This skit always made me sad when I was a child-- seeing the eagle fly away with the egg and imagining how the queen must have felt. Watching it now is a huge nostalgia trip.
-
That narrator sounds so much like Lou Reed, lol.... The same guy that sings "Walk On The Wild Side"

@skydog67 What a lovely comment. My thoughts exactly

The music always gave me chills. at 9 years old, it was a musical awakening. I don't think I ever heard a sitar before this. The story is so bittersweet.
-

-
This is the same animation when they made the O song.

The Ice cream wouldn't last long in the 'Land Of Steam'......!!!!!!

This guy's voice sounds like Kevin Spacey.

This has always haunted me too. So beautiful. I thought I heard Sesame Street doesn't provide animated segments anymore. If not, what a shame. It's pieces like this that stand out in my mind more so than Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch!

I am so glad that this is part of my childhood. I was born in 67, and haven't heard this since 72 or 73! My God, it's been haunting my memories for 36 years, and to see it finally, it's just as profoundly stirring and surreal and sad as it was when I was 5. Spellbinding. It was amazing to see and hear this back then, with the mind of a five year old, having it affect me the way it did, and not have the ability to understand why. What do 5 year olds have now? Blues Clues.

How is it possible that a group of people who just wanted to help poor inner-city children learn their letters and numbers were able to create something so beautiful, that forty-odd years later, just about every one of us between the ages of 30 and 45 starts bawling when they watch this video? Truly, this is art.
