DISCLAIMER: I do not own this clip. All rights belong to Sesame Workshop.

Jerry Nelson serenades us on how to conserve water.

Written by Chris Cerf, the song is a spoof of "Cool Water" by Bob Nolan, which was a hit in 1948 for The Sons of the Pioneers.

THIS SONG HAS BEEN POPPING UP IN MY HEAD SINCE MY EARLIEST MEMORY AND I NEVER KNEW WHY. EVERYTHING IS UNFOLDING.

I still think about this song, and this is the first time I've actually heard it in over a decade. Wow my impression of this song has significantly changed over time O_O

This song has literally been stuck in my head for 15 years! Seriously, every time I brushed my teeth when I was little, my brain would go "don't waste water! water, water, water, water, water!!" They must have put some subliminal trickery hidden in this thing, I swear I've only heard it once in my life before I found this video! D:

It sounds a lot like "Cool Water" by the Sons of the Pioneers.

I've had this song in the back of my head for the longest time. I'm so glad I've managed to identify it.
