I'm Curious (Classic Sesame Street)

[TheDreReichDude]

Good song, who sings it? 

[bitchingood]

Geez I remember this now! I totally forgot about this. I remember my mom would ask me why I was so nosy, I would sing this song to her.

[MarshalGrover]

I watched this with sound effects today and they were really distracting to the song. It's nice to see a copy without 'em. They can be nice sometimes, but other times it's overkill.

[laughingsal]

@MarshalGrover I'm with you on sound effects. They're often way over used and trying to be funny rather than going with the music.

[stophiemeister]

Can anyone guess what the inspiration for this song could be?

[TkMis]

Oh. My. God. Flashbacks.

[kevjab]

wow great memories! I remembered listening to this and the beggining, middle and end song as a little boy in the Caribbean..thanks for the good memories :)

[guitargeekette]

@kevjab same here...I remember them all Island of emotion, oh what a fabulous party, above it all....*sigh* I was like 4 or 5, and I'm 21 now and I remember them all...

[fairymairah]

i love this song it's so catchy and cool it's almost like parody from something. it's kinda cute and cool how that lizard is exploring things. still. cool video cool retro 1990's AWESOME SONG ! :D

[lenongarcia]

[CouncillorElert]

Wasn't there another one about reading the book from beginning to the end?

[laughingsal]

@CouncillorElert it's on my channel, beginning, middle and end. good memory!

[CouncillorElert]

There was another one ...about reading the book from the beginning to the end, wasn't there?

[dsfgdbdsbd]

aaaww that's sweet

[theirishhateyou]

What a charming little voyeur!

The song and your animation for this go together so well! This one is so charming and cute. <3 I hope you don't mind the fact that I'm flooding all your videos with comments, but I can't get enough of your animation! <3

[laughingsal]

Love your comments.

[angelacarter02]

OMG I used to love love love this song. Kids these days don't know what they missed

[aidanhd500]

@angelacarter02 im 13 and this is my absolute favorite thing in the world :D

[etimsam]

This music is soooo kool. I've been singing it for 2 days running and I still can't get enough. Many thanks, laughingsal. I was only a little boy growing up in Africa in the mid 80s when I saw this one. Thanks again laughingsal

[laughingsal]

that's wild! thanks!

[unique216]

omg you brought this back....I USED TO LOVE THIS SONG!!! thanks for posting this!!

[Jethelred]

This has a familiar melody... is it a take on a popular song? or was this just embedded in my brain as a child?

[laughingsal]

Some of the songs I animated were riffs on popular songs but I don't think this one was.

[NewRoBros]

Wow this was posted 3 years ago :O

I feel old.

[bennyraven]

This is airing on today's Sesame Street episode about "Max the Magician."

(Yes, I'm watching Sesame Street right now. No, I don't have kids.)

[laughingsal]

Neat. Thanks for telling me!

[aidanhd500]

lol i just watched this at my grandma's and i was triping out it was so strange

[begeura]

wtf

[gladdleglum]

My daughter and I just love this song!

[laughingsal]

I'm glad, gladdleglum!

[purpldude1994]

just waitin for this to fall victim to unnecesary snsoring

[Hondo20132]

Were you referring to what I said?

[Hondo20132]

Great work, but I'm afraid to say this is a sound effect victim of the 2000s.

[Hondo20132]

In fact, I saw this like that two days ago.

[Hondo20132]

And today.

[MewMuh]

I watched this when was little and I can still remeber how the song goes! =D

[CorinthianAndi]

*tear*tear....wow.U made this to Sally?you're really amazing.I absolutely love this song!!!!from the age of 3 or 4 and here I am now 17 going on 18 and I still love it!that how u know when something is lovely.

[laughingsal]

what a memory. thanks for your wonderful comments.

[OtherBrother09]

This is perfect for me as a theme song. Curious - that's what I am. I also think Curious George should hear it, if he hasn't already. :)

[tigercubgurlie]

i think Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek should hear it too =)

[OtherBrother09]

Good point. Don't forget Mr. Spock. :D

I sense a tribute.

[tigercubgurlie]

i want to, but i'm not sure how to rip video off of DVDs, my sister has a ton of DVDs of next generation....ooohhhh when someone tells me how i am SOOOO going to make it!

[OtherBrother09]

Cool. I look forward to it. I'm sure Sally would like to see it too.

[OtherBrother09]

Definite Face Like A Frog feeling with the lizard.

[ORIGINALbabyphat]

this was my response to my mom frantically askin y i was puttin dat in my mouth/reaching to take out the pink coloured medicine/sprayin spray starc evrywhere when i was about 5

[Nockyout]

This is my favorite song.

[laughingsal]

It's my second favorite after "From Your Head", both deal with mental issues.

[aidanhd500]

im so curious saw it on tv other day and stuck in my head since soo cathy hey

[brokenancle]

so catchy!

[Biopharmer]

This is the greatest song ever

[ginaandsavionfan39]

from episode 2847.

[dubs19842008]

From about 1990 or 1991 I think.

[RiaElfietwo]

Yet another wonderful childhood memory courtesy of you, Ms. Cruikshank.

This is my second favorite lizard character of yours. (Guess which one's first?) ;)

[lizzykat2]

Ahh Memories

[prango]

It's amazing how many of these vids I can remember from my childhood... it's embedded somewhere!

[VeeJay92]

Let me start all over.

Hi, I'm VeeJay92! I screwed up the previous three times with my comments! The "Curious" video is my favorite overall on Sesame Street!

[laughingsal]

Hi VeeJay92, This is one of my favorites too. As I looked at it just now I can see I was feeling particularly inspired by the lyrics. Some of the songs had such flat unrevealing lyrics, though clever, that it was really really hard to come up with visual ideas. Beginning, Middle and End for example.

[VeeJay92]

How do you determine what character fits the video?

[davezdragon]

This has got to be one of my favorite cartoons from Sesame Street! Oh, and I also like the lizard riding the dolphin toward the end.

[jx346]

cool

[laughingsal]

thanks for all your nice comments, jx346!

[KraZvEgGyBuRgEr]

I forgot about this one. Anotherone of my fave segments on Sesame. I just noticed that a lot of your animated stuff was my favorites on Sesame while growing up.

[AndrewT3660]

I noticed that when this cartoon aired on Sesame Street last Friday, there were a bunch of sound effects laid over the song. I assume CTW added these themselves in post-production?

I love your animations, by the way. They're so evocative and colorful!

[laughingsal]

Interesting about the sfx, which they must have added later. Glad I didn't hear them, as I have a different idea about how sfx work with animation. (I like them to play with/off the music.) Sally

[VeeJay92]

This is my favorite (animated) song on Sesame Street hands down. "Curious" why many others wern't. Ah, well.

[VeeJay92]

Those NOT by you, I mean.

[lovemeg5186]

cool song

[karunaum]

im curious too but curoutisty killed the cat

[moatguy]

I get curious myself sometimes.

[pipkitten]

I THINK IT IS NEAT

[saintmalo]

[laughingsal]

Just go to my channel- it's there. Thanks, tpirman1982!

[dorourke105]

Does anyone have the Above it All sketch it has that lizard with a propeller on her hat.

[austinmuppet]

It's here already, just check out Laughingsal's profile and look through the uploaded videos. It's there. Great video by the way!

[rjolliffe]

I wonder that person does that.

[tpirman1982]

Sally Cruikshank, you're the best!

[Batou3]

[nobunnyatall]
