From Episode 198: One of several early song/cartoons about the numbers 2-10 (no Jazz #1 cartoon exists). Grace Slick, who also sang for Jefferson Starship, performs the vocals in these cartoons.
NOTES:
(1) According to Muppet Wiki, this clip first appeared in Sesame Street's third episode (appropriately enough!)
(2) If another animator submitted this cartoon to Sesame Workshop today, they'd probably turn it down for fear of offending religious audiences; check out what happens to one of the 3's about 32-35 seconds into the clip!
P.S. Many thanks to Sesame Workshop for continuing to allow (monitored) fan uploads of older material.

Infact, in watching old sesame street content on youtube there is a common theme in the threads. Do you guys ever notice the comments "This part of the show used to freak me out" or "this music or visual queue used to scare me"

These segments were created by Denny Zeitlin a clinical professor of psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco. There is no doubt that there is hidden meaning and messages altering the thought proccess of children througout these segments. If you thought to yourself this is trippy and hypnotic you were more right than you thought.

Actually the first episode sponsored by 1 was Episode 86, from March 1970.

This is far superior to the Pinball Count, and I do believe it came before the Pinball Count!

@brooke050870: It did; appropriately enough, the clip for #3 first aired on the third episode of Sesame Street (November 13, 1969).

never realized there is no no.1, wonder why?

Because the number 1 never sponsored an episode until the mid-80s: the educators at CTW must've thought teaching kids to count just one thing was pointless.
hoopersghost 2 years ago
@hoopersghost Perhaps you are right. The singing rhythms were off when counting only to one. The "baker" series of counting vids had a "1" clip, and it did feel odd counting just to one, without the "two-three" words following, then hearing the familiar synth sound taking us to the next object to count. With 1, as the number, however, they could use bigger objects. The baker at the end had one big wedding cake to drop. Imagine Grace Slick vocalizing the word "one".

@professortheremin: Good points all round. Teaching that 1 is an important number is possible; but counting a single item still feels odd, even in newer clips like the "one duck" cartoon (duck gets impatient because he's the only thing to count, but the kids expect more). As for a hypothetical Jazz #1 cartoon....did sports teams use those giant foam fingers in the late 1960s? A fan in the stands, holding up #1, would be the perfect opening character in my opinion!
