Pinball Number Count Compilation

[PoetessX]

I just thought of something awesome! This would be a great song for Glee. Seeing as they've already done Conjunction Junction. This would be a great way of introducing the jazz band.

[spankrod]

I'm going to dance to this, at my funeral.

Wait.

[PoetessX]

@spankrod Hahahaha I feel you though!

[spankrod]

I credit old-school Sesame Street, for helping me to discover my inner-awesomeness.

Also, dat funk.

[synthastia]

7:40 of gorgeously animated 70's funk bliss.

[hageja01]

Press 5 on your keyboard while watching this and you get a SEEEEEVVEEEAAAAEEENN!!

[hageja01]

Anyone else feel like 1 got shafted? Didn't get a spot at all. I guess 1 will always be alone.

[martisco]

Watching this, makes me realize what the point of being stoned is. The point of being stoned, is so you can feel as happy as you did when you were 3 years old, watching Sesame Street.

[martisco]

The only cooler music from my childhood was Schoolhouse Rock's VERB. I fucking sat through this whole video... twice.

[punxsutawneyphyllis]

Great job on transitioning the video! It's like it's all one long song!

[DementedDollEE]

This takes me back to when I was 5 ♥

[DementedDollEE]

I lmao when they showed this on family Guy.

[hermsmeyer]

Umm,... I faved not raved...thank you auto-correct! Haha

[hermsmeyer]

Funny you should mention wanting this to be done for reals...I'm currently recreating this in 3D...why I raved for reference! Thank you for posting!

[Tez2399]

WTF? No number 1...no wonder I couldn't tell time as a child. lol.

[Heineken500]

Thanks for sharing. Brings back many great memories; a simpler time that reasonable people yearn for.

[piliage]

My kid turns 3 tomorrow, and today we watched the Sesame Street Old School DVD and he asked me top repeat this for him 10 times while he danced.

I've never been so proud in my life.

[darkeagle006]

@piliage That's fantastic! I'll be disappointed if my kids don't dig this tune!

[TheStacykeys]

love the bass in this song!

[amw945]

sesame street is the best children show ever period

[AwesomeFace50]

Thumbs up if Kilplix sent you here.

[TheBeebe1972]

Yeah but wasn't there also one of these for #1?

[KewlioMZX]

I never realized how little most of these pinball clips have to do with the numbers they represent...

[SessoMattoGobbles]

@ElizabithPeacemaker girl, you trippin. get over yourself and go watch the moonlanding. this is AMAZING and good INNOCENT number counting. and groovy music...which, as has been mentioned, good enough to hold up 30 years later and lemme tell you, i'd be *fine* bumpin this on my stereo. numbers and all!

[genpro65]

Ain't a soul around tryin' to create something even close to this now

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Musical instrument solos (heard 30 seconds into each skit) by number represented:

2, 4, 9, 12 = steel drum

3, 8, 11 = Wurlitzer electric piano

5, 6, 7, 10 = soprano saxophone

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Something tells me there is a Wurlitzer electric piano being played during the number 3 version of this animated skit (and for, perhaps, a few other numbers between 1-12).

[MrDingez]

Sesame street in Funky Town

[nil0bject]

12 for president

[nauris706]

this shit is so FUNKY 

[202dinthemke]

ive listened to this one two three 4 5 six seven eight 9 times ..eleven twelve...

[pbrskater26]

They dont have that any more..so sad

[ElizabithPeacemaker]

This is propaganda at it's best... notice the subliminals. Course you don't... you watch T.V.

[Kiamisha24]

This just made my day!!! Love this

[mommyofdakota]

Taking me back to kindergarden in a groovy way! Old School Sesame Street RULES!!

[honkhall9999]

Back when Sesame Street was good. Now it fucking sucks.

[brennanaman1]

@honkhall9999 hahahahaha loooooooooooool it sucks coz you aint 5 anymore ya nut job hahaha

[bixby1345]

[SC11420]

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE MORNING I'VE HAD!

[KhaymanHence666]

666

[TheSRalston]

GET DA FUNK OUTTA MA FACE!! How many shows for children gave us kids these great lessons with that damn strong funk as a backup? Hell more entertaining that watching that gay Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, LOL...

[goldendragon3369]

The mechanical stuff were a little bit of a clone to the Nitrome Game 'Skywire' I'm also suprised that it has different qualities!

[beaker256]

You left out one

[pigpork49]

Feels like I'm tripping......oh yeah

[Pakaiya]

You a fool for this!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

[ForTheYoungATHeart73]

wow...back in the days when learning how to count was groovy...LOL

[sahem62896]

never knew it was the Pointer Sisters singing that!

