I only ever saw this once 30+ years ago, and while at first I was sure I had never seen it at all, it sort of all came back to me as I watched it. Isn't that odd for only seeing it once and then it gets mentally tucked away?

Haven't seen this in ages--could have sworn this came on the original Electric Company, but I take Sesame Workshop's word for it.  The man's "playing" each letter like an instrument is a novel way of showing that letters stand for sounds...though I always felt sorry for the S that sagged on the floor, and a little afraid of that Z chasing the man off like a stinging insect!

I don't remember ever seeing this cartoon on Sesame Street. It is interesting, though, how it teaches the sounds represented by some letters.

I haven't seen this clip in about 25 years!

If you listen closely at the beginning, just before the music begins, you can hear a director or someone give a count of three.

I caught that by accident when I heard this with the volume up.
