Sesame Street: Ladybugs' Picnic

[Eurodance90schick]

I'm lovin' these clips, yay i get to relive my preschool years and go back in time.

[carlaw001]

My favorite Sesame Street song!!!

[nellie2581]

That's cute

[RKamps717]

Ugh still an absolute favorite!!! :)

[MovieGuru251]

45 ladybugs didn't go the ladybugs' picnic

[amsterdope]

Are you in your 40s and watching and remember the lyrics like it was yesterday?

[hillko00]

how did i get from listening to pepper by the butthole surfers to this?

[JasonMC72]

Happy '12!!!!!!!!!!!!(12 exclamation points to the left!)

[GreenNismo]

this sounds like Jimmy Buffett

[3n20]

are there any gentleman bugs?

[Shteve67]

Loved this song when I was a kid!

[underfrogg]

ladybugs know how to party

[StormriftonROBLOX]

0:50 Wow that fire is making a lot of smoke... Its bad for the air lady bugs.

[splitlogboy913]

TWELVE!!!!!!!!!!

[DATDUDE2024]

Aren't lady bugs actually voracious killers? I'm just asking? I think they eat other bugs or something...not so lady like actually

[TheDitoCarlos]

@DATDUDE2024 THEY EAT MILK WEED LEAVES, IDIOT!

[toonberg2011]

@TheDitoCarlos Actually, adult ladybugs mainly eat aphids & other plant pests. That's why gardeners & farmers find them so valuable.

[viviaenne]

Brings all too few fond memories of my childhood....*sigh*...innocenc­e long lost.....

[TheMismess]

oh i love sesame street. :')

[empirestatebuilding1]

i enjoyed this song more than my five year old son.

Brings me back to my childhoods. thanks for the upload

[Swayzee68]

This is written/sung/animated by Bud Luckey who works at Pixar now -- he did the short "Boundin'" and does some voices in Pixar movies :) Cool old guy!

[Scrumpilump2000]

@Swayzee68 No kidding? That was the only time I can recall an audience applauding after having watched a short on the big screen.

[FatimaFafa1000]

da uma olhadinha no meu funk da dengue ...por favor!

[CutieTwinkie59]

im so happy to share this with my daughter and watch her giggle at the lady bugs

[kymberleehh]

makes me SMILE!

[wallystar]

@JackTron7000 It was about the high price of furniture and rugs and fire insurance for ladybugs. =)

[JackTron7000]

I remember this fondly, but... what exactly was this supposed to be teaching? The number 12? I thought the Pointer Sisters already covered that.

[lintemp46]

@JackTron7000

Entertainment and joy!

[jfong9]

Bless you, Bud Luckey :) Such a treasure to so many children's childhoods.

[LeslieSteeg]

Great song!

[grecomic]

Ladybug "marshmallows" are just like our marshmallows, except they're made from ground up aphids! ;-)

[HillaryLeigh1]

that song haunted me for many years until I came across an old episode while doing summer school with autistic kids. It all came back to me, even when they hit their heads together! Learning shows were so wonderful when we were young, it breaks my heart that that innocence is gone now.

[Misskittykitty72]

I use to play this all the time for my little brothers... ya gotta luv this.

[yummy796]

maybe this is the reason i like ladybirds... i don't know

[bombergal1]

the Roughriders should play this song everytime they play. Remember the debacle of 2009...LOL!!!

[TheDevinGreat]

This song is EXTREMELEY VIRUAL in my family! (Sorry for my spelling)

[hbcb35]

I love this song!!

[gonzalezmarisol1987]

Wssqqqqqaa0p

[gonzalezmarisol1987]

Ffffvvc

[roguejulie]

I love the horn at the end!



[pingufan11]

i used to watch this!

[hooliganyouth]

I'm 34 and I still count to 12 on my fingers with this song in my head. I'm not simple or nothin like that, the song comes unbidden into my head.

[kfarley1130]

Wow! Just watching this brings back so many great childhood memories.

[roguejulie]

21 people have never attended a picnic.

[babyjenks1784]

I remember this one!!! Why can't Sesame Street have sweet songs like this anymore? Now it's more like the Elmo show! =(

[peacenate]

i will never forget this one!