[xXCPDaBeastXx]

Thats a very elaborate pinball machine.

[CMGnHacker]

Nostalgia

[coydog0]

Isn't it odd that music on a kids show was good enough to hold up 30 years later, but music on kid's shows today is something no one would get caught dead listening to on their car stereo?

[JadaTheDreamer]

Janelle Monae said that Many Moonas had sampled this and I just had to see for myself! IT DOES!!!! Voodoo doo doo dooo voodoo dooo doo doo doo voodoo doodoo!

[ecp2014]

This beat is really impossible to get a hold of! So funky.

[petehuws]

@ecp2014 I want it for my car!

[CupcakeExplosion11]

Was There ever a 1?

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Well, you know, you can reedit it now and make it even LONGER since the 10-minute limit was eliminated! Peace.

[cutekarol77]

1 2 3 4 5! 6 7 8 9 10! 11 12!

[versatilethearcane]

man, was it always this funky?....i honestly wouldn't blame someone for bumping this in their car...the pointer sisters were something serious....i just wish i could find the sheet music for it

[King6ft1]

It's incredible how watching something so basic as a child can have such an impact on our lives

[deethr]

I always wanted to do this at open mic with a mate and shout out random numbers "5"! But many the music is hard!

[HyperWolfTiger]

I wish that all the number counts and shorts where on a DVD. They where my favorite part I always wanted the number to be the highest so that the animation would last longer. What was the one with the rat person?

[WolfeyWolf]

Jazz/Funk on sesame street years ago....Now they have Katy Perry? .....

[jetmetman34]

I still sing it too..

[drayven57]

lol repetitive 123456789101112

[jasonws1972]

The Pointer Sisters did such a cool job with this song! It left a lasting impression on me as a child, some 38 years later I still recall it so vividly!

[mrtaffymia]

I've always loved this!



[saintofconsequence]

this is the coolest song known to mankind. i am sure of it

[IBEXxify]

[Jennyluvsthe90s]

Ah I remember this on Family Guy. Stewie was the pinball lol :D But this takes me back to seeing this in Sesame Street when I was a kid!

[razgar02]

could these lyrics get any stupider?

[JohnnyVonHifi]

@razgar02 it was made for public television, to help children learn to count. You know that, right?

[stephenmctowley]

ha hai loved this song when i wa a kid no wonder my bet friend is sid, mr a and all that

[qwiklerner]

Winning!

[kokowe1998]

[wokian2]

the logest, most enjoyable nostalgic torture ever!

I even heard Barney Stinson at number "7" LOL

[ericallen1976]

I feel 3 again. Love it!

[1982Moonbird]

Just turned 29 and I finally got to see all the numbers! I can die happy now

[jaredini]

@jtuff That comment made me giggle!

[Julie2272]

I have a couple of weird stories to share. :) When I was in 4th grade, I laughed so hard at something, I blacked out (lack of O2). Then when I was in 5th grade I was spinning around on the playground during recess, trying to make myself dizzy...(remember that game)...well I slipped, fell and hit my head on the ice and blacked. My point? is that when I blacked out each time...this pinball sequence is what I remember playing in my head . No kidding! Born in 1972.

[frkdeek]

@Julie2272 LMAO!!!!!!! That is a great story. I'm still giggling. ;)

[iamthewalrus7654]

wait i was born in '95, how do i remember all of this? good stuff!

[noelio67]

Was born in '78 and grew up with this.......FUUUUNNNNKKKKKKKYYY­YYYYYY!!!!!

[blacksultan06]

This is dope. This is my childhood. It is some of the funkiest shit ever.

[vigilante11485]

When I hear that music, all I can think is, that is SOOOOO '70's! But it's still awesome!

[DangerDave140]

Whoa... that's a blast from the past.

[tarynolyvia]

This is my favorite part ever from the show. Eleven!

[TheLostInAustin]

For all the followers of Mr. Reynolds, the funky solo starts at 3:04 and again at 3:44.

[tjc197]

Bob Reynolds sent me here! =D

[alsheats]

My daughter really enjoyed your video.



[xxXUnderdogHeroesXxx]

From the like of this I don't understand.

12 people they should be ashamed of them selves.

This is good education!

[unrooolie]

12 people dont know how to count to 12!

[Aspire85]

Whoa, seriously nostalgia trip. I didn't realise how quality that beat actually was!

