Kid narration and a jazzy Joe Raposo score, on this classic 1970s alphabet segment shot by the same 16mm location crew that filmed the "Sign Songs" for The Electric Company.

  • I swear I'm going to strangle the SOB that recently killed off this old clip from youtube! I nearly had a heart attack when it was removed from my Favorites folder. Not a day goes by that I don't play it at least once. This is my absolute favorite Sesame Street clip.....ever!!

  • God this brings back memories

  • I remember this one very well. I loved the music and how the camera focused on the letters. And from that license plate,this was from 1970. Love the music-very jazzy! Classic! Thank you for posting this!

  • Do you think the artists of "AC + AW", "JOHN" and "FRANK" ever saw this and thought "Hey!"

  • For the folks living in New York, are all the letters in this clip still around? That is can you still spot them if you looked for them? :)

  • @brthdan this is my favorite comment on YouTube, ever.

  • @jfpinell Sorry....E was the dead end street. But I wonder if that D-drug store is still in business too.

  • @Pocockable "....irate parents....vandalism" Exactly. These darn P.C. activists today are to put it bluntly, just plain idiots who have nothing better to do than cry, whine, complain, and worry! And what's worse is they pass that attitude onto their kids.

  • I can't help but wonder how many of these signs are still there. A did someone saw that tree down by now? B is that still in business? C, is that manhole cover still there? D, did they ever change the street to go all the way through, etc.? I'm doubting T is still there. -Anyone know what a phone booth is today anymore? :) Obviously Y is gone -a license plate from 1970!

  • Huge Swing Out Sister influence!

  • That mellow jazzy music really gives you that late 60s Urban city street feel to it.

  • @MrSouthernman73

    The newer episodes and sketches aren't very ground-breaking anymore, either, and I'm pretty distraught about that.
