Classic Sesame Street - Judy Collins and Snuffy

[DueTrombe]

That's cute! It's not in the style of a madrigal, more the style of a Mozart opera.

[Maestrojosh87]

@DueTrombe Or an early Mozart symphony.

[its4it]

Snuffy sure sounds different in this one.

[crazycellist973]

Who is the voice of Snuffy? (Singing voice)

[conoba]

How dada.

[zacandtaylorrule]

When did Josh Groban do the voice of Snuffy haha. (Just kidding of course)

[jillharcke]

Does ANYONE know where I can get a copy of the song that was sung between Buffy St Marie and Big Bird? It went like this, "I believe what you believe and I believe in you. If you say there's a A Snufflelupagus, I do too." I love that song. It is a great song about belief! Anyone?

[muppetfan33]

I thought Judy Collins was more of a folk singer than an opera singer. Nice song, though.

[crazycellist973]

@muppetfan33 You can definitely get that from her singing! I think she is known for her eclectic-ness.

[bjordan102]

Can ANYBODY find Judy on Sesame Street singing "A Song Without a Rhyme" with other muppets?

[jeffacosta123]

For some reason everytime I watch this video, I think of Southern California. it's tough to explain. Snuffy was my favorite sesame street character because I thought of him as a magical elephant.

[alleycatmeow2001]

I wonder what it would be like to get hit with his enormous snuffle lol

[afriendofbean]

When I first saw this skit when I was younger, I didn't know that it was Snuffy because of his high tenor voice singing. I thought that it was a different snuffleupagus. Then when I heard Snuffy's voice at the end of the skit not singing but said, "Oh I'm sorry", I thought it was Snuffy inside another snuffleupagus, or I thought that Snuffy was doing the voiceover for another snuffleupagus.

theres NOWAY that wud teech kids the alphabet!! its well2 confusin and they wud keep saying letters over n over agen

[davidewetube]

@emma4991 Kids were actually a lot smarter back then. Not only did we learn the alphabet, but many of us even learned how to use real words and spell them correctly.

[bjordan102]

When or how can we see more segments of Judy Collins on Sesame Street?

[WDWSmilez]

How is Snuffy operated??? He is my favorite chracter on Sesame Street

[SpinneyBigBird1095]

@WDWSmilez Sorry this comment is three years too late, but I just read it... Actually, if you look up Marty Robinson (Snuffy currently)'s Sesame Street Blog it gives a tour inside the Snuffy puppet. It's cool!

[fl1992]

Singer Judy Collins was also a guest star on The Muppet Show's 3rd season back in the year 1978. She's a very talented person!

[DRUMMERMAN77]

2nd season tms

[welchm8]

Awesome! And Judy Collins must be magic, as she appears to be the first adult to notice Snuffy!

[colleen4ever]

@welchm8 It's not that the adults couldn't see him, it's that he always either showed up late or he left before they came.

[ISNorden]

Sounds as if they borrowed an aria from Mozart here, judging by my time in music-appreciation class. You're right that Snuffy doesn't sound like himself until the spoken "Oh, I'm sorry", though: four stars for breaking the "rules" of kidvid in general, and of Sesame Street in particular.

[Tekka]

Thats kind of freaky. lol

[Lectronimo]

It might have been nice to give Mr. Snuffleupagus maybe a bouquet of cabbages.

[thekingof8]

Was this when Jerry Nelson played Snuffy?  Why didn't he do it?

[AnnitheDiva]

I wonder whose idea this was.

[jonnytbird4789]

I never knew Brian Muehl did Snuffy!

[sawing14s]

Just the singing voice, I think.
