*Sighs* My childhood, its good to see you again.

People need to relax! This is not Sesame Street attempting an "African" style of music. This is Jim Henson performing with LEGENDARY South African a cappella group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who were famous in their own right, but also collaborated with Paul Simon on his Graceland album. Sesame Street invited them to create this gem. They DO speak English in South Africa, but the group also adds lyrics in Zulu and Sotho from time to time. I'm black and there is nothing racist about this!