[AClpsproductions]

we remember this from our early years

[shashakendra]

i remember all the words and i still giggle when they slap together on the part that says, "knock knock jokes"!

[HotPink404]

WHO EVER THE 21 PEOPLE ARE THAT HATED THIS VIDEO WACTH YOUR BACK!

[FaytLinegod]

Still a classic after all these years. The 19 people who disliked this were obviously never children.

[XxRawrrPancakesxX]

this is our new warm up for chorus. lmao. <3

[boosooboo]

i still this song when i want to count to 12!

[Buffalobigboy69]

"They talk about the high price of furniture and rugs, and the high price of fire insurance for ladybugs!" Still hilarious after all these years.

[johnnyloose]

19 people thought there were only 11 ladybugs at the picnic.

[phucyoutoob]

Thank you Sesame Street for a big part of my childhood and then bringing back memories here on youtube.

PBS >> Cable Television

[duckie8732]

metogrilllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllll okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkk

[duckie8732]

it isok

[wwaeca12345]

I always sing this myself and I'm forty now,I actually learned a lot from Sesame Street even very minor spanish,and that loaf of bread a container of milk and a stick of butter always got to me.........

[pulpstress]

@wwaeca12345 I still, from time to time, quote "a loaf of bread, etc", when I'm making out my shopping lists.

[wwaeca12345]

I always sing this myself and I'm forty now,I actually learned a lot from Sesame Street even very minor spanish

[ncpoitras]

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn,,..//m­hbkkjhjkhujhh

[kerrij78]

I love this song. Just played it for my son. It took me back 25 yrs!!! I love YouTube.

[JohnWinstonLemonFan]

this is me and my nieces theme song :)

[hitupsara]

they talked about the high price of furniture and rugsssss

[Yontia]

Love these old songs/skits but one I haven't found. I remember it was a number song/chant with kitties made out of felt (rather simple stuffies) . I think they also went to "bed" under covers made of felt.

[ISNorden]

@Yontia: Try searching for "The Queen of 6"; that clip ends just as you described it.

[Mjackson42]

my mum loved ths as a kid XD

[leopardlady1027]

13 people are afraid of ladybugs!!

[bigasssuperstar]

I loved this song so much, I recorded a cover of it for my latest album, Mind The Gap.

[Trund27]

So brilliant!

[MayBeeBuzzy]

Wowie... this takes me back. Feel-good. I just got done watching "elephant elevator operator", and am feeling soo nostalgic. But... what has Sesame Street turned into lately? Disturbs me...

[ambientsoldier]

i'll be singing this all day now.

[onvogmasaj]

this > new one.

[TheRadical42]

Ah me, this one is a Sesame Street masterpiece! I sing it to this day.

[ZNKChannel]

I'm afraid I got some bad news for all of you classic-Sesame Skits fans. The people who did this clay-animation 10 Tiny Turtles did a clay-animation of Ladybugs' Picnic. They don't look like Bud Lucky's style (they look Chinese) & it's not the original audio; it's re-sung by Matt Vogel. Sorry if this crushes your Sesame favorites.

[Spaceydoodle]

@ZNKChannel yeah, I just saw it. :(

[ZNKChannel]

@Spaceydoodle Where? ON TV or on SS's YouT- ooooooooooohhhh, no. It's uploaded. It's uploaded!

[itsakitten]

possibly the most popular and best-remembered classic Sesame Street song

[Haddyskelly]

What makes me laugh is that I was just listening to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica, and now I'm listening to this.

It doesn't matter what age you are, or what music you usually listen to - you can't beat the classics that make you the person who you are today.

[chicagoam1]

They talked about the high price of furniture and rugs...AND fire insurance for ladybugs..............very thought provoking for young minds. Love it.

[leopardlady1027]

I remember watching Sesame Street when I was a kid, my kids watched it , and now my niece and I love to watch Sesame Street!!! The ladybugs are her favorite. Bring back the classics!!!

[TheCozzie99]

omg I haven't heard this song since i was like 5!!!!

[jeremiahlp1]

I WANT TO HUNT DOWN AND KILL THE ELEVEN PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO

[reeree242447]

@jeremiahlp1 LOL!!!!

