The ABC Song on "Mother Goose Video Treasury Vol. 2" (1987)

This is an absurd and bewildering little clip from a series of kid's videos about Mother Goose. Despite, of course, that the alphabet song isn't really widely considered to be a Mother Goose property, it's on this tape, probably to push the time up to 30 minutes.

The memories I have of this sequence are deep-rooted, and go back to age two or earlier. Even then I thought it was weird, and that's why I loved watching it. Kind of. The part where the man, who's really too old to be wearing a tablecloth and obsessing over the English alphabet, dances on the letters printed on a book page was a bit much for my poor toddler brain.

But, I wanted to share it with YouTube. Fair warning: this is easily one of *the* gayest pre-Teletubbies clips from a children's program.

Also, those puppets look nasty, like they're going to eat me alive.

OSG stands for Overseas Shipholding, by the way
