[Ashdude]

[RutherfordClubb139]

[d2techknow]

12 sure is a groovy number

[T2norway]

Do someone have the Norwegian version?

[ifukenlovenathan]

[trappy76]

Just saw this on an older episode of Family Guy. Poor Stewie. So gladi found this on YouTube. Thanks for the upload.

[badwino]

I used to sing this even in high school and at my age now I still do!

[MFISACB]

awesome music!

[eveicantbelieve1981]

I can't look at this without thinking of myself in a linen short set. But also, a comedian named Katt Williams referenced this song in one of his skits.

[stacimariej]

Thank you for posting this!!!! I remember this from when I was a kid, and I can't believe you found it.

[paulineyeohpohlin]

i will NEVER forget this tune...its stuck with me forever! Sesame Street is the best!!

[qtmonkeyboi]

HAHA same here!!

[tinman1102]

to this day i still sing this song in my head when ever i see the number 12 or count to the number 12, it's funny how after 30 years things stick in your mind

[randumbetch]

oh god they played this on the radio this morning lol. extreme nostalgia.

[TherealRNO]

Referenced and used on Family Guy.

[needscheese]

That's because Family Guy rips off everything!

[TherealRNO]

needscheese: Point taken. But with MacFarlene as a Muppet fan, should we be surprised?

[Dynodimpl]

I am ALWAYS singing this! I never thought id see it again! Thanks for sharing!!!

[poopoomonster]

oh man, memories... thank you so much for uploading!!

[daazimme]

beautiful...

[Flameguin]

This sounds a lot like Janelle Monae's "Many Moons". Look it up...

[finenmellow]

Wow I use to love this. I always remembered this song in my head for mad years and I was singing it to my daughter, she's looking at me like im crazy. Classic Shit.

[Deanna0477]

I LOVE THIS! I've been singing this song to myself for years and my kids have no idea what I'm singing! I'm 31 now and still remember watching this as a little girl. Thank you so much for posting this! Now I can show my kids.. and my 40 year old husband who's never seen it either!

[sh0kr0k]

This was the first number song I remembered as a kid! Brings back memories...

[bheb05]

my God this reminds me of a hot afternoon watching it in the Philippines. Im now 30! love it!

[InspectorIceman]

This is an instant Classic.

[REClark73]

absolutely fantastic- This really sticks in your head!

[ttufc7]

haha im 24 and I still find myself sometimes walking around my house singing 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12....­...have no idea why it has stuck in my head for so long.

[Skymouth]

I always loved this one! Yeah, the sound affects are kinda annoying.

[ilovemayo123]

thank you pointer sisters!

[namf2807]

OMG!! Pointer Sisters sang this?? wow..that's so cool lol

[Bama47boi]

Damn! thank you! that shit has been stuck in my head for years. i thought i was gonna need therapy

[YUG74]

Speaking of Sesame street, Chris Rock in Jay and Silent Bob, when he said " do you know I came up with the idea for sesame street?..yeaa we wanted to call it Nigas with Puppets" LMAO

[TheArtfulDodger10]

Its amazing how famous this sesame street bit has become, it truely is a classic! Good on ya for posting it!

[DreamDancer82]

One thing about the sound effects. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

[wwsm2]

ooooooh my god, i am so freakin' happy right now

[smilelikeadork77]

im so happy i found this on here its been stuck in my head for years hahaha

[amazingeddie]

ELECTRIC COMPANY funkyness on da Sesame Street...!

[staxvoltdakar]

a close friend of mine was over to the house the other day and we're just hangin' laughin' and talkin' and suddenly he busts out and sings "123-45-678-9, 10-11, 12" for no apparent reason! lol. he's infamous for singing or saying random things from back in the day-and i ask him "that's from way back,you remember THAT?!!" so i had to check and see if i could find it here and as always youtube never fails,thanks wattamack 4 posting,lol!...MEMORIES...MAN!­!

[alphamone]

is it just me, or would a pinball table based off what is seen here be ULTRA sweet?

[mfairldy]

I was watching Family Guy one night and I just HAD to find the Sesame Street version on here...lol

[YUG74]

Yea that was hilarious with Stewie..goes to show they don't miss a trick, I wonder though did they actually do up the back ground or rip off the original?

[williodiddlio]

i would watch sesame street everyday for this to come on. awesome stuff

[kickflic]

this is simply the greatest counting song from one to twelve in the history of western civilization.

[samanli1]

I liked the part where the ball takes a tram ride

[Solasis]

This was my favorite Sesame Street bit forever. My god. Love love love love LOVE

[Ben2Narnia]

I did notice the extra sound effects on the bumpers and bells in #12, perhaps because they got through the entire count.

This one looks like themes of America.

[gtey]

Yes. The sound effects are mentioned right in the "About This Video" section to the right of the video.