[mikper7]

@jeremiahlp1 Actually, it's up to 21. But...I sometimes dislike accidentally (the set-up under the vid is pretty poor). I'm sure that's the case here as well.

[Backsauce42]

@jeremiahlp1

HA THERES 24 NOW

[brianlovesfootball]

@jeremiahlp1 kill me then (;

[kirstinabelton]

Anyone would think Id slept with a coat hanger in my mouth after seeing that

[Studmeister17]

@kirstinabelton What the heck is that supposed to mean?

[kirstinabelton]

@Studmeister17 It means I havea huge smile on my face

[applebonker141]

I wish I knew how to play this song on guitar. I'd play it all the time XD

[pinupdove]

loved this when i was little:):):):) lol takes me back :):):)

[HannahAndMariaStars]

I love those buggies. They're sooo freakin' cuteee

[maryfbex]

Another wicked good posting! Please, I can't take it! I am so old (48)! I wish they would put the original Electric Company and Sesame Street shows on. The new ones are too politically correct.

[bustygenius]

I am making my daughter her own play list on her of all the old sesame street music because I can't stand most of the shows on now

[AAV47]

I feel so guilty for killing a ladybug today :(

[Dekobee]

@AAV47 Murderer! .... Just kidding.

[Muppephile]

@AAV47 - may you be plagued by aphids, then.

[punked0ut]

i miss this. i hope when i have kids tv can have gone back to making good programs like this

[kettlemydog1]

the people who create this stuff must be on acid

[rlthestig]

@kettlemydog1

Haha I am 37 and I am with you 100%. My kids think this stuff it "Dumb".

[meltz]

omg another classic still stuck in my mind .. lol

[ToriandAlison]

haha cute

[ParanoidToaster]

When I was a tiny kid it scared the heck out of me thinking that Lady Bugs knew how to make fire. XD

[kaymac13]

@ParanoidToaster That is so FUNNY!. This one of my favorites.

[ellethekitty]

when I am depressed I play this and it cheers me up

[deraifu]

sesame street is so different now...so very different. it's all about that tooth fairy and elmo...

[beandiovegas]

Nostalgic. I still sing this so many years later. Anyone remember?

[TechieMomma35]

@beandiovegas I do and I still sing it too.

[reeree242447]

@beandiovegas This brings back memories! I still love this song! ;-)

[AClpsproductions]

@beandiovegas

we do

[wesmatron]

@beandiovegas I'm always singing this, the counting song, and my all time favourite, The Capital I Song.

[oliebol61]

0:21 They had tough sex. :D Hilarious,

[japanesehighlander]

This brought so many memories from my childhood. Hard to believe 30 years later my kids are now watching this.

[eskasant]

LOVE THIS!!

[sailorscoutpet]

I remember this part. I even harmonize with the original singer.

[bravebirdie123]

memories :)

[SteffersFavourites]

Catchy & cute, but it wasn't in my time. =)

[st8oftheart]

See I told you ladybugs sounded like the kazoo when they spoke

[Dreamliterature]

oh yeah, I can still sing this song word verbatim!

[amethyst42]

I though the lyrics were "ransacked races" when I was little.

[bombergal1]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders should've played this song at Grey Cup last year before going on the field for that last play.

[snazzyXcore]

i remember this song!!! one of my favorites!!!

[BoomBoomJoJo]

they had 12 sacks! twss

[RRydnew]

The man who drew and sings this video is Bud Luckey...Agent Dicker from The Incredibles!

[RedLightBulbs]

I love those little ladybugs.

[thereelrubbaduckee]

Rember when sesame street was just a childrens show instead of a battlefield for political correctness and such?

[cky2250]

i like the barn yard video or something like that it has been a long time about 12 years ago. the mupits are more of a grownup show so i would rather watch that now im older. love the drumer in the mupits cant think of his name

[Remorselesslymine]

Hate to say it, but Stormfront. org is more entertaining. :)

[McNerget]

This could be my favorite all-time sesame street song!

[mikeoxbig1414]

we'll never get children's programming like this again... i can't even put up a christmas tree in my school foyer any more without offending people... what gives???

[eday2010]

Liberals and their overly politically correct nonesense, that's what gives.

