[whutzat]

So glad to find this! I've been singing it all my life.

[qUUilter]

Going to sing it at our Ladybug Release Party in the Lords Park Zoo on July 16. Come by if you're near Elgin, IL!

[logo10heli]

OMG !!! I was just singing this song to my wife... And guess what... it's on youtube ! Thanks for posting this !

[tenderheart17]

lol..".they talked about the high price of furniture and rugs, and fire insurance for lady bugs..." I'm sure those words wouldn't have meant a thing to little kids...but such a cute song. ; )

[Landmbfan]

Thanks for putting that on here. My son danced like a mad man when he was 2 to that song! He's now 22 and of course doesn't remember it at all but you certainly made my day.

[CablDragon]

This does bring back memories. other "cuties" to check out: the chicken or the egg; ten tiny turtles; and that number 6 song with the fiddlin' farmer.

[AmatoRe07]

well thanks a freaking lot!! Now I can't get the dang song out of my head!!!!!

[choirfreak26]

You are my new hero! Thanks so much for uploading this! Back when Sesame Street was worth watching... :D

[Melyssa450]

At the Ladybugs Picnic

[gaughan13]

Singing along

[pgbluster]

There are more frames/second as well! Thanks for this improvement!

[awsomeletter3thtsaws]

is that the number of the day oh my god

[JudeMaris]

Marvelously catchy song :D

[garyouze2ORAG]

I dunno why but this song reminds me of my mom.

Also insert stock comment about how when I was a kid this motivated me, etc. etc. etc.

[sabrin321]

I still sing this song to count..just remembered to check it on youtube when I had to shut down my computer & I sang the song twice before restarting it

[ChrisC11291980]

I was born in 1980, a loyal Muppet Show/Sesame Street lad through and through, so it's before my time but this looks and sounds familiar.

[akilliesmma]

To this day i cant count to 12 without hearing this song in my head, Sesame Street ruled my childhood

[PaniLusia]

hehe same here

[disneyfan85]

To an extent, neither can I. At least where the counting part is concerned.

[popgirl2112]

I know dude. Sesame Street really helped me with my math, letters, numbers, etc. Sesame Street ruled my childhood, too.

[sidcrowe]

From when Sesame Street was great.

It stinks, now :(

[wonderglory]

Too cute for words.

[Idoljunky32]

I love this song!! Takes me back to my childhood when childrens programing was way better than the crap that they show today for kids. Heck I heard that Cookie Monster can't eat cookies anymore! What the heck is the world coming to! Thanks for posting this!

ladybug picnic=)

[pippi8790]

Best minutes of my life. (When I hear this song)

[pippi8790]

My uncle sings this and plays it on his guitar every Thanksgiving. His version it better. BUT! Still love this it's great. I will never forget this song.

[kamasutraoil]

i wonder who sang it. kinda sounds like ringo starr.

[iggypopped]

This was written, sung and created by Bud Lucky. He's been working at Pixar for a while now (almost 2 decades I think) and recently directed the Pixar short "Boundin", the one about the sheered sheep and the Jackelope =)

I'd say he's pretty much a minor diety within the realm of animation. Not even counting all the diehard 30-something fans he has just from this cartoon.

[kamasutraoil]

OOOOOOOOOh yeah, he's great.  He's better than Dr. Seuss, even.

[glowworm2]

Bud Lucky directed "Boundin"? That would explain why it was so cute and catchy-almost too cute.

[honestlyiamsmiling]

this gives me will to live!!!!

[butterysteam]

omg this makes me miss my grama, I spent summers at her house watching Sesame Street. The other song that comes to mind is the bubbles song where all the kids are blowing bubbles.

[illegalsmilereturns]

We have a nice vibe rollin here, lets keep it up ppl :D

[kll510]

I was counting with my class and broke out into this song. The kids all gave me a weird look and I had to explain what I was singing. LOL

[illegalsmilereturns]

I am 32 and still catch myself hummin or singing this at work and stuff LOL! starrrrrs

[Dutchelm05]

your not alone:)

[garyouze2ORAG]

High price of furnature and rugs...classic

[sarumitai]

I was teaching numbers in class one day and started singing this and then I got lost in some memories. It was fun for me, but strange for the kids.

1-2-3

4-5-6

7-8-9

10-11-12

Lady bugs came to the lady bug's picnic.

[therealjennydowd]

I'm so glad this is on YouTube! We are having a lady bug infestation in our house and I started counting how many were on my ceiling one day and this song immediately came into my head. LOL. Ahhh...the memories.

[iweberdudei]

I tell ya they just dont write cute songs like that anymore. What creative minds. I remember that jingle well 30 years later!

[MommaSunshine]

I watched this when I was little, what a fun memory.

[BlackGhost9182]

good times

[michellec0791]

it's a dog driving the fire engine

[beforethedawn09]

My dad added to and adapted the song and sang it to me all the time when I was little, and now it's the first song I can play on guitar. It's so cute!

[upendolove]

How great would it've been to work on Sesame Street? This clip gives me the warm and fuzzies! I'm all little and innocent again.

[calamtykel]

Awesome! DUH - it took me 30 some years, but I finally get it - "fire insurance for ladybugs" -- (a play on the nursery rhyme Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away home, your house is in fire, your children all gone..") This is a great memory. I still find myself counting this way sometimes when I count by threes - when I get to 12, the words "Ladybugs came to the ladybug picnic" are always there! Weird how this stuff sticks in your head!

[jkwoodward]

this makes me happy! thanks so much for the post :D

[dedinside]

great vid...but what the hell is driving the fire engine! its some kinda...thing!

[jennifer1108]

Wow, what a great video to bring back memories! This was always a fun to watch!

[mountaingoat2004]

Fact: 12 can also mean a dozen of something.

[kll510]

Even now as an adult I still crack up laughing when they sing about telling knock knock jokes and the ladybugs knock their heads together. I always laughed at that everytime I saw it as a kid too. This is such a great childhood memory. Thanks for posting it.

[JMcH]

Ditto.

[kookiekit]

:P no... i saw it in the early 80s.. they used the same shorts a lot, they we so good!

[kookiekit]

thanks for the synched version of this! i've been looiing for a decent copy of this for ages. its a bit blurry, but its worth it. Damn, I'm showing my ages, having danced abot to this when I was tiny!

[wattamack4]

And that was 37 years ago right?

[bumperyak]

12 in a dozen
