Sesame St: B.B. sings about rollerskating for the 1st time

[AmeeraTheXPrincess]

when i was little i can roller skate but now i don't remember how to roller skate

[ayame316]

This is great, I remember this, but I think there was an even older skit where Big Bird sings a song as he's skating and it goes something like, "Round and around and around and around, that's how it goes with wheels on my toes, Round and around and around and around, that's how it feels with wheels on my heels." Does anyone remember that, or have it??? (Actually my mom requests this one!)

I remember that song too. I saw it for the first time in the summer of 1987. I thought it was great! I do not know how old it was then. Do you know if it ever got uploaded onto You Tube?

Big Bird is the one who made me want to skate at eight years old. he inspired me to keep going and even if you fall down, to keep trying. Haven't skated now in years but I miss it.

big bird is the man

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

this is back when they made the show where kids could actually relate to it. I'm sure all of you remember a "Frankie" from back when you were growing up

@LincolnHeightsrocks

I have known more than my share of "Frankies"! They can be a real pain to deal with!

[Pikachuiscool]

Does anyone have the skit where Big Bird roller skates all around Sesame Street and they sing a big song about it?

[noreaga12326]

this is a very important lesson for kids (besides learning how to rollerskate) Not to make fun of anybody for what ever reason.

[fdzgzd]

The strap-ons show me when this episode was made.

Caroll Spinney is indeed talented, the way he roller skates while playing Big Bird!

[hairsprayman111]

Yeah! And he skates again in season 40 too!

[colleen4ever]

Yeah, right! If it were THAT easy to tame a bully in real life....

let's not decieve our kids, huh? Seome guys are gonna make fun of ya no matter WHAT ya tell them.

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

This is one of the few times Big Bird's parents are mentioned.

Skating on cobblestones like that takes real skill!
