  • What the hell does "Don't Put It In Your Mouth" have to do with The Elephant Show?

  • i used to hate this show, i remember only watching it when no good cartoons were on haha

  • I've been trying to find this show forever.

  • OMG I remember watching this on as a toddler. Great memories, Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon were best back in that time. Thanks for uploading this.

  • Comment removed

  • What memories.

  • My little sis used to watch this... I never like it myself.

  • I remember going to a freaking concert for this! It was awesome as heck

  • This was my favourite show EVER when I was a kid. 

  • Do you have the end of this?

  • @CelesteK My full episodes are on RetroWinnipegTV.

  • Jesus Christ this makes me feel old. I also didn't remember it until now thanks to FARKERS SENDING ME HERE!

  • I miss this show. I wanna be a kid again.

  • i got to go on stage with them and they sang the name song with my name

  • Oh man, I remember this. What the hell was this show even about?

  • This show was on back when I was totally addicted to TV. Nowadays, the shows that are on are all crap compared to this. :P

  • fuck all you bitches and hoes i will rape america

  • for some reason, even as a kid, i always found it odd of a grown man to be singing and prancing around like a wuss. i've always wondering if Bram was gay lol.....

  • man this takes me back

  • I vaguely remember this theme song, I know I watched the show, couldn't tell u a single episode.

  • holy shit, I saw these guys in concert when I was little!!! I was too young to remember , it had to be maybe '89 or '90, but my parents told me this was my first concert. My second was Raffi.

  • I was either two or three good times

  • this was actually a good show, i was entertained by it at the age of 8-10, until SEGA and Nintendo came around.

  • omg!!! haha i totally remember this show!!!

  • i'm like uhh having an acid fuh fuh flashbackkkkkkkk

  • I..... my brain.... my brain just released all these crazy nostalgic happy feel good altruistic beauty chemicals. I'll call the chemical, Skinimirinkimine

  • @sharpezor me too i couldn't agree more this show and a few others ran on TVO where i live i feel like i'm going back to the 80's they should show these shows today instead of the new stuff these old shows have lots of great lessons for preschooler plus they're fun too.

  • Good gosh do I remember this...

  • i heard that bram used to be a porn star

  • @Cracker76 Isn't Bram a guy?

  • I use to love this show so much as a child. Heck if they should it today on Nick Jr I would watch it, just like I watch looney toons, scooby doo, or any other old cartoon sometimes. I'm 25 but I'm still a kid at heart and will be till I take my last breath. I hope Nickelodeon makes a channel for all old shows just like cartoon network

  • thanks so much for uploading this! Great nostalgia trip.

  • i just had the weirdest feeling that i was 4 years old again

  • Comment removed

  • Holy crap thats a blast from the past!

  • Was there a different version for American audiences? I used to LOVE this show as a kid but this wasn't the opening I remember.

  • I watched this when I was a kid! Brings back fond memories... :)

  • We have four videos that have full episodes on them but don't ask me to put them up on here I don't know how and I can't find the tapes. Probably in our messy basement. I also have the stuffed elephant from this show I wasn't sure if it really was Elephant until I showed it to my grandma and she was sure it was Elephant.

  • I sooo remember this part!! I sing the skimmerarink a dinky dinky song all the time to my lil girls! O the memories!

  • BRINGS BACK MEMEORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD

  • I used to have a couple of the concerts on VHS and I went to see them at the state fair one year.

  • memorys, memorys, when T.V. was educational and entertaining all at the same time.

  • This was the show I watched when I was in Kindergarten. We used to sing it on field trips. Then twenty years later I got to teach this song to my little sister when she was two. She would shout out different color elephants after each verse.

  • I watched this show when I was little.

  • i used to have this on VHS! so many memories :( i loved this show when i was little

  • i love this song 

  • This show still kicks ass! I say bring it back!

  • This show was my LEAST favorite when i was kid. i'd turn it off & take a nap before the next cartoon line up.

  • I can't believe I used to watch this crap!

  • I remember seeing one episode and they had filmed it in my neighbourhood! I wish I had seen it, but I was probably in school or something when they had.

  • I bet that elephant gets alot of elephant hoes in da clubs

  • I remember seeing them live back then! They were so cool. Are they still living?

  • @stads24 All three are still alive, but they're not performing due to various reasons.

