Bob McGrath alumni of Marquette High School (Ottawa, IL)!

The formal name for a guy who makes candles is a "CHANDLER".

[Listersmate2]

I don't know why Sesame Street can't be THIS educational anymore!!!!!

[Jamiethewookie]

Bob McGrath is a legend FACT!

[mcpeanutful]

Candlemaker: I pour some wax into a mold

And I wait until it's hard and cold

So if you like s'mores a lot

My candle will toast your marshmallows hot!

@1RichardHunt I can always tell if Jim is working a puppet

[DanaAbel30]

This combines both the past and present together. I used to enjoy chandling when I went to Cedar Point.

Great Job! Thanks for posting! Keep up the great work!

Of course, what I want most are the versions from the seventies. But there's also two other versions which, like this one, I do remember seeing a few times as a kid. One involed Big Bird imagining Bob as a little boy singing the song with a fireman and mail carrier. And then there was Hoots the Owl singing a nighttime version of the song. It would be great if those two were uploaded. Anyone?

[Garrettk41]

"You've got horse sense."

Someone told that to me this morning. I don't remember what brought it up, but it must have been in connection with the Kentucky Derby.

[DRUMMERMAN77]

the candlemaker is from the a. mish candle making company

[brianklick]

after bob thanks washington for agreeing to show him around it would have been funny if they had washington udder quietly "i hate this job"

[camolanphy]

It would have fit the meter better if they had said "chandler" instead of candle-maker...

[1RichardHunt]

Yeah, maybe. But the term "candle maker" is much more understandable.

[DrJuliusStrangepork]

Great short! I think I remember this one.

[ProTwoAm]

This is so classic! Many thanks for posting! :-)

[hoopersghost]

Cool, I'd been looking for this version--thanks for uploading!

[Garrettk41]

Got any more versions of this song, Buddy?

[BuddyBoy600]

I got "Who are the insects in your neighborhood?" Which is sung by Placido Flammingo with a bee and Bob as a spider. Taken from #2587. It also an episode which feature the operetta version of "The Isty-Bisty Spieder."

[Garrettk41]

Bring it on.

[MarshalGrover]

No, it's Kevin Clash.

[MarshalGrover]

What an interesting twist on the classic song!

[Garrettk41]

Oh good. Another version of this great song, quite possibly my favorite Sesame Street song ever. So, that's Dave Goelz as the saddler?

[BuddyBoy600]

Yes, that's Dave Goelz! Dave Goelz has performed Mr. Between, China Shop owner (from Simon the Soundman finds some animals), and Grover's Helper, Pino the Monster.
