE TRASH!

[mastermalone]

What just occured to me is that they don't make trash cans like Oscar's anymore.

[jennvier]

HAHAHHA!!!  I have loved this guy since I was a kid!!!

[darryl349]

lol this is the toronto them song for the garbage strike lmao

[14icedtambourines]

i love trash too

[askmeif]

Oscar the grouch was a teaching tool for inner city children to accept homeless living out of trash cans and how many of them were outwardly pessimistic about society.

[ImageoftheMench]

I guess what they say is true.

One man's trash is Oscar's treasure.

[ImageoftheMench]

I guess what they say is true..

One man's trash is Oscar's treasure.

[MagicManFilms]

he made a mistake on the rusty trombone part thats really a bugle

[NegatiefAgressief]

I love the sesame street!

From childhood to today

[KITTY200000000000]

wow this guy really loves trash!

pass it on

[TheKittyBandito]

and they say he had untreated depression?

he sounds pretty happy to me

[acidkid1984]

i cant believe he said rusty trombone

[AquaMarine2627]

Oscar is AWESOME!!!

[AquaMarine2627]

I love Oscar

[lectrick]

I love how "rusty trombone" was intentionally put in the lyrics as a sexual reference (see the wikipedia entry for it)

[OscarTheTrashMonster]

Heyyy thats Me haha but not oscar the grouch x

[MsBfromRV]

NOW SCRAM!!!

[Christoph777]

Oscar just represents another aspect of humanity. Lets admit it, we've all got a little bit of Oscar the Grouch in us.

[Penelopeb155]

I hate how they made Oscar nicer. I like him better as the mean old grouch who lives in a trash can. He was awesome!

[pepperink]

They just don't make children's entertainment like they used to. This is such high-quality writing.

[Planetvideogame]

Wtf were they smoking when they made this character?! xD Must've been some good Weed xD

[cloudstrife2000bc]

I agree with you totally!! Cartoons and kids' shows then were really made for children, unlike now. The songs were well written and the jokes then were really simple yet funny, even now after so many years i still think it's funny! haha!

[kotraquin]

they dumb down a lot of "childrens" programs today. btw my 4 yr old loves this song.

[glenakin]

im 24 and i remember watching sesame street every week and i was so happy. These days, the crap on TV for kids ... damn. I feel sorry for them. Entertainment has gone down the drain. I had sesame street. My nephew has Ben 10. WTF!?

[musicfariy]

here here!!

[Prfctdrk]

@pepperink well dude lookit the Carol Burnett Show the skit about the Dentist, that was top-notch, never see any television like that again....

[200105218]

@pepperink Now days its just high pitched voices and animation....

[GetFeisty]

They wouldn't say 'rusty trombone' nowadays either!! Of course, because it's one of those things the FCC says you can't say on TV.

[PuffyTopianMan]

Oscar will be in Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonians.

[aliasmadrona]

Daryl!!!!

[theZodiacDigital]

someone make a midi of thisss
