Sesame Street: Bobby McFerrin Alphabet Song

[MikelG00]

It's so great, how the alphabet sounds so awesome if he sings ist. He is such a good singer and performer.

[jazzophile]

I haven't seen this since it was originally on the show!

[nellie2581]

I love Bobby McFerrin

[bkeels002]

That owl plays a wicked saxophone too.

[renshumainichi]

[wally3331]

Is that a man or a woman?

[ebdy85]

[catlover3340]

@pawnseed5 I know right!

[pawneed5]

I never knew the ABC song could be that cool. Bobby, your the best!

[dce040186]

Yes he is definately not dead. Lol and I even better than ever if you ask me he is way better than back then. I wish they could have just done :11 - :20 the whole time that sounded awesome

[awesumazn88]

MARRY ME

[kickthemdk1]

Anyone else think the furry dude sounds like every other character on sesame street. "What kind of cut rate production is this?"

[BatsyandBirdboy]

Bobby makes the ABC's seem badass.

[grapebuy789]

He is awesome. How does he do that?

[defdet03]

[dimitralemee]

omg he's amazinggggggggggggggggggg !

[valarierenee]

Bobby killed it. What's he up to these days?

[janglebear]

@valarierenee ...he committed suicide a little bit after he brought out "don't worry be happy"... very unfortunate, we lost a great musician that day.

[IoValde]

@janglebear Lol

[gamerz000]

@janglebear that's a lot of crap.

[Von2785]

@janglebear you dumbass. he's alive and well.

[MXWraithsLady]

@janglebear he is not dead... he did not commit suicide...he is alive and well and there are thoughts that he is putting to gether a super group to debut in 2012

[ThePopculturist]

@janglebear Not sure if trolling or very stupid....

[Zarrinkoub]

@janglebear RIP Bobby Mcferrin, we will never forget you.

[freshpbluessoul]

@Zarrinkoub rip !!!? he's not dead

[nandoanalog]

@Zarrinkoub he's still alive...

[sumphoneo]

@Zarrinkoub Bobby Mcferrin is still alive! There were rumors that were spread in the 1990s saying that he committed suicide. The story was false. Please do your research!

[sumphoneo]

@janglebear He's still alive and well! the story about him committing suicide was a rumor. the story was false! please do your research!

[bejamillion2]

@sumphoneo yea..why would he ever commit suicide

[crazyjosh456]

sounds like a teenager lol.

[juggalojack13]

Kindergarten should have an advanced alphabet class that teaches this.

[goldteefforerbody]

>mfw Bobby is like...."errr yea I can try to teach you."

[everybodypoops11]

why'd those damn kids have to ruin this!!

[adelina1241]

THIS GUYS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[mj6400]

[KaratekaKid]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

First of all, is that black person a woman?

if not, is he urkle?

[pournam]

@DIANAROSS4EVER

Thats Bobby McFerrin, a man with an amazing vocal range.

;)

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

@pournam LOL no I'm talking about the guy/woman who goes with the kids

[haha9999]

0:47-1:07 = pure listening pleasure.

[areisativo]

[brooklynkoehn]

[DontReadMySpam]

[tacoman202]

Family guy brought me here.

[SpongLena]

..I just wanna see him fall down some stairs.

[tacoman202]

Thumbs up if Family Guy brought you here.

[mamaflora1]

Wow just Wow



[Schmity151]

Hey bobby why dont you go up there with the owl and fall off and make really hilarious noises... lol

[andyandyband]

Mother Creator

~~ Loves you ~~

[cssgenie]

8 bits sounds lmao

[KaleeCali]

I thought Family Guy was just over-exaggerateing o.o

[TECUnicorn]

Oh shut the fuck up Bobby. You know you can sing the damn alphabet like a boss.

[mrsamman123456]

@TECUnicorn wow give it up its a littlekid video

[Rabje1234]

wait... what the hell went wrong with sesame street? O_O i just watched a video with fuckin Stevie Wonder in it and now Bobby McFerrin? damn

[ytcomposer]

@Rabje1234: Das dang rite. :D

[kh2freek]

His intonation is un-fucking-matchable

[Kilmori]

Lucky kids.

[SanRafaelSwell]

Bobby is THE single most talented vocalist of all time. This is no where near his best. Search for Drive and his version of Blackbird. You will not be disappointed!!!

[Chanty29]

That is totally hot!!! I've played this so many times.