  • I loved this show as a kid... TT-TT

  • i remember i was nuts over this show when i was little [2 years old or something] because my mom had made me 2 6 hour long video tapes of eureka's castle [i still have them :D ] and right towards the end where the tape cut off theres was part of the opening from this show it cut of like two elephants we---pppppfffffffffttttttttt and thats all, and i was obsessed with watching that show for five years, my mom found a vhs of it, and by that time i was too old to enjoy it T-T

  • They need to bring this back to Nickelodeon. It IS educational, and way better than that Yo Gabba Gabba stuff.

  • Who's the guy in the elephant suit, I wonder?

  • @astridkitty1212 Believe it or not, it was a lady in the elephant suit. Her name was Paula Gallavan

  • For some reason I remember all the characters and the skinamarinky dinky dink song so well, but for the life of me I could NOT remember what this show was called. I grew up on it from the time I was five or so. <3 I watched it religiously. :3

  • you are not the only oneee!

  • I used to go to my library and take out the records they made. Remember record players? lol

  • I shed a tear once I remembered this show. This was something I grew up with. This show actually made the banjo a cool instrument in my eyes, but not nowadays...

  • i completely 4got this show!! lol

  • One of my substitute teachers played elephant!!

  • Wow really no way!!!!

  • @Grobanadianatuog really that's too cool

  • OMG OMGOMGOGM I LOOOVED THIS SHOW HAHA i always liked eric hahah

  • I haven't seen this for... oh geez, I don't wanna count how many years it's been! XD Thank you so much for posting this! Lovely memories!

    And this song has been stuck in my head all day now.. LOL!

  • I love all the classic Nick Jr. shows! Most of them came as imports from Europe, Japan and Canada because in those days it was cheaper to import shows from abroad than make your own. That's cool, however, because it exposes kids to other countries and different perspectives on everything. I LOVE the elephant on this show!

  • Wow, I loved this show. I miss my childhood.

  • Lord have mercy, this was MY SHOW when I was a kid. I used to haaaaate sitting through Eureeka's Castle waiting for this to come on, LoL. Memories...

  • @HourglassGuy I remember it would come on right after Eureka. I remember all the shows that came on Nick Jr. in the right order.

  • @evan22303 My god! It did!

  • thank you can you please put more Sharon,Lois and Bram shows on I look everyday to see more thanks

  • sweet memories

  • I have a stuffed elephant from this show my dad got it for me. I wasn't sure if it really was Elephant or not so I showed it to my grandma and she said it was Elephant.

  • Wow I remember this, awesome!

  • WOW old show my sister loved this this is awsom

  • i had the record in the late 80's. yes, record... it had the elephant song and skinnamarink and a lot of others... Like little bunny foo-foo

  • OMG !!! Elephant Show!! This was my favorite show when i was a kid !! Oh man, i miss those days :(

  • I miss my childhood. :-'(

  • They really just need to create a classic nickelodeon channel where they show nothing but the classics.

  • @LifeHurtsLoveWounds I'll second that. I miss the old Nick shows

  • @LifeHurtsLoveWounds RIP toonnick with the commercial shorts...

  • @LifeHurtsLoveWounds It's a great idea, but I can't help but thinking it would only be destroyed the way they brought down Cartoon Network.

  • @LifeHurtsLoveWounds I heard they are doing something with all the old nickelodeon shows going on a new nick at nite or something like that

  • @LifeHurtsLoveWounds Yes and then we need to figure out a way to get the boss to let us watch it at work. LOL :)

  • wow i love these classics we need them BACK ! ... i miss them.

  • oh dear god! i havent seen this in over 20 years! thank you

  • We still have VHS of this show that we taped back in the day

  • Oh MAN. I knew I watched this show as a kid, but I didn't remember anything about it. As soon as I saw that spider on its web it was like I'd just seen it yesterday, even though I couldn't have been older than four the last time I saw it. Too cool.

  • : D <3

  • oh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...

  • hell ya i remeber this show

  • Jesus Christ I totally remember this.

  • Oh, I miss this show...I started singing the song unconsciously when the video started playing. Haha!

  • i officially wanna be a kid again...

  • i remeber this show, but it seemed a lot different when i was a kid

  • What kind of VHS did you have? Blank tape, or release tape with the box that says Cambium?