[ceptor73]

Do you people have any idea how expensive this pinball machine would be to keep in working condition?

[6jillitor6]

I wont feel complete til i watch this 12 times. i gained a new OCD.

[col227]

This is just too cool for words!!!! I always remember this the most from Sesame Street. Love it

[xjames118]

My god, it's like a drug. FAR more unearthly than I remember. Like something from The Invisibles or Doom Squad. From now on, this will be my psychic back-up. When my enemies imprison me in the Nth Dimension of Sorrow, I will have it playing in my mind as an emergency consciousness loop. That, and my ringtone.

[customshoguntoys1978]

i like how the police officer always gets run over by the pin ball. that should happen more often lol

[krishnm]

it's all about the steel drum solo

[tonytamin]

12 people don't know how to count correctly.

[kchammaer]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS AMAZING

[prestonparish]

nicely done!

[SiddityMic]

12 dislikes...that's why are kids are dumb now...those are the 12 numb-nuts that would probably flunk a blood test or something.

[rkmugen]

Exactly "12" people dislike this vid.... hahaha!!!

[suzieprincess]

Who would, "dislike" this?!? There is never a shortage of idiots...

[mollyz2000]

I actually wonder if there was one for #1, but was never uploaded or found on YouTube. Just a thought.

[hoopersghost]

@mollyz2000: Nope, there was no Pinball Number Count cartoon for #1, because very few episodes of Sesame Street had 1 as "number of the day" until the mid-1980s. So, except for Henson's old "baker" films, most of the older series of counting clips began with #2.

[zedric260]

@Lemon020202, I'm 39 and i still sing this all the time, I haven't seen it in about 30 years. 11 dislikes? they either don't like cool music, something educational or they just can't count, fuck'm all. And remember " a loaf of bread, a carton of milk and a stick of butter." don't forget, lol. Jim Henson is and always will be a legend.

[AnnaK40]

one of the BEST, most favourite, most funkiest ,memorable fun, counting song Ive ever learned! and now my kids luv it too! thankyou Sesame Street! xoxo

I still sing the tune to them!

[nirate]

How could anyone ever dislike this?

[josiahyareff]

Oh, man, I STILL sing this. Everywhere. It just pops into my head and I regress for a moment. Good times! One two three, four five, six seven eight nine ten, eleven twelve! AH ah ah!

[mollyz2000]

@josiahyareff Me too! I've been humming/singing it at work, and I get strange looks like "Why is she singing something about numbers.." Apparently a few co-workers don't like Sesame Street. I always will though.

[botz1967]

OMG, you hit it on the head! My parents also cranked up the TV when this came on. Learning numbers and "funk" as a child. Awesome! How about Capital I or Lowercase N? These tunes are priceless... :)

[pattypopping]

There's no number 1 anybody notice that, also, no number 0 though you could write a thesis on if 0 is an number A friends bldg has a floor 0

[davejrogers]

It's all about 4

[pattypopping]

I liked it.. LIKERS outnumbrer disliker 50.4-1

[SinSynn]

Holy shit what a great jam.....

[Lemon020202]

THIS IS THE BEST SHIT EVER!!! FUCK U,...WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CREATIVE SIDE OF THIS LEARNING! FUCK YEAH! BEST SHIT EVER!!! 123456789101112!!!! I STILL SING THIS SHIT IN THE SHOWER!! ALL THE TIME! ..and i'm 28

[FireyBlaze101]

This was always my favorite part of SS.  I miss those days.

[illspiritual]

Steel drums, FUCK YEAH!

[jftuff]

My condolences to the families of balloon man, golf man, the crew of the tug boat, the police officer, hamburger man and the witch. Man, than witch was smoked.

[bbeckford]

7:14 ITS A GHOST BALL!

[WorldsBestGuitarists]

The rhythms in this are *ridiculously* complex. Walt Kraemer is an unheralded genius.

[Boski391]

Pinball Rules!!! I loved growing up watching this....

[yetonGhul]

awesome so funky..i now play music, now i can hear what are the ingrediants in that Music that i loved as a child.

[sweetcgardner]

I'M 37 and i remember this like it was yesterday its been stuck in my head for all those years now that's a great catchy tune! it rocks

[rencrow]

Oh man I remember seeing this as a kid. My all time fave.

[DragonLord1975]

ALL OF THEM? SWEEET!

[deanchamp]

Holy shit i used to love this. this was the best part of Ses St, i'm sure this is what got me into video games... and funk lol

[agioni99]

Hahahahahah  holy fuck! memories from like a 1/4 century ago! LOL!!!!!!!!

