Alphabet J Song, Lyrics

[AMarchant]

Awesome. The last time I saw/heard this was probably abooooooooooout 1986.

[hyattwarris]

Man, 70s Sesame Street always had the best music. The bass and drums were solid.

[thatgirljax]

i'm so glad i'm not the only one. being a name starting with J this song has stuck with me forever! so happy to find it here ;o)

[GuanoLad]

Wait a minute... This is about Joe Raposo, Jane Henson, Jim Henson, and Joan Ganz Cooney!

I had a vinyl album from Sesame Street years ago, and this was always my favorite song on the album.

[Diamondlovebaby]

Love it! My name begins with J and this is my fave song!

[HartnellTroughton108]

Best clip from the entire show. I loved this when I was a weeeeee midget!

[murielsartre]

Love your handle! :D

[HartnellTroughton108]

Exelent

[murielsartre]

Real SS people with J names? I think so. The only one I know for sure is "Joe," as the reference to him in this song is cited (w/reference) in Wikipedia. I guessed the others.

Joe: Joe Raposo

Jane: ?

Jim: Jim Henson

Joan: Joan Ganz Cooney

[bethpedone]

Jane Henson, a puppeteer and Jim's [eventually, ex-] wife.

[rockhopper10r]

That's correct. Several of the people who started SS had "J" names and this song was written for that.

[dubs19842008]

i got a few J friends, too. Jess, John, and Julie to name a few.

[bookmark1]

Yes my favorite SS Song

[bercherie]

I love this clip.... J Joe Jeans and His Jelly Beans... let's sing a song about J! I wish there were an equally great song about D, as my name is Dave.
