Early Muppet fav from childhood. Memorable song and fun puppetry (I especially loved the movement of the vehicles). Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Caroll Spinney. Song by Jeff Moss.

  • All three of them are great, but Frank Oz steals the show as usual, hot-doggin' his little car around in the background while the other verses are being sung.

  • I am sure that Jim is operating a puppet that became Roosevelt Franklin about a year later.

  • Actually, I barely remembered any of it...'til seeing Jim "sink" the boat at the very end, and suddenly it was "OH WOW THIS ONE!". Very odd what a 41 year old brain decides to remember...

  • @sweetlife031 Well, keep in mind, during this first season of Sesame Street, there were just the three Muppeteers: Jim, Frank, and Caroll (with occasional assistance from others like John Lovelady and Jane Henson).

  • @elc1960

    You have just offered me some very interesting food for thought! Thank you for the response!

  • @Smartboy8877 You are indeed correct - the show did indeed premiere in '69. I agree withyou 100%; Elmo isn't a bad character, but the show has become all about him. Not sure if Brian Henson has a contract with CTW to do skits using his dad's Muppets for the show anymore. Maybe he should reintroduce the kids to Bert & Ernie and the rest through some new bits.

  • @love2register

    I see what you mean about Martin! His character was always way to rational and sensible for his own good! Poor guy!

  • @elc1960

    Actually, the show first came out in 1969. The year I was born! In any event, I see your point about it having become "The Elmo Show"! Although I have nothing against his character per se, I really do think that he monopolizes the show at the expence of good things like this song and skit!

  • @tpirman1982

    You have a lot of creative juices! Always nice to find a new You Tube friend!

  • couldnt stop laughing about the guy going riding in a car with his vrooming and how is the boat sinking??? haha lmfaaoo

  • @UpRoaryus this one and The O Song lol
