One morning in like 5th or 6th grade I watched this before school and the WHOLE day it was in my head! So I'm here to listen to it now I don't care if I'm almost 18 ^.^ haha ♥
I wasn't even alive in '81, but I sure as hell know the Madeline Kahn version with Grover is better. Show your kids that, instead. It's cute AND hilarious :)
@HauntingEvents Erm. Jim Henson is the creator of the Muppets and assisted in the creation of Sesame Street (and all the puppets in Sesame Street were made under the Muppet license originally). He played Kermit, Ernie, and a whole many number of characters. Jim died due to pneumonia in 1990. After that, Steve Whitmire (voice of Rizzo and Bean Bunny) was chosen by Jim Henson himself to replace him as the voice of Kermit and Ernie. He has been playing these characters and more to this day.
This is a rare (if not the only) example of Elmo being 'tricked' into speaking in the first person. "Sing after me" and "Be my echo" in Elmo-speak should be "Sing after Elmo" and "Be Elmo's echo." Elmo never says I, me, or my. It's always, "Elmo is red" and "Elmo loves snow" and "Elmo really has no idea why he's here" because "Nobody told Elmo" and "Elmo likes Elmo just the way Elmo is" and "Elmo needs a hug."
Remaking dated material is one thing. However the facts are clear that the quality of guest stars available to Sesame St. was vastly superior 'back in the day.'
I like all the sesame street's songs so does my daughter, she likes to sing them all, but where can I find all the lyrics? That will be easier for me to teach her the correct song.
4 people missed the like button, I mean c'mon all these likes and only 4 dislikes? That must mean that chances are they missed the like button right? Who doesn't like this. Even if you don't like Sesame street you gotta get a kick outta die die die, d'oh, d'oh d'oh
I (15) just this episode this week with my sister (13) while getting ready for school. After that, it was stuck in my head! XD She REALLY love Elmo and sesame Street stuff
I really hope you guys won't kill me, but Ernie's always been my favorite, and Grover and Madeline Kahn are incredible, but I just love this version more.
How did I even get here.
