Sesame Street - Different People, Different Ways

The original version of the song written by Sam Pottle & Tony Geiss, as performed by Buffy Sainte-Marie in 1977. Buffy's new baby Cody has been getting a lot of attention from everyone on Sesame Street, and Big Bird gets jealous after no-one seems interested in looking at the new picture he has drawn. This segment was featured on the 10th anniversary special hosted by James Earl Jones, and can be seen on a TV screen in the Peter Sellers movie "Being There". The song has also been remade twice in later episodes of Sesame Street with similar themes of getting used to a baby sibling.

It does sound a lot like the Punch Drunk Love theme.

As soon as she started to sing, the tears fell from my eyes.

"everyone loves through all their days different people, different ways." What a simple and beautiful thing to teach children.
