@1000000ed normally, i'm more about the documentary type sesame street clips with the cool instrumentals where they visit like the pencil factory or something. sometimes, the 'puppet songs' are a bit too much for me (but some are great!) but this one, well, i think it's brilliant in so many ways. the first being that 'cookie' can mean whatever you want it to mean. and their dance moves...perfect. the puppets rock studio 54.
@parkercadie1 exactly and this song is from 1977 way before Elmo was even a cast member. In fact I have the 45 of this song and it has Cookie, Grover and Big Bird on the cover!
lol one of the monster dancing kept swinging their head back and forth, and now i have a song stuck in my " i swing my head back and forth i swig my head back and forth " lol!
Poor guy- Cookie fanatics are notoriously stingy about sharing their personal cookies. Unless, of course, you're giving them some muffin in exchange for their cookies.
Elmo's already had all his cookies for the night- that's why all he cares about is dancing...
@disneynut06 "Leave poor, innocent Elmo alone! He has not "taken over" the show in any respect, so no need to be acting like bullies!"
Obviously you haven't been watching Sesame Street from the mid 1990s-present day. Even some of the behind the scenes people on Sesame Street think he's way overexposed.
@jualopez76 dude cookie monster is the best even though im a 6th grader i stil love sesame streeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ME LEFT ME COOKIE AT SCHOOL NO REALLY AND I WAS SINGING THIS SONG IN SCHOOL BECAUSE I LOST IT.... AND ALL THE POPULAR GIRLS TOLD ME TO SHUT UP BUT I DIDN'T ANYWAY THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING I EVER DID IN SCHOOL BECAUSE I GOT SO MUCH ATTENTION AND I WAS HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song but near the end of the video I start feeling sad for the Cookie Monster, the guy is crying out for help and no one cares, not even the "great Elmo" he just gives a damn, just like everyone else.
I looked up this video five days ago, and it's been stuck in my head ever since.My friends are giving me funny looks for breaking into a disco jive for no reason.
@jrbrook76: The "Elmo" puppet was around since the mid-1970s. It wasn't till the '80s that Elmo became an "official" character on the Street..Problem is Sesame Street likes to recycle puppets because they are expensive to produce. That's why you see an early "Elmo" apperence...
@parkercadie1 DONT BLAME ELMO, NOT HIS FAULT THAT KIDS LIKE HIM. THIS IS HOW TELEVISION WORKS. WHAT THE MASSES LIKE IS WHAT THEY GET. KIDS LOVE ELMO, SO WE GET ELMO! SORRY
I know, right?! I remember seeing it that year and I guess it must have been 3490, like you said. I was 13 and still keeping tabs on SS. I had never seen this skit before but my immediate reaction was "Wow. They even keep DISCO stuff alive. Who else does that?!." Back then you could still find ancient stuff in the rotation going back even further than this. (I had no way of knowing when this was shot, but I intuitively understood that the Elmo character didn't exist yet, .)
That monster disco should sell cookies at its cafe so Cookie can have as many as he wants and won't have to worry about losing the one single cookie he braught.
Haha I was watching this with my niece today. This song got stuck in my head and I was laughing so hard seeing the monsters "BOOGIE DOWN".. Sorry was that the proper 70's terms? lol anyways very cute song.
The singers in the beginning SURE SEEM TO KNOW WHERE THE CAMERA IS b/c 1st theyr looking to the side (where the camera is) THEN strait ahead (where the camera moved to) LOLOLOL
Disco music in general. There was another awesome sketch from this era where Cookie did a disco song with the girls which is a parody of the Theme from Shaft(!!)
There were bad ones, people just forgot about them. Same thing thirty years ago about the bad kids shows of today. Sesame Street's not the same, but it's still good.
This was when Elmo was just a background character.(i miss those days!) Cookie Monster was the same thing in the first episode. At first he just ate the letter of the day and Kermit got mad it him, as Kermit always does.
FUNNY VERY FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