  • Try Cineplex Odeon Home Video.

  • Man. This was THEE best show when I was a kid. A-skidda-mari-kinki-dinki-damn­-do. Wow.

  • holy crap....that's a real blast from the past....

  • I dont know about all of you, but this brings back so many fun memories I would buy this if it were released to DVD. Any comments on this?

  • I adored this! My friends and I just remembered it the other day and hadn't a clue what it was called. I typed ''skinnamarinkidink'' and found it. This has truly made my day. The Elephant Show was immense.

  • i hate to break it to you but you spelled Lois wrong

  • Your lyrics are wrong

    its "One elephant went out to play, up on a spiders one day" "She had such enormous fun, that she called for another elephant to come" :Sharon!, Luis! and Bram!" "Two Elephants went out to play, up on a spiders web one day, they had such enormous fun, they called for everyone to come!"

  • Holy shit!!! I remember this. They simply don't make cartoon shows or Nick Jr. shows like they used to. iloveallecchianime, you are so right. Why does that racist bitch Hannah Montana have to ruin a child's TV life. Disney used to be good, but now these days, it's gone to being more Hip Hop and Techno and all that Brittney Spears ripoff shit. Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. have totally gone down the Toilet as well. Jimmy Neutron, Barnyard, iCarly, No, that's crap. THIS is part of real Nick TV!

  • i totaly agree tv was good and educatoinal before and now all that is on tv is little whores and poor rloe models....my 7 year old sister dresses slutty and its all cuz she likes hanna montana....i say bring back all these good shows

  • Miley Cyrus, goddamn you. I think she promotes identity confusion as Hannah Montana. Damn right they need to bring this and all the other nostalgia that we grew up with. You know why Nickelodeon can't. Two things, the FCC and religious "crybabies".

  • I feel so sorry for the children of today. They are so deprived. This was a stable of my TV viewing during my preschool and kindergarten era. It's not until I see it some 20 years later that I understand how well I had it. Talk about nostalgia. I'm 24 and I feel like I'm about 75.

  • The annotations have the lyrics wrong. It's "enormous fun".

  • omg! where the fuck do you get these shows! my god i cant believe i remember this show!lol

  • omg. i was like 5 when i watched this and now i'm 25

  • This is another great show and love the  fact these folks have a Folk Music style to teach the young people to appreciate the origin of popular music a simple and easy going style that can be really catchy.. and God I miss this show and that crazy Eric Guy with the musical instruments.. That guy taught me how to play spoons as a musical instrument. lol Sharon , Lois and Bram were wonderful talents.

  • holy crap! This and David the Gnome were my childhood faves! OMG the memories!

  • Hahaha - sooo true! They are getting raised like young adults when we were raised as kids and most of us turned aout ok! lol (most of us!)

  • I never liked their live band part of the show. now kids grow up with Hanna Montana Slut LOL then everyone complains when kids have sex HAHAH

  • This was MY show when I was little! I still watch it when I am sad.

  • i grew up with this me show

  • i miss this :(

  • I never knew it was called the Elephant show... I always called it the Skinamerink tv lol

  • There was a show called SkinnamarinkTV. In it, the elephant spoke English. It was inferior.

  • This needs to come back. Get rid of those stupid shows that nickelodeon currently runs. Utter crap.

    This was the good stuff.

  • damn silly song get stuck dont they damn

  • YES!! YES!!

  • Me too.

  • I saw them in concert in Philly when I was like 7

  • I REMEMBER SINGING THAt SKINNY MERINKY DINK SON AT KINDER GARDEN HOW EMOS THAT LOL

  • Oh my god I remember this plus the intros

    I miss the 90s :(

  • That spider's got some spiderman shit going on with that web.

  • I loooooved this show, I been looking for this on youtube for so long! Does anyone remembe the episode where they were all throwing pies at one another? That one stick im my mind the best!

  • OMG! I actually remembered all the words to that song lmao!

  • It's so funny how outdated this show looks now.... I LOVED it when I was little.

  • Lois was so my childhood hero.. I loved her so much I wanted to be her... lol

    does anyone know anywhere else to find episodes, i want to see the goldielocks and the 3 bears one... my fave!

    oh and is it weird that i remember almost every song...

  • WOW This is a classic show!!!! My siblings and I use to love this show lol. TV is just not the same anymore:(