[AB11342]

Awesome :)

[neenee1819]

qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq­qqqquuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[colinbarnette0]

1:40 :D

[gfan0080]

back in the day where sesame street was awesome before all the politically correct junk that has taken over the country today

[loosebrooseable]

i wish we were teaching children this alphabet song instead.

[enjs1191]

2 havent had a childhood ... sadly

[fuDISENGAGEou]

@enjs1191 They are probably jealous because they do not know their alphabet.

[MrLeomonkey07]

Lol, the owl was my favorite musician for a while. Now I'm a Louis Armstrong fan, because he sounds just like the owl.

[MrVincentR]

and the good children get there first taste of a true musician

[mohinderbauer]

More parents should expose their children to these old Sesame Street clips.

[drgmdp]

@mohinderbauer More parents should expose their children to these Bobby McFerrin vids.

[supaafly23]

last time i watched sesame street? about 15 years ago, strange how it became my favourite video this week

[Talibaz]

Why Justin Bieber n stuff if we can listen to Bobby McFerrin ... -.-'

[homerosalazar]

@Talibaz because Justin Bieber is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, it's impossible and useless to compare. Please, stop writing comments like this one =)

[Maazel456]

@homerosalazar It is not useless to compare. I completely agree that they are different, but Bobby McFerrin is undoubtedly on a much higher skill lever than Mr. Bieber.

[LiturgicalChants]

@Maazel456 Justin Bieber could take voice couching from Mr. McFerrin. ;-)

[lukemuffinz]

now do it backwards..lol

[juniorafrifa]

This is awesome !!

[fluffygutss]

i love bobby's intonation, makes me have faith in the musical world lol

[Mikairapau]

long live bobby macferrin

[julesrendell]

can kids tv please get back to this amazingness?

[Chel093086]

@julesrendell Amen to that. I have yet to find anything that tops old school Sesame Street!

[ALZHEM]

The one who dislikes it doesn't know the alphabel...

[Finkldorkin]

the one person who disliked this was probably Bobby McFerrin...thinking" awww man, i could have done that better I bet"...

lol..

Bobby ROCKS!!!

[bookwormjazz]

i'm going to hunt down that one FOOL that disliked this!

[gbfreak87]

Did anyone notice the solfa hand signs?

[fluffygutss]

@gbfreak87 nah not solfa :) he seems to mimic playing a double bass, doing the fingers with his left hand, but i wouldn't doubt for a second that he knows solfa!

[gbfreak87]

@fluffygutss Ah. I wasn't watching it too closely, some of his signs looked like them! My mistake. Thanks for letting me know :)

[oreo1593]

Bobby Mcferrin is simply amazing 

[polarkreis201]

[VanDieken1990]

[TheKayandblake]

[topgun989cc]

[Inahzi13]

Best ABC's ?

[Rambizzyfbaby]

Wow that was great. How did he find that melody so quick ? I never witness such a thing before ! great !

[GabrielKnightz]

Where in heavens name did all these Good people go? where has the innocent n fun world i once knew gone?

[amoskowitz0103]

@GabrielKnightz Gabriel, I wish I knew. But you know what, if you look hard enough, you can find them. God bless.

[jnat61]

@GabrielKnightz Its still around you just need to remember that and share it.

[Flugelhornjazz]

GabrielKnightz I'm with you. How healing it is to let myself feel like a kid again...Bobby also did an excellent job with the adult audience using the pentatonic scale...also youtube. Check it out.

[mryellow123]

@GabrielKnightz We sold it off to the Chinese for increased "quality of life"......... How'd that work out?

[mryellow123]

@GabrielKnightz Actually the saddest thing is "These are the people in your neighborhood" has become "everyone is a pedophile, haven't your heard about the internet"

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

@GabrielKnightz the bad people bought them all off

[richkid2311]

@GabrielKnightz you woke up

[Essenji]

@GabrielKnightz Trolls took it.

[Mspendragon1972]

@GabrielKnightz .....indeed where has a gone Gabriel?? AGREED ;(

[MultipleAdam]

@GabrielKnightz two words...Justin Bieber

[hyrulemusic]

Bobby was a master.

[Swango]

@hyrulemusic Bobby is still a master.

[craplesscrap]

@hyrulemusic Was? He's definitely still THE master!

[jebsievers]

@craplesscrap Well sure, but if you've seen "The Last Dragon", you'll remember that Leroy is THE master.

[misssweetiepie10]

catchy

[antsamthompson9]

Very nice.

[pendulousphallus]

Great!

[princess7strawberry]

McFerrin is the man!

[datbaby1990]

Bobby McFerrin...there's no one like him! Classic... I love it! =)
