Sesame Street - Let's do it

[84auburntiger]

This is quite an entertaining clip and song, but I distinctly remember another version of this song that Big Bird sang when there were several other animals sleeping over with him in his nest one night. I remember him singing the line, "Let's do it, let's fall asleep." At the end of the song, he said to the audience, "It worked. Good night." That meant his song got everyone to fall asleep. Then, he went to sleep himself. Does anyone remember that one, and can somebody post it?

[dhay03]

OMG i remember this the dinosaur use to scare the shit out of me for some reason LOL

[Muppephile]

I wonder how bigbird would interpret this?

As a bird, how early do you learn the facts of life?

[illcastro]

they are tellin the kids to go have sex. lol... i'm jus jokin my mind is running far.. lol... but really.. catch d heights...

[triviaer]

Another question I have: Who voices the hen?

[quizmaster85]

An eggs-cellent song! (OK, why did I say it?)

[triviaer]

Can anybody tell me who voices the frog, the toad, and the bass?

[QueeQueg1013]

Can somebody tell me the name of those cute creatures at 1:03? I recognize them from my childhood but I'd like to know their original name, where I live they are called "anicetos". Really were a big part of my little me. Thanks!

[sytby]

Sometimes they're bugs, sometimes they're aliens, etc.

[MarshalGrover]

They're the Twiddlebugs.

[lilyputter]

They're Tweedle Bugs! :)

[kattaclysm]

@QueeQueg1013 They say their own name in the song - "Twiddlebugs".

[fuschaitea]

I love this song

[moatguy]

The platypus and echidna lay eggs.(The only living mammals in the world to do so.)

[mcchick06]

HaHa! This song was running through my mind as we were boiling eggs to dye for Easter. My kids would sing this when they were little. Love it!

[wherestherealsky]

Haha, I had this song in my head for some reason...I can't believe I found it on here! Must have been about 13 years ago when I heard this...even though I was 6, saying that makes me feel old

[jtomally9681]

You and me both.

[WOOitsPBJtime]

OMG! that is crazy! that is like my fave cole porter song, but that just puts new perspective on the whole thing....

[ParamoreRox555]

so this is wat the world is comin 2

[abbe2578]

WOW!!! litttle kids are going to start to get the wrong message

[LanakilaIesu]

Since my replies usually don't show up where they're supposed to, I'm replying to abbe2578's comment, "WOW!!! litttle kids are going to start to get the wrong message"

Oh, I wouldn't worry, abbe2578 - unless they start getting inferiority complexes from their inability to lay eggs I don't think they're going to have any problems. :)

[keevi84]

AMEN!!! I'm the first one to raise a stink about kids getting the wrong message & there's no need to w/this vid! If they pickup anything fishy from this clip then they know too much already ^_^

[pizzandobananas]

hahaha i love that cole porter song!! LOL dude!!

[IceRose9]

AHAHAHA!

This is soooo funnny!

;)

[chowder707]

They just sang this song today! I am in my30's, But I dont care I still will watch sesame street.

[Crassygyrinus]

they dont lay eggs :P

[ChibiSaboten]

hahahaha XD

[minkey84]

LOL, this one threw me, i gotta say!

[candykisses856]

Haha, I remember this song!

[4L3xx69]

what a message for the children.

[makare2]

Hmm so many people having trouble with the phrase do it... must have problem with Nike.

[bluethunderbolts]

The first time I watched this song I was like... Oh my god! I can't beleive they said "do it"! My little cuz and I were watching it and he ask me " wat do animals do to lay eggs?" I was like OMG!

[chocolatluvn]

What the hell???? LOL

[PPLsHappyHour]

I actually saw this on TV and said, "wait... WHAT??"

[earvesicle]

i am surprised my parents didnt catch this and shut it off on me haha..

[vcrjohn1984]

I think they're saying "jungle denizens."

[Garrettk41]

I thought it was "jungled amazons" since some birds from that area are often casually referred to as amazons.

[Crassygyrinus]

Denizens, meaning 'inhabitants'

[xmiaax]

my sister likes this song and tried to write down all the words, except she couldnt figure of what the parrots at 1:16 say. Anyone know???

[kensingtonpalace]

too cute!

[helen2883]

Did they say what I think they said? DO IT?

[jmmuppetman]

The Dinosaur is Steve Whitmire

[jx346]

this was a gr8 idea 4 a song

[danderlyon]

this is so cute~

i love sesame street parodies!!

[Garrettk41]

You know, the first part of the opening refrain to the original "Let's Do It" (as in "Let's Fall in Love") could probably be used here. It goes: birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it." They all lay eggs, so they could have put it in here as well.

[Schagenaren]

this is just wrong....

[happysmile09]

I KNOW THAT TURE

[herodotus53]

It seems like children's shows were just more intelligent back in my day. I grew up on Sesame Street. What are kids exposed to these days? All sorts of multi-colored, intellectual cream puffs. What hope is there for generations to follow without quality children's programming?

[classicssmfan]

I always got scared when the dinosaur entered the screen.

[latik49]

birds lay eggs? i thought people did... =)

[gangstAfreaKz]

isn't this kind of an explicit message?

[luckypenny100]

yes.

[sweetieproductions]

yeah.

[pinkstar02323]

thats what i was thinking watching this.

[ap2152002]

The Twiddlebugs! Where've they been all these years it's good to see them again.

Thanks for posting this clip.

[StephJJ89]

I loved this when I was little. It made me actually like the real song. I miss the days when childrens shows were actually educational and fun and didn't talk to the audience like they were stupid. Kids know more than you think they do, and dumbing down their shows isn't gonna stop that. It's just condesending. When I have children, I'm only gonna let them watch what I was able to watch as a child. None of that Dora the Explorer kind of dribble.

[videonut33]

oh S#@t!!!!

it's on here!!!!

finally!!!

[Benzy19]

the Hawk is Armstrong from "the Animal Show"

[moatguy]

Not all snakes and fish lay eggs. Some give birth to live young.

[giantpanda371]

Why do they say dinosaurs do it? They should say dinosaurs did it there are no more dinosaurs.

[bboyroger]

I kinda remember that song and the Twiddlebugs were puppets since before they were

3-Dimensional.

[moatguy]

They forgot to add turtles in this song. They lay eggs too.

[ZGongMan]

who is sing the leds in this song

[MarshalGrover]

I hear Fran Brill, Marty Robinson, Noel MacNeal and Joey Mazzarino

[Garrettk41]

Specifically, which animals do each of them perform?

[MarshalGrover]

Fran is the hawk & the crow

Marty Robinson is the snail

Joey Mazzarino is the aligator & the slug

Moel is the snake

[Garrettk41]

Also, I think the dinosaur sounds like Carroll Spinney.

[BuddyBoy600alt]

I could be him. Or it could be Steve Whitmire. This was first aired on Season 24. So it would not have Jim Henson or Richard Hunt because they have died.

[BuddyBoy600alt]

According to Muppet Wiki, It was on episode #3060.

[Garrettk41]

Actually are you sure about that? The alligator sounds kind of like Pam Arciero.

[MarshalGrover]

That doesn't sound like a female voice.

[Garrettk41]

I'm not saying I know for certain. I just hear a trace of Grungetta's voice in there.

[MarshalGrover]

I'd rename this to "Let's Lay an Egg" to avoid any perverted comments if I were you.

[sesamestreet66]

The original lyrics are "Let's do it, let's fall in love."