[rivpom]

what does a christmas tree have to do with a ladybug picnic?

[RedLightBulbs]

I was kind of wondering that my self. For that matter what does a ladybug picnic have to do with political correctness?

[Realfootbal]

The memories man takes me back

[AnaSaintAsia]

Wow, I remembered all the words-such good memories :D

[missouthernbelle85]

does the very beginning of this sound like "Deliliah"

[SheepHerder12]

i remember this from when i was lil. it was my fav! it made me smile

[AnimationDiana]

This song is pretty catchy, though it does get stuck in your head.

[monkeefan75]

LOL - no kidding on the getting stuck in the head part. My kids were just talking about lady bugs and next thing I know I'm looking up this song. Gotta love this classic though :)

[jarbon5]

I remeber this from way back in the day, when I was a kid. Man, this is bringing back some memories:)

[Saranm25]

Same here! I remembered this whole song and the last time I saw this was about 20 years ago.....time flies!

[jarbon5]

Yes it does;)

[CruelNicePerson]

this is the best song and im not kidding... well mabey

[johnnyphoenix74]

This song is up there with the 'i get mad' goat song, pinball, and the striped/polka dot ball song.

[bubbabojanglez]

wat the fuck is this shit? lol if your watching this with your child then make sure to teach them usefull words like FUCK! SHIT! AND BITCH!

[wako1576]

hmm..... mybe gays arent born gay afterall. i wouldnt be surprised if it was just a kid watching this for too long.

[Aeiouley]

yea, bad call dude. This song is awesome. Now, I'm not going to go as far and say this is better than the "pinball" song but this one is pretty rockin'.

Did anybody read that Gary Larson (The Far Side) comic that said, "Male Ladybugs Anonymous"? haha, that was great.

I watched Sesame Street when I was a teeny lil boy in daipers and I'll probably be watching it when I'm a teeny old man in diapers.

[wako1576]

um.... ok u kinda rambled on there.

btw it was just a joke, i dont listen to music anyway sooo....

[msymonds12]

i owea thank you to seseme street for exposing me to many different kinds of music

[Nza420]

Too bad these shows were all about brainwashing us little kids (at the time). At least they taught us to count to twelve whilst we got the dose of socialism.

[RockLobsta23]

the fuck are you thinking?

[Nza420]

no, what the fuck are YOU thinking?

[RockLobsta23]

nothing, because I was brainwashed.

[Nza420]

obviously, lol! ;)

[threadgillb]

They still use this cartoon? I'm 43 and I remember this from when I was very young!

[multiz007]

@threadgillb they updated the lady bug picnic song and animation - the new one suxs... here's the link youtube.com//watch?v=xXwIiYMJu­WU&feature=relmfu

[carrieluvv]

i still catch myself singing this and im almost 40

catchy tune

[kidragakas]

@carrieluvv Same.. this and the Alligator King...

[carrieluvv]

@kidragakas I just watched it. I recall liking when he had the shells clamped on his nails and diamonds rings on his feet...Im not sure why.

I might have to watch these with my nephew who im always trying to figure out what songs to sing with him...or teach him.

[canadagirleh]

@carrieluvv

I hear you sister...singing that song all day and rounding the the BIG 4-0 as well...lol

[Phnergelde]

@carrieluvv 36y/o metalhead. Just as guilty :D

[carrieluvv]

@Phnergelde haha....dont forget to check out the alligator one in the list next to it

[01acooper]

@carrieluvv ...me too!!! :)

[carrieluvv]

@01acooper there was this other one they used to show....where some lady is singing MILK ....milk....milk....over and over again and i find myself singing that everytime im going for the milk too....haha..

[Modacolorist]

@carrieluvv - me 2?

[Lara1079]

Great song, one of my favorites!

[Reverseflush]

[robosteven]

I just nostalgia'd.

[xxalexmonxx]

@robosteven SAME, all over my new shirt :/

[LoriXwasXHere]

I use to hope this would come on when I watched Seasame Street. I still love it. Well, I guess I'm a big kid.

[hopple]

I'm 28 and my husband will be 38 in November...he sings this song to our kids at bedtime...

[Algernon3]

I have this wonderful image of him handing out kazoos and a mouth harp to the kids so they can accompany him...
