Sesame Street - Sing

[grapebuy789]

Bob has such a good voice.

[penpusher]

Of course Carpenters' version of "Sing" was the smash hit. It's funny when you hear the children's chorus on that recording because they'd all be over 50 years old now!

[DevonMcDonald1]

Actually this song was song by cookie monster and the rest before just for ur info

[DevonMcDonald1]

Actually the song has been sung by cookie monster and the rest before to correct u

[wabankik]

Wow, That Luis plays an F to A ,F to G barre,C,G to F barre again!, Great Tune!-"We all Live in a Capital I" .

[julumnahinzulm]

I remember singing this to my kids as a lullabye :)

[rgalang74]

WOW ! check out thoes bell bottoms and pointy colar!

[WhiterThanYall]

That lil girl did NOT want to be there lol she kept lookin around like "how do I get out of here..." & then she looked at Susan like "what do you think you're doing with my hands? Stop that."

[Litetorture]

I'll be forty years old next month 12/17 and I'd give everything up to go back to that simple place in time when my mom would make me a pbj sandwich or cookies and milk and make sure I was in front of the set to hear the message and lesson of the day with all those wonderful characters.....Thank you mommy :)

[ShigaKyou]

This song will never leave my head, and I'm okay with that. ^__^

[RoxannaG2]

this brings back so many happy memories

[tokyolover86]

I'm crying now... the memories...

[theflippermcblipp3r]

how old is that episode

[NantoVision1]

@theflippermcblipp3r It's from 1971, so 40 years old.

[Pocockable]

I wish I lived on Sesame Street, where children are part of everyday life. It would be great to be holding little kids in my lap and pushing them in the tire swing.

[avaflava1]

lol. Were singing this in my MIDDLE SCHOOL choir XD

[iamspoty980]

I miss these childhood memories. :') I wish I was a kid again :(

[epsteinsmutha1]

Man, Sesame Street used to be brilliant.

Screw Elmo, the ping-pong ball eyed hellspawn that it is.

Bob and Emilio RULE!

[ZeroBeatness]

I started to sing along :') i didnt even know i knew the words to it! wow... childhood memories<3

[filzphan]

Considering that this program is aimed solely for a very young demographic audience,this show and it's song writers wrote some very good songs that made their way into the mainstream musical markets,with this song "Sing"(number 3 in 1973),"Rubber Duckie"(number 16 in 1970),"Bein' Green" and "Rainbow Connection"(number 25 in 1979).Pretty decent success considering.

[Superstarseven]

@filzphan Rainbow Connection has nothing to do with Sesame Street. The song was written specifically for The Muppet Movie and has never been sung by Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, etc.

[filzphan]

@Superstarseven

Yeah,I know.My point was simply that some of the songs that were originally "sung" by a few of the muppets were more than just simple little ditties.They were songs that were good enough to make it into the Top 40.

[Basssinger86]

I think this is a song everyone should listen every once in a while when they're feeling down. Because there is something about this song that makes you happy.

[cbowman61]

thanks for more memory

[cbowman61]

just damn cool god bless sesame street

[sccarte]

Thank you so much for posting this! This version of this song means so much to me.

[jase1311]

my mom used to sing this to me when i was very little when she put me to bed...ill never forget those great innocent times i spent with my mom going to the park

[powerbead]

The innocence that this song transpires is beyond imagination. Those were simple times then. This song depicts a child so well, that it transports me to my childhood. Thanks for posting this.

[carmenriots]

I'm pretty sure there is a home movie of me dancing around the house singing this when I was 3 or so. I love this song so much <3

[RCast]

Google's Spanish translation of "Sing". Canta, canta una canción, canta en voz alta, cantar fuerte, cantar de las cosas buenas no malas, cantar de felicidad, no triste, canta, canta una canción, que sea sencillo para durar toda la vida larga, no te preocupes que no es lo suficientemente bueno para todos los demás para escuchar, cantar, cantar una canción

I wonder how this song would sound like in Mandarin Chinese.

[glibster]

@RCast Thanks for the translation. This song sounds so beautiful in Spanish - especially when Luis is singing it.

[torontonian1978]

i'm so proud to be a 70's child

[Badger31201]

God bless all the cast and originators of Sesame Street, for opening up education to so many underprivileged inner city kids-- and us spoiled suburban kids too-- of all backgrounds. You will never know how many lives you changed for the better.

[KristaDawn1985]

These are the days when an adult man could hold a child on his lap without being considered a perv. I miss those days. (even though I wasn't alive then)

[TnseWlms]

Did Susan say "Obama" at 0:08?

[daegoman42]

@TnseWlms That can't be what she said, but it sure as heck sounds like it.

[TwinHoN]

@TnseWlms She says "Can we go LA LA"

[JOHNDEEBANK]

@TnseWlms It sure sounded like it at 1st. I played over and over. She says "u can always say la lala."

[danimoth2]

bricks were shat

[lejukeboxer1]

- just found this german broadcast on youtube.com:

watch? v=n7x9lqSFZXo&feature=related

- Sing a Song in a german version - performed by Peter Alexander!!

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

And to think Joe also wrote the theme to "Three's Company" as well - he is most definitely missed!

[Dekobee]

I have always liked this version the best. LONG LIVE SESAME STREET!!!

[Pocockable]

I wish most neighbourhoods (and apartment blocks!) were like Sesame Street - with kids being a big part of everyday life.

[thomasbce]

whose the kid @ 0:44 covering his ears and picking his nose?

[Mysterycat74]

I used to listen to all these Sesame Street Vinyl record albums and loved it when Luis would sing in Spanish. I would listen to them SO many times that I could sing the songs IN Spanish, only I had NO idea if I was pronouncing the words correctly or what I was singing! I'd just sing what I heard!

[Dreamline78]

What a sweet rendition. Really takes me back, and I wasn't even alive when this came out! (late 70's child) One thing....this is set up to make it look as though they're outdoors, so where is that tire swing supposed to be suspended from?

[zacandtaylorrule]

Love this one. So beautiful. I miss the old Sesame Street and am glad you are back Nanto.

[dh1173]

Whenever I hear this, I tear up and realize how much times have changed and how its flown. Welcome back Nanto 2.0!!! =)

[NantoVision1]

Actually it's Nanto 5.0, but thanks!

And I definitely agree with your sentiments.

[mysteriousangioletta]

@dh1173 whenever i was little, this was the song my dad and i used to sing, it was (and i suppose still is) our song.

[Garrettk41]

Wonderful song. Definitely one of Joe's (and Sesame Street's for that matter) best.

[MarshalGrover]

It may seem daunting, but it's nice that you're replacing the old copies your videos with HQ versions. They look great!
