i have this vhs......sigh.......things will never be the same...i hate what this word is becoming

[afriendofbean]

I guess this is one of the few skits that Mr. Johnson isn't getting any problems with Grover around. (However, it looks like Mr. Johnson is voiced by someone else in this skit).

Get funky on the remix. Her version sounds lively.

Lena Horne is sweet! BK goodness.

I remember she eyes looked smoldery like smoke and that looked new to my little brain. She is cute

[TheChiteach]

[missyoak]

[kimsy520]

LOL! I remember this! The muppet in the front looks a lot like my old neighbor!

[wild7horse]

Cool, but not close to Patti's gospel and magnificient version.

I luv to see this

[karameldreem]

A treasure!!!!

[brightbite]

I needed to have someone like Lena as a grade school teacher, instead of all the teachers who called me a dunce.

[MarvinParksJazzPop]

@brightbite I did have teachers who were pretty like Lena, but sassy and put you in your place when you stepped out of line. "Dunce" was not an insult, but a way to stand and up and prove you were the opposite. WORK!

[tigercubgurlie]

THIS was on a video i had when i was 3, i would watch it while sitting in a laundry basket lol

[joshuafuller1]

I miss that

[SJIE1]

DAMN. I'm old lol.

[raposofan]

That some funkee-azz a'shizzinit Joe Raposo and his band be throwin' down in the back o dat, yo! Funk it UP Lena! Woo!

[Mktryk]

Happy 90th Birthday,Lena!

[valorik]

This is just too funky! I'm lovin' it!

[Mktryk]

This vid proves Lena could make the telephone book rock by singing it aloud! She was a great sport and no doubt many kids learned their ABCs just from her singing it three times! LOL
