A classic clip that I grew up with. Even though I never really understood what it was about, besides the letter X, of course.

  • Now I remember this - definitely 1970's (if not 1969)!  Guitar and flute music was good, but I wonder if the theme of this patterns after other clips such as

    'Psychedelic Alphabet' and 'Psychedelic Countdown,' or vice versa. Just a thought.

  • Could be.

  • I think the artwork and music in this one are pretty cool; it was a terrible shame when they replaced the sound (music *and* speaker identifying the X!) in the 90s.

  • I'm glad you mentioned that because I do remember seeing this again with the sound and msuic being replaced. I didn't mention it because I didn't know if anyone else would have believed me or not but I'm glad you did.

  • Good point...so much symboilsm associated with X in our culture makes it look like the "bad letter". (X also marks answers wrong in school, and crosses out things that are unwanted or forbidden.) Seeing the letter in a more peaceful, neutral setting is a step in the right direction...though I'd love to see Sesame Street's treatment of "X for a kiss" sometime!

  • Wow... I've been waiting decades to see & hear this again. Thanks X1,000 for posting

  • One of my absolute favorite animation pieces from the show. Great music, illustrations, and overall feeling. What could they possibly replce this with!?!?!

  • Man, for the last few weeks, I kept hearing the music from this clip in my head, but I couldn't for the life of me remember which clip it was … "X X X X". Great stuff.

  • When I stumbled upon a railroad crossing in Canada and saw the red & white X sign, it reminded me of this segment.

  • x? more like acid to me....

  • The producer of this one was probably tripping on acid...

  • That was beautiful!

  • All it really takes to re-play the beautiful music is possibly a guitar and flute. Figure someone may do that someday
