Sesame Street - Gimme Five (Audio Cleaned Up & Tracked)

[JerryG918]

A bona five... I mean fide classic indeed! :)

[astron33]

So happy that I was born in the 70's!

[Charla1606]

Wow! OMG! I remember this! So 70's 2! Luv it! Thnx 4 postin!

[jesusonhi]

This song rocks!!!

[RCast]

I like how you can tell if a number is evenly divisible by 5 just by looking at it. If a number ends with 5 or 0, it's a multiple of 5. If it ends with 0, then it would be a product of an even number times 5, if it ends with 5, then it's the product of an odd number times 5. Five, cinco, cinq, cinque, wu, and don't stop, just GO!!!

25 years later and I still find myself humming this song. They were surprisingly good singers and those harmonies are brilliant.

[WatchVenusSpa]

the ONLY song worth listening to from Sesame Street Fever!

[TRONVAILUU]

i loved this song when i was a kid

[havensmayor]

This was my shit.

[Louie0046]

These guys are better than some of today’s artist!

[shydmples]

The nast note was pure harmony...loved that part since I was a kid...and I'm 40....lol

[pzeud0nym]

I had this song in my head yesterday. So smooth.

[derrtyblack8]

Wow!! I thought I would never see this again...soooo long ago I saw this when I was 4..now I'm 33..thanks for the memories..I'm still a kid at heart..

[taesia915]

@derrtyblack8 me too!!!!

[abernam]

Willie Dynamite breaking down his pimp hand, the number five!

[ChakaKhanian]

I knew Luis was gonna break it down in espanol!

[CelesteK]

What did Luis say?

[thezoostation]

@CelesteK

He says "Hi, I am Luis. I like the number 5 the most. Did you know that 3 + 2 = 5 and 4 + 1 = 5 also? Ah, how smooth. Number 5, ah."

[CelesteK]

@thezoostation Thanks. :)

[D2Kprime]

Poor Bob. He's struggling so hard to stay in step. I love him anyway! :-)

[quirpco]

JimmyMVideoJukebox: FYI - looks like this was recorded January 6, 1978. Enter "Sesame Street - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"...it's Judy Collins singing to some kids on a beach. At the very, very end, it shows the director slate for "Gimme Five".

[mrhilly666]

Is it just me or is herbert the pervert of family a background singer

[josymon]

The best part about the song was Luis singing in Spanish. You couldn't understand what he was saying,but it was so cool nonetheless.

[raggedyanarchist]

@josymon yeah, he's pretty sexy in this song, but I hear he makes his girlfriends dress up in a five costume...

[cebrum1]

OMG! YESSSSS!!! I'm so happy this is posted! Thought that I'd never see this again!!! I saw it one times YEARS ago, and fell in love with it!!! I always hoped I'd see it again!!! Thanks!!!!

[tyrese3745]

What exactly was Luis speking part at 2:20? Can somebody translate if they can, please?

[80zdude4]

Really cool skit. Gimme 5 = 5 stars!

[quirpco]

I wonder if this was inspired by the song "Float On" by The Floaters?

[JimmyMVideoJukebox]

@quirpco it was for sure..just too bad "float on" wasnt a tight groove and flow like this

[quirpco]

@JimmyMVideoJukebox I agree, this one does flow better!

[ZeusDaGOD]

@JimmyMVideoJukebox I beg to differ! Float On was a stone groove man and it was happening! But this here man definitely got me to learning my numbers, ya dig? Don't be going round dissin the Floaters, man!

[Termite30]

@quirpco I was thinking the same thing about The Floaters too, lol. It was one of my favorites too. I remember it from when I was about 2 or 3 years old, 20+ years ago. Sesame street sucks now.

[LifeIsSoDangGood]

Awesome! This was when Sesame Street was so fresh!! I so remember this!!

[calichickdiva]

this one used to be my favorite but i dont remember the first guy from seseme street

[JimmyMVideoJukebox]

@calichickdiva the first guy was "david" on sesame street (played by the late great northern calloway - great song writer and producer he was)

[libragyrl1]

I love this it brought back memories of watching this with my kids. I dont know if anyone remembers "There's a hole in the bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza." I can still sing it with my adult kids. LOL

[scoobydogg23]

I've always loved this skit. :)

[stephenhkovacs]

Especially Bob's falsetto in this song at 1:32 or whatever. Listen, and you'll know.

[stephenhkovacs]

Especially Bob's falsetto in this song at 1:32 or whatever. Listen, and you'll know. I actually got the falsetto not only from Barry Gibb, but also Bob. FIVE!!! is a great number.

[stephenhkovacs]

I meant at 1:15.

[Twomoretymes2]

I also remembered this song for 20+ years without hearing it! I just viewed it for the first time since I was about 5 years old.

[CountryRoadTrip]

It's a testament to how great this show was that I only saw this bit ONE time when I was a kid, but I remembered the song's chorus for 20+ years until I saw it again just now.

[TheBlaquebutterfly]

I have been looking for this since I was 5. Bob's part kills me

[HootsytheOwl]

This has to be my favorite clip from Sesame Street. I just love how they dance and sing together....you just know they're having fun! It's totally awesome.
