Sesame Street - Simon The Soundman gives Bert music lessons

[MrTornado300]

He was probably in a hurry to get away from bert

[afriendofbean]

@MrTornado300 Either that or, maybe he was in a hurry to perform for a talent show where Simon the Soundman was going to show his talent how he can make any sound he wants come out of his mouth. Especially since he told Bert in the beginning that he was just practicing (I guess he was practicing the music he wanted to play out of his mouth to get ready for the talent show) and as soon as Bert saw him, it was almost time for him to report to the theater to get ready for the show.

[MrTornado300]

Why is he yelling for Ernie at the end?

[afriendofbean]

@MrTornado300 Maybe because Ernie is his best friend, and he likes Ernie more than anyone else. Also maybe because he doesn't know anyone else in that area except Ernie if Ernie was also close by in the park playing with Rubber Ducky or something. (I probably would wonder if Ernie would grab Glady's to stop her from chasing Bert which could be another reason why he yelled for Ernie).

I wonder if Simon Soundman got impatient when he taught Bert how to do the tuba.

[afriendofbean]

I'm sure he did since he said to Bert that he doesn't have all day at 1:54 and at 2:42 he told Bert that he's in a hurry. (I guess he must be in a hurry to attend a talent show where he is making the tuba sound out of his mouth since at 0:49 he said that he was practicing).

[genchandy]

I wish I had that talent!

[Smartboy8877]

@genchandy

It would be a nice thing to be able to put on you resume!

[afriendofbean]

@Smartboy8877 Yes that would be great. (I know someone in real life who can make different sounds out of his mouth where he did something called "Beat Boxing" in a talent show making different sounds out of his mouth). I don't know what kind of job Simon Soundman has but, since he wears a suit, I wonder if he has a job as a sound effect attendant for movies which he does in front of cameras in television studios.

@afriendofbean

Once again, I have been offered a lot of interesting food for thought by a fellow You Tuber! Very happy to have met you!

[afriendofbean]

@Smartboy8877 Nice to meet you too.

"my favorite song: oompha in the park with ned!"

[ZNKChannel]

It would be funny if when Bert tries to do the tuba sound the first 2 times, a wheeze & a burp.

[videoguy100]

I agree, LOL.

[afriendofbean]

I agree. It would sound very funny. However, I guess if Bert made a burp sound, it would sound like a frog and it would be funny if Kermit The Frog came by and said "is there another frog somewhere in the park?"

[ZNKChannel]

@afriendofbean I don't think Kermit would fall for that gag.

[afriendofbean]

@ZNKChannel Yes maybe not. The reason I thought Kermit might fall for it was because, in a river I once heard the sound of a frog croaking at night and it sounded like a burp. Also, when I heard someone in real life burp, someone once thought it sounded like a frog. These are the reasons why I thought Kermit would fall for it.

[LamangoKaijura]

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAH!

[Ynnepchan]

WTF how is that possible. So random! XD

[LamangoKaijura]

T0000BA T0000BA T0000BA!

[Ynnepchan]

XDDD

[KingSlifer]

I can just picture Stewie from Family Guy following fat people around while playing this song on the tuba.

[symmetryx]

I always crack up when he opens his mouth and nothing comes out.

*deep breath*....=D....*silence*

[Quietschquatsch]

My mother´s favourite clip with Simon the soundman. But my personal favourit is: I want to buy a *tatataratata tatataratata taaaaatatataaaaaaaaaa*

[videoguy100]

Anybody have the Simon Soundman skit when he sounds out the word "call" and makes a bird call, a cow call, a pig call, and a telephone call? I haven't seen this one since the late 1980s. It would be nice if this was posted.

[DanBoccia]

I love Simon the Soundman. And adding Bert and Gladys the cow make it even better. Do you have the sketch where Simon Soundman does the weather report? It's hilarious! Please let me know.

[lizzykat2]

That was so funny

[Benzy19]

Funny and Awesome!

[lion371]

I thought bet's favorite song was doin the pigeon.

[Smartboy8877]

@lion371

I thought so too! Maybe he developed an appreciation for this song after that episode had already been made. Kind of like ABBA's "Dancing Queen" was my favorite song until I was introduced to the rap song "The Power in my Purse"! "Marci X" forever!

[videoguy100]

This is my favorite Simon Soundman clip. Thank you for reposting this.

[videoguy100]

Also my first Simon Soundman clip that I have seen.

[teenangel93]

I've remembered watching this back in my 2nd grade music class. LOL

[b3d]

What year was this from?

[wattamack4]

Somewhere from the late 80's.

[videoguy100]

1988.

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

It's from 1988. I know it was first seen sometime in the 19th Season.

[ISNorden]

I missed this too; four stars!

[jonnytbird]
