Three Sesame Street Stories (Part 1 - Everyone Makes Mistakes)

[Thunderbirds321]

I hear Spongebob Music

[ekatimmons]

I use to have this on vhs the 3rd story made cookie monster sound like a theif

[RetroToledo]

Just found out the first tune is "Flute Reggae" by Clive Hicks.

[cookielover993]

don't you mean Mrs. Washington?

[wileyk209zback]

@cookielover993 Well, to me she's still really Susan. They changed her name due to Loretta Long not being available to voice Susan

[baxterfilms]

Dude, you rule! I used to watch this video a lot.

[BKDBrian2]

5:41 - that sound effect is also heard on "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" each time a student spells a word incorrectly during the spelling bee.

[wileyk209zback]

@BKDBrian2 That's right; I also recall hearing it on occasion on "Inspector Gadget" (during the first season)

[BKDBrian2]

I just found out that there is a French version of the book entitled "Tout le Monde a le Droit d'Être Maladroit."

[xN3wZ]

Rodeo Rosie sounds like a valley girl in her new voice, and Mrs. Washington looks exactly like Susan for some reason.

[wileyk209zback]

@xN3wZ That's cause Mrs. Washington IS Susan. They changed her name because they couldn't get Loretta Long to do her voice.

[deppkat]

MEMORIES!!! :D

[RyuJen10]

i remember this!!!!!!!!!XD

[BKDBrian2]

1 person knocked down Susan's laundry!

[kddjxjk]

What the heck at 5:27 i used to be scared to death by that green muppet! and 15 years later i found this video and i was shocked i said "I WAS AFRAID OF THAT!!!!"

[wileyk209zback]

@kddjxjk That is a bit unusual, these Golden Book Videos can be unnerving a bit at times. But at least it's not as bad as the "Mysterious Theater" opening or something

[HParker001]

Big Bird can't tell geese from rare whooping cranes? You'd think he'd be able to do that...

[BuffyTohru]

omg.. ;n; this makes me so sad.....

[heartofmusic27]

Who does the voice of Little Bird in this?

[wileyk209zback]

@heartofmusic27 Fran Brill. She also voiced Little Bird on the show itself back in the '70s

[cutseypoo777]

@heartofmusic27 Fran Brill.

[Fartingbellybutton]

A Circus Practicing in Mrs. Washington's Backyard, That's a Terrible Idea, LOL, The Ringmaster talks like a News anchor.

[maniacaldude]

My god, this brings back memories! I used to watch this quite a bit when I was little. I recently read the original book & was surprised to not find Little Bird in there. Also, when I heard the music from the giraffe scene on Spongebob, I immediately thought of this video. What WAS that music? Is it the same stock music that was used for other stuff, like Ren & Stimpy?

[wileyk209zback]

@maniacaldude Yes, the Golden Book Videos used the APM music library quite a bit, the same music library Spongebob and Ren & Stimpy uses.

[meowkie]

You are awesome not ONLY for uploading this great learning experience of my childhood, but also for including the music themes!!! Tomfoolery is a very popular theme in Nickelodeon shoes like Spongebob. XD

[NDW85]

Hey, the music cue that is playing while Alphabet Bates is landing is the same one that was used on the ren and stimpy show.

[wileyk209zback]

@NDW85 That's right. These Golden Book Videos used a LOT of APM music cues, including several familiar ones you'd recognize from "Spongebob" or "Ren & Stimpy."

[NDW85]

@wileyk209zback I also remember hearing that music cue on that episode of Rocko's modern Life where Rocko and Heffer go on a trip to Paris.

[MegaJamieV]

Oh my gosh! I remember this! I used to watch this all the time. Ahh good times.

[hornean]

The words Big Bird said in his dreams:

"Shoo!" - a flock of geese

"Watch out you guys!" - Biff and Sully

"Watch out for the laundry!" - fire engine

"Hang on to your feathers, Little Bird!" - tornado

[slapshot68]

@hornean "blew and blew and blew" in oscar's voice

[BKDBrian2]

@slapshot68 The transcribed audio reads "terrible means just doing" instead (followed by "dot").