[Ben2Narnia]

So these clips are from the 80's?  My memory thought they were from the 70's in my pre-teen years.

[mzsexxigurl]

Ahhh this brings back so many memories....

[izaprod]

Thank you thank you!!! Always been crazy about this song!

[theomorph]

awesome! didn't actually notice that there were soundeffects added, wattamack4. did grow up with this in the 70s, though! there were some awesome jazz contributions that made it onto the kids programming circuit. think i'll search up some wierded-out electric company! hah!

[yorcon]

is there a #1??

[lfrage]

Topic: Famous World Scenery

[Bmin7]

LOVE IT!!! I have been thinking about this one for a few days now and not sure how to search for it!! All I remembered was ths song - I had no idea it was the Pointer Sisters. YAY!!!! I love it!!

Thanks!

[TROV101]

SOMEBODY Please upload the Stewie Griffen Version.

[wattamack4]

There's already tons of clips of that on here.

[Waldemar3]

And for trivia's sake: The song was performed by the Pointer Sisters (remember them in the early 80s?).

[undefinedminded]

i has a crayon mah niggas

[ginaandsavionfan39]

Hey do does this segment in on episode 3108?

[DrFishstix2]

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12!

[HoustonRules]

Also, this segment later inspired me to purchase "Mario Pinball Land" for my Game Boy Advance. It's the closest thing I've seen in a video game to being able to play a pinball game similar to Pinball Number Count. Great clip!

[HoustonRules]

Ah, great memories. I don't think the sound effects hurt it that much. This was always my favorite segment on "Sesame Street"--plus the song (another great Pointer Sisters song) stays in your head for decades, which is a good thing! Have y'all seen the "Family Guy" episode where Peter starts a church praising the Fonz? It has a small segment with Stewie inside a bubble-ball that re-creates the "pinball number count" perfectly--only with the Stewie ball instead of the pinball!

[PANYHK]

I love this, but dont tell me Who ever made this was not HIGH !!!

[VIAGRAspambot]

ahh lighten up and just enjoy the subliminal messages ;)

ROFL at spontaneous singing at work guy

[dorourke105]

I hate to play the perfectionist police here but I agree with some of these reviewers the sound effects ruin it.I think sesame street's just using them as a crutch.

[jjlucash]

I bet that this was where Jill Scott got the tune to her song "Gettin' In the Way"

..."You betta backdown befor you get smaked down; you betta chill..."

[unclerobbie77]

I used to work with a guy who would spontaneously start singing "One two three FOUR five, six seven eight NINE ten, eleven twelve. Doooo do do do dooo do."

[kll510]

Just my opinion of course, but the sound effects really take away from the song. No where near as good as the original.

[MasterEiji]

yeah..color me a purist...but I liked the non-SFX versions

[wiley207]

This one must've been a rerun from the mid-1990s. I saw a couple or Season 31 (2000) episodes that had the Pinball Number Count and didn't have sound effects added.

[wattamack4]

This is from a dvd.

[kidsongselephant]

I think the highest number on the pinball videos is 12.

[raakone]

When was this version done? They added goofy sound effects and/or new background music EVERYWHERE in that show. Do they assume somehow kids are too bored or stupid without it. Anyways, #7 is on hand, the user 1204120 has it (at least for now). Also, it's possible to find #3 (it's in Dutch, but only the way the numbers are said is different).

~Ra'akone

[rocknroller111]

The old one was better. Sorry I don't have it or I'd post it. It doesn't make sense-ruining an old classic for the sake of a few extra sound effects.

[678BUMPERLOVER]

im sorry i put and twice but this is what i meant i like this one and the old one

[678BUMPERLOVER]

i like this one and and the old one

[patrickballoonman]

Notice here that there are exactly 12 tourists at Old Faithful. Sneaky, huh?

[patrickballoonman]

I don't think the sound effects are THAT bad. Then again I've ALWAYS liked clever finishing touches. I remember the sound effects that were added for the "Ringmaster" series; the crack of the Ringmaster's whip, animal sounds, etc.

[MGHSHour2]

anyone have the pinballs for

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11

[patrickballoonman]

I don't think a #1 clip was ever made for this series. At the time, 1 was never the number of the day as it is nowadays.

[RCast]

The pinball song for number 7 is posted on YouTube somewhere but the audio and video are not in sync with each other.

[theproudflip]

Hahahaha! The sound effect tickles me. c",)

[ISNorden]

Being an old-school fan myself, I can understand why you might not like the new sound effects; they usually annoy me too. Still, the sounds make sense for a pinball game--so I'd give this version four stars, as opposed to five for a "clean" copy.

[wattamack4]

Me too.I can't stand those sound effects.Why were they even added?Is there a law that they need to be added?Is it because Jim Henson died?Is Jim the only *smart* one on the show?

[wiley207]

They want to give new Sesame Street this stupid "Hanna-Barbera" feel.
