Classic animation short from Sesame Street's third broadcast season. An Indian guru counts from 1 to 20 on his four arms, accompanied by sitar music and a lot of psychedelic visuals. As a bonus, there's a recap in Spanish!

    True that. By the time this rolled around, psychedelic imagry was already co-opted by Madison Avenue, and the broader Pop Culture in general. Everyone, from 6 to 60, it seemed, could identify the groovy without having to indulge in its' source.

  • @WayOutWardell and gracie s. did do the singing in the Jazzy Spies segments

  • acid

  • This woman has a very sexy voice!

  • It might be like veiwing a kaleidoscope on LSD, but I still dont subscribe to the suggestion there were subliminal references to drug use and psycadelic behaviour on SS. The average age of the SS veiwer in 1970 was 5 years old.....so they were either very naive or very irresponsible if there were, or just very artistic and were portraying the trend of the time. We probably read more into this today than the 70's veiwer ever did!

  • ever notice she says 11 like 'leven? lol & after 16 in spanish it gets slurred hehe

  • @SchizoidMan100 Not far off...it's sung by Jean Piersol, who was in the Great Society band, which Grace Slick left to join the Airplane.

  • I don't know if it's true, but I heard that Jefferson Airplane front woman Grace Slick is doing the singing in this one.

  • Man, this was trippy, but I just loved it as a kid!

  • @Todeskaefer

    Should have been Hindi.