My parents have a home video of me watching this when I was like 5 yrs old!

[seanacker21]

Awesome.

[thanatology111274]

I absolutely loved this song...I believe it is permanently embedded in my brain:)

[dslgunner1977]

@thanatology111274 When I was a toddler in the late 70's, and my folks were watching TV in their bedroom, they would check on Sesame Street every now and then, and if this sketch came on, they would crank the volume up real loud just to see how quickly I would drop whatever I was doing, and run as fast as I could to their room and plop down right in front of the TV set. They always joked about that when I was growing up. This was ALWAYS my absolute favorite, and still is to this day!

[teslaphysics]

I so miss these little sketches from my youth!

[sd0104]

anyone dislikes this did NOT grow up watching this. this is classic sesame street.

[ferfoxakeladdy]

I always loved the way they used 20's Art Deco in animation and decoration in the 70's. School folders when I was a kid. The crazy stuff in the back of Spencer's Gifts. Remember Spencer's Gifts with that crazy shit in the back? Velvet black light posters! Fiber optic lamps! Nipple warmers! Great stuff!!!

[dslgunner1977]

@ferfoxakeladdy Yea, we had Spencers in Chicago. I went to the one at North Riverside mall, back in the late 70's, and all through the 80's and 90's...

[TwcFan]

Man! Until many years ago, I was like how could I still remember this song. Nice!

[ginger6103]

I loved this as a child!!

[sharms888]

4RRRRRRRRRRR ! EPIC

[SookieeWookiee]

i love this because it was sooo very salvadore dali style... this compilation rocks!

[masterninjaFC]

this was a journey of adventure and imagination. it inspired motivation in me and made me so happy as a child. when the pin ball falls down the hole at the beginning of each number segment i imagined my self as the ball every time.It was nice to feel that innocence once again.this and the yodeling game cliff hanger from the price is right were my 2 favorite things to watch as a child.

[firebreeze]

The best fucking thing ever. Totally seconding the person who said "I'm so glad I grew up watching this". Nothing beats the golden age of Sesame Street, man.

[SlurpeeQueen21]

sesame street OLD SCHOOL" 123456789 10 11 12 ' lol totally like kool'

[quikfax]

So there never was a "1"?

I would definitely play any pinbal game that did all this. It would be HUGE!

[tjcurrie]

I actually sat and watched it all. Again. 25 years later. Funny.

[acerullo1]

Remember watching it like it was yesterday!

[TheGrumpstein]

I think the guys who made this film must have been smoking something ;-).

[DuJuanNonly]

@sharms888 who ever it isis still doing back floats in crazy cash!

[sharms888]

Does anyone know who the voices are? just pure n natural soul. 4rrrrrrrrr digit

[darganx]

@sharms888 It's the Pointer Sisters - CTW sure knew how to get them..

[makowals]

@sharms888 The Pointer Sisters.

[sharms888]

Thats some funky shit !!



[Monkgangsta]

This song is awesome

[dreamingpixelsdotnet]

Oh man, this brings back memories. Thanks for putting this all together!

[strawbanana12]

I LOVE being an 80's baby. There's nothing better than this shit on TV now...NOTHING!!!

[mollyz2000]

@strawbanana12 I agree! I wish a lot of the older Sesame Street Episodes would get aired again, for old-time sake. If there's any kids that like & watch it now, they should see it when it first started too.

[djbenefreak]

I Love It <3

[yeaps300]

5 people who dislike this video cant count

[HoustonRules]

@yeaps300 Oh, I think they can count...just not with nearly as much funk as we can!!!

[applepilover]

Oh, God. Nostalgia EVERYWHERE!!!!

[ed0uble]

I'm so glad I grew up watching this.

[DuJuanNonly]

@ed0uble too bad kids now a days have nothing fun like what we had. the cartoons now a days teach them to be perfect brats, ironic they have a cartoon called brats. lmao.

[trakehnen]

How can we be sure that there never was a pinball video for the number 1?

[HoustonRules]

@trakehnen Because they hardly ever used the number 1 on the show back then. The only reason the "baker films" had a number one edition was that Henson wanted it to complete the series, since he put so much of himself in that particular series of segments. But even then, that one "Song of One" was hardly ever shown. Coincidentally, most of my generation that watched Sesame Street only saw it once on the show.

[lumabi25]

How cool to find this. An absolute classic that brings back memories. Always found this segment on the show bizarre, especially the menacing ways they said the numbers. Me thinks some green stuff played a part in its composition.
