Sesame Street - The Wasteroon Song

[LAPSEDCATHOLIC1]

Oh. I learned so much from watching this.........never waste water!!!

And it's true; the water can't be used again.

[jasonhoule]

I started my dishwasher with less than half a load in it... and then my conscience started singing this song.

[NationalSoundImage]

@jasonhoule Creepy...

[loveforlogos]

Bruce Cayard didn't do this one. ArtistMike Studios did.

[words4kids]

sorry, still think it's 'wasteroo.' Listen to the lyrics-- has to rhyme with '(something)-poo' and 'thing or two.'

[nickj12]

I remember this. Very cute.

[LAPSEDCATHOLIC1]

I do not waste water...........but if it were never used again, then how come we have water each day? Interesting.......yet, I believe this flick is also important to watch.

[Andy3612]

HAHAHA after years of searching for like my first memory...............

[subgrv27]

Lyrics, anyone?

[kimbobuck1]

Wow, I haven't seen this since I was little! And I never knew that "wasteroon" is what they were saying. I actually thought they were saying "wasteroo". Close enough I guess. lol :)

[504trinette]

@kimbobuck1 I thought it was wasteroo, too!!

[GillyWhitfootHaysend]

Does anybody have a clip of the one about the dead dog? That was also a Bruce Caynard animation.

[angeli390]

OMG! I was talking about this with someone and they looked at me like I was crazy. I was even singing the song for them. I'm glad you posted this. lol

[bexmyxescapex]

I have been looking for this for YEARS! I no longer feel insane!

[corgholio]

lol this song is one of my earliest memories. . .

[504trinette]

I am 35 years old, and I still hear this song when I brush my teeth or wash my face.

[Sparxe]

@504trinette Phew! I thought it was just me :)

[samsticka]

I remember this. Just so you know, "Wasteroon" is not a word.

[paultheuglydog]

I always waste water. I live in a place with plenty of water so I can waste as much as I want.

[Jibjub80]

I must confess something. I'm a wasteroon. I take long showers, and use lots of water when washing dishes. I like them clean. My parents would never let me do the dishes, because I used too much water. But then, I would take a glass from the cabinet when THEY did the dishes. I'd pour a glass of water, and get a mouthful of suds, because they did a poor job rinsing. Being a wasteroon is nice. They never made me do the dishes. Hahaha

[redguitar4990]

Ok this may sound silly but does anyone know where I can find a clip of another "Don't Waste Water" skit by Sesame Street, the one with the little fishy out in the pond and every time the boy turns on the water in the house more of the fishy's water drains out until he is gasping for breath lol??? This video scarred me for life and I think about it every time I turn the damn sink on, and for the first time in my life I found someone else who it bothered too and we want to see it! Any ideas?

[dejavu149]

I thought i was the only one!! thats the first thing a thought about when i saw this clip. I was so afraid to waste water. I still think about it up to this day!!

[DeedlitsChobits]

it was a Health Canada skit at the end it had a black ! with Kids something as its logo and it was like "this advertisement was funded by the Government of Canada" lol anyways me and my bf remember it too hope that helps

[Jibjub80]

This video always cracked me up. These water drops are hilarious. Them and the yip yip martians.

[capitalc21]

Are you a wasteroon?...seriously...

[glompedbybunnies]

Those water drops always scared the shit out of me.

[loogle]

lol yeah, it seems as though they're trying to put the fear of god into kids so that they don't waste water. They look so angry when they say "Are you a wasteroon!?".

[SchroNyah]

Oh wow I haven't seen this since I was like 4.

[timothy1256]

haha when i was young i thought it said "are you a piece of poo"

[kingofdufferin]

HA HA HA. I always felt so bad when they called me a wasteroon.

[Sudoxation]

Til this day I always feel bad when I realized I'm wasting water.

[cinderella318]

I've been looking for this for years. It made my night even though Mel B did't win. Don't waste water

Georgians.

[waldo2129]

Oh man. I think its so funny that I remembered this song from when I was a kid. I guess the message worked. =P

[cupcakejam]

I always feel incredible guilt if i take long showers- now I know why.....

[ruwise2]

I heard a funny honk in the beginning of the song!

[carlitosbug]

Were there five flamingoes at the end of this song?

[tpirman1982]

Yes. On the shower curtain.

[carlitosbug]

Why do the water drops have Southern accents?

[onlyyesterdaynow]

It doesn't matter, it may vary but it may be based in the Southern part of America. Btw what is the differnce bnetween Northern and Southern accent?

[carlitosbug]

But it does matter!

[cvfdfdfdf]

Yes, I understand what you are trying to say, like they have to speak English, but what matters is not their appearance, but their talent or ability.

[moatguy]

Funny but also important to watch.

[onlyyesterdaynow]

I know that's why Sesame Street is an educational program.

[onlyyesterdaynow]

This is hilarious- children wasting water!

[gutchman84]

the singing voice in this skit sounds funny

[onlyyesterdaynow]

I guess it's cause the waterdrops have Southern accents.
