I have had this playing in the back of my mind for YEARS....and so I couldn't exactly remember the lyrics anymore so I decided to look it up. And boy am I glad to have found this, Thank You kind sir/madam for putting it up. *sigh* the days when Sesame street wasn't complete crap!
ah. sesame street was way ahead of its time. if only i wasn't six at the time i could have put it to use. i went through all of grade seven learning about economic water consumption and recycling to save the environment.
For those of you that are unaware of how this system works, this song is a form of hypnosis. Now you've all grown up thinking that if you let your sinks run, the water will waste. How are you wasting water? Is the water going to disappear into thin air? Its all garbage. Think about it for a second.
@israelgaribaldi Do you realize how EXPENSIVE it is to treat and retreat sewage water? Keep in mind that all water leaving the home becomes sewage water.
Yes, water does come back, but money does not. Treating water costs money and upkeep. And you can't count on erratic weather to always provide you with water, especially during droughts.
Man this used to be my favourite song when I was a kid! I had it on a cassette tape and I must've rewound it so many times, listening to it over and over again :)
Thanks for posting it! ... it made me really thirsty haha.
::sniffles:: i miss being a kid. So many memories me singing to this. I was only 4 singing this song about water. Im fuckin 21 worrying about paying my stupid water bill!
@LuckyCocos It was better back then now this show is so gay!! ...*sigh* i wish they start back on the live issues like being conned from a dude in an overcoat........I need the DVD's for my kids when i get it so that they won't turn gay
"Doooonnn't waaaaassste waaaater! water water water water water!" stuck in my head since I was a wee little tot, youtube is a wonderful thing to relive old memories. :)
That is how I was with the other song "Everybody Eats"! lol that is my song too. I love these songs, being as though I have kids I can listen to them again, lmaoo.
This is one of the only things I remember completely clearly from my childhood. Whenever I'd talk about it I'd get looked at like I was crazy, no one else ever remembered it. After a while I was convinced that I'd imagined it. Thanks for vindicating me! Now to email this to everyone who called me crazy.
Thanks for posting this great clip, this is where I learned about water conservation when I was a kid. The lessons I learned from this video are still with me today.
@hollywoodliberal i know right?! ive had this song in my head for years, couldn't remember if id made it up or not. sesame street infects our consciousness
i used to sing this song to myself ALL the time when i was a little kid. I think my fav part of sesame street was emulating the kids in the 'real life' song clips
I was just brushing my teeth and this song popped into my head. I remembered only "Don't waste water" and the scenes of faucets (which is essentially the entire clip)... Ah, the wonders of Youtube! Damn, almost 15 years later and I still remember the song! Now that's a message that sticks with ya!
yes we all Do know For this song here all our sesame street with Aaron walter are here too and all sesame street songs From the street I'm happy meet you and me only
I'm thirsty now. Im glad I have a bottle of dasai water right here on the table.
