Sesame Street - Telephone Rock (full version)

[mimiBeaker5]

Nice Classic!

[Tareltonlives]

You know, maybe it was this skit that made me afraid of telephones.

[angelgirl7473]

LOL i just added this to my playlist..gonna drive my mother nutz with this one after i put it on Cd!! i am in my 30's.. and remember these songs! good memories =)

[Adarvuli]

holy S i never knew this version existed!! :) thank u for uploading

[MarshalGrover]

Now this is what I call a great telephone number!

[Daniel4646]

The one who commented negatively is the operator lady.

[ilmsff7]

The all time best song on Sesame Street.

[HolyMarkMcGrath]

I just turned 18 yesterday and have great memories of seeing this sketch on Sesame Street's Rock & Roll. This was priceless.

[stevedogan]

I've always wondered if this was just meant to be cute, or if there was a subliminal message in this saying; "Kids, don't play with the phone or you'll wind up in trouble".

[CrazyBrandondorf]

This song is also in Hinder.

[bonzoscarpetcleaning]

I feel like calling the operator right now and putting the receiver up to my computer. Actually I've only dialed 0 once in my life.

[stevedogan]

@bonzoscarpetcleaning Me too! I've always wanted to see what she'd do! Nowadays she probably wouldn't call the police, she'd probably just either hang up on you or sit there and laugh away -especially if she grew up watching this!

[angelgirl7473]

@bonzoscarpetcleaning lmao!! i dare ya!!

[quizmaster85]

Yeah!

Yeah!

YEAH!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

[microbusss]

heh need to find this on cassette or LP or even CD hehe & you're right it IS a catchy tune ;-)

[hyrulemusic]

The brown-haired one with the beard reminds me of Zach Galifianakis.

[Gunman610]

Sesame Street, School House Rock, and Infocom. Three reasons why the 70s and 80s were the best time if you wanted to have smart, independently, and creatively thinking kids.

[d72jjpilc]

'Rock, rock, rock! The telephone rock! Everybody's singing...!' To which I respond...'Go, go, go!  70's Sesame Street! It's the greatest thing!...' Thanks, thanks, thanks for posting!

[DarkRonin21]

Anyone else think the big orange one sort of looks like Joe Perry?

[TelephoneRock4ever]

@DarkRonin21: Hair-wise, yes.

[zacandtaylorrule]

@DarkRonin21 Haha. He does a little.

[AyaMizumi]

Thanks for uploading full vid, dude!

[Daniel4646]

I first heard the song in its German synchronization, and I liked it then. Here on YT I got to hear it in english, and now I love it even more!

[75cowboyzfan]

CLASSIC SESAME STREET ! BRINGS BACK MEMORIES FROM WHEN I USED 2 WATCH THIS . WHEN I WAS LITTLE ! LUV IT !

[jbbremerton]

no telling how uncomfortable the performers were during this... glad they did it tho!

[InsaneInfernape006]

Sometimes i feel bad for Chrissy since he's cramped in the middle between Rockin' Richard and Big Jeffy.

[zacandtaylorrule]

Thank you Nanto! This is the only one I would have requested. One of my all time absolute favorites. :)

[Garrettk41]

A true classic. One that stayed in my head for years afterward. When I heard on here for the first time three years ago, it sounded as familiar as if I had heard it last just a week ago.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I first heard this when I watched the Rock 'n Roll vid as a girl. Years later, I can't get it out of my head! Stuff like this does that to you, and I'm glad it does.

[Jbrangwynne53]

Cerf and Stiles, in my opinion, definitely wrote the most addictive Sesame Street songs. I can't listen to any of them without replaying it atleast once ...twice ...thirty seven times. JK

That's definitely the case with this one and others like Put Down the Duckie or Monster in the Mirror.

[stephenhkovacs]

Yes. And I have an LP of this.

[stephenhkovacs]

You're SO right. This is the second time I've played it today, and Chris Cerf is so freakin' talented, all I have to say is CHRIST!!

[stephenhkovacs]

Damn straight. This is the 15th time this century I've played this awesome song. I ain't jiving, either.

[KingSlifer]

Has anyone ever noticed that Rockin' Richard had some difficulty trying to get into the telephone booth?

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Glad the full version is up again. This is one of my favorite Little Jerry songs.

And I agree, it is one of the all-time catchiest songs.

[antsamthompson9]

This certainly is one the best Sesame Street songs.