[hornean]

1:26 - WHACK!

[hornean]

6:21 - 6:40 - Kind of disastrous to have a tornado on Sesame Street, don't you think?

As you know, there's a five-episode saga when Sesame Street had a similar disaster, except there's no tornado. Instead, there was a hurricane. Big Bird's home had the most damage.

[ZNKChannel]

Hey, that IS Spongebob music! The music at 1:53-2:04 sounds really familiar. Do you know if it was used in some other kid's show, wileyk?

[TomTornados]

Thanks for posting this! Say, Can you make your legendary poop called "Another Golden Book Sesame Street Poop?"

[wileyk209zback]

@TomTornados If you mean "Big Bird Strikes Back," I already did

[TomTornados]

@wileyk209zback

is that a replacement of "Another Golden Book Sesame Street Poop"?

[TomTornados]

@wileyk209zback

I meant Everyone makes "Pingas"

[MikePike5]

1:29

[hettybobcat]

I used to watch these as a kid. In fact, I still have the VHS videos but I am afraid to watch them since they are over 20 years old so I worry about ruining them.

So thank you very much for posting this on Youtube! :D

[slapshot68]

at 6:31 wen he said "blew and blew" he was saying it in oscar's voice

[BKDBrian2]

I dunno why, but the caption reads "terrible names polling" at that part.

[Marvin3710]

Thank you for uploading these videos! I had this video as a child and it was awesome!!!! I also had a care bears one as well and it was just as awesome!!!

[ThisMightBeAndy09]

Maybe I'm too young but who the hell was Alphabet bates?

[wileyk209zback]

@ThisMightBeAndy09 He was a skywriter on the show in the 1970s and early 1980s; we never saw him in person on the show but we'd see him skywrite letters and numbers in the air on his plane.

[datbaby1990]

I still have this tape to this day..and it still PLAYS too!! :)

[dandav2003]

DUDE!!! SERIOUSLY!!! A FLOOD OF MEMORIES JUST CAME RUSHING BACK!!! Thanks so much for uploading this!!!

[cjmet]

I remember when I used to watch this video when I was young. Even today when my mom makes a sharp turn in the car she'll say "Hang on to your feathers, Little Bird!"

[BKDBrian2]

In the "poop" version, using the opening of "Treasure of the Endzones," the sixth Ovide episode (a woman on TV is carried away by a strong wind), with the tornado scene in this Sesame Street story, would have made sense to me. That episode can be found in Dutch here on YouTube, and I think it's called "De Schat Van De Aspeken" in that language.

[luv4permboy]

@cjmet My mom too!!!

[wileyk209zback]

@luv4permboy Sometimes I use that expression when the situation is appropriate ;)

[slapshot68]

man i remember this!!

[FlyingDuckMan360]

I Enjoyed Reading "Everyone Makes Mistakes" as a Child, and This Was a Pretty Good Video Adaptation.

Also, If You Notice in The Runaway Giraffe Scene, You'll Hear Music Which Today is Commonly Heard in Episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants.

[wileyk209zback]

That's right. It's called "Tomfoolery." These videos used a LOT of music from the KPM/Associated Production Music library.

[cjmet]

OMG it is the same music!

[BKDBrian2]

If I were to do a YouTube Poop version of this story, I'd use at 4:18-4:36 the section in episode 33 of Ovide where Bobo gets trapped in a huge forest fire because Cy had been careless with the matches while trying to cook with no one else around. Also at 4:00-4:05, I'd have Kaneda from Akira say, "This whole thing happened just because you took my bike for a spin! Enough already!"

[wileyk209zback]

Maybe I'll do that.

[wileyk209zback]

Rats, I can't find those episodes online!

[BKDBrian2]

I have them myself, on "Ovide and the Gang Volume 4: Tooned Into Trouble," but I do not have the equipment required to put them on YouTube (I wish I did though!) Ryoku75 once posted one, but it has been removed.
