Classic Sesame Street - Take My Hand

[Garrettk41]

Had the kid's grownup friends talked, I can totally hear Frank Oz as the man who takes him to the park and Richard Hunt as the one who takes him to the zoo. Now what about the woman from the second verse?

hopefully if a kid is so young to need an adult to help him cross, he won't be alone on a street.

But, yeah, this song is not necessarily good advice--not in hindsight.

Voice of this kid We will go to the zoo together.

aww. The little boy reminds me of Gobo Fraggle (along with the orange skin and music style.) Jerry Nelson does the best little boy voices!

[IlaughedIcried]

Yeah! Doesn't he do Kermit's nephew Robin too?

Why do you need to hold hands while you cross?

[moatguy]

You do when you,re a kid.

Man, I wish I had a band to follow me around and pop up whenever I feel like an impromptu musical number.

[keikodee]

LOL ^_^ don't we all.

why this little guy was alone on the busy street at such a young age is beyond me.

Thanks for posting! I remember all of these clips as if I saw them yesterday. You're right, they do need to teach street safety on Sesame Street once again. The things I see kids doing in my own neighborhood while I'm behind the wheel scare me to death! Go Old School SS!
