I LOVE the 'yip-yip' martians. Also Bert & Ernie - way, way ahead of their time.

The first link goes to the Stevie Wonder song, not the pinball number song. I found the pinball number song here: http://www.devilducky.com/media/41257/

The reason I went to look it up is because in all these years of listening to it (and knowing it by heart) I never actually "heard" the emphasis on FOUR and NINE and when you wrote it up that way, I just *had* to go listen again. I always heard it as a pause after, but not an emphasis on those numbers... in fact, I would have said the emphasis was on the FIVE and TEN if you'd asked.

I made Chris listen to it, and when asked, he hears the emphasis where you do.

That Chris is a good man.

I went back and fixed the link to the correct YouTube video. Thanks for digging up the DevilDucky link.

I'm trying to find time today to watch all the Bert and Ernies. I love 'em!

I love the Bert's brother Bart clip. It's hilarious.

I found a couple of new ones that are worth checking out: Sherlock Hemlock and the missing chicken salad sandwich and the two-headed monster reads a story.

Wow. What a great post.

But...

Where's "The Count?"

Poor Bert--I guess someone has to carry the burden of sensibility.

Thank you, J.D.!!

Were you able to find the kitten princess skit? I just remember white kittens. It would make my day if you could find it.

I have issues with Oscar. I used to have nightmares of Oscar growing up. He would drive around in a corvette looking for kids around Barlow Rd., and kill them. - of course I was the only one outside.
I think Gordon and Maria are still on the show - they look amazing - they've hardly aged.
Thanks for today's entry.
Did you watch The Electric Company? Remember Letter Man?

Ernie and Cookie Monster are the best Sesame Street characters ever -- that Bert is such a dork.

Noah and I just watched a bunch of the clips. I gave him the option to choose whichever character he wanted to watch -- he only wanted to watch clips with Ernie and Cookie Monster... what a good kid! :-)

On a side note, I think 'Ernie breaks the cookie jar' has to be about my all-time favorite... it is just classic Ernie.

Amazing stuff - thanks so much for sharing.

I know you're probably not doing requests, but do you (or does anyone) have the "Fat cat sat on the mat!" beatnik skit? That's possibly one of my favourites...

This is the best post EVER. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Cool!!! Thanks!

Joanne forwarded a link to the video she was looking for, Number Two Dollhouse; Jeff has requested that I track down the clip in which Ernie eats all of the pizza; and I'm keeping my eye out for the "fat cat sat on the mat" clip. Any other requests?

Thanks so much for putting this up! I'm a new Dad and am flashing back to earlier days.
Did you find the Pigeon song that Ernie does? That is probably my favorite Sesame street song.

[Editorial deadspace added by J.D. because URLs break the sidebar.] You forgot my favorite, Teeny Little Super Guy.

After an exhaustive search -- ;) -- I found one clip of The Count counting apples with some Cookie Monster hijinx.

As far as requests go, I would LOVE to see the bit where Bert goes on a trip, and so the Count comes over to keep Ernie company. The Count begins to count sheep, and in the end Ernie comes out looking rather wild - one of the few times that Ernie ends up on the short end of the stick.

Oh man, great entry. Those martians with the telephone? The ones that go "Yip yip yip, uh-huh uh-huh"? Simultaneously fascinating and disturbing to my young self. Still kind of are.

Thanks for this! My daughter and I just watched a bunch. You must have put a lot of work into it!
Here is one more:
King of Eight

Great list! Has anyone got a clip of Cecile the Orange with a rubber band mouth that sang the opera Carmen ? It was a stop motion animation clip.

Being the father of a 17-month-old little girl, I watch Sesame Street every single day. It's still the best educational program on television.

Thanks for compiling this great list!

Mahna Mahna is actually a skit from The Muppet Show.

(Not that I mind.)

Does anyone know where "Me and My Llama" can be found?

How about "I remember!! I remember !! A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter....." ???? That one always killed me.........

Any chance anyone can find "Roosevelt Franklin"? That's a favorite of mine from the show.

How about James Taylor singing the Jelly song....THAT's a classic!!

oh this was just great! thanks for sharing :)

"Go away if you have work things to get done"

dude: reading just that made me start to work down the list you provided, the least i can do now is to keep up with you...

cheers!

Mahna Mahna isn't from Sesame Street. It's from The Muppet Show.

The "Yip Yip" Martians scene with the telephone has lived in my memory for so many years. I never thought I would see it again, but having seen it, it's even better than I remember. Wow. Priceless.

Ok, this is truly awesome!!! Just one missing that I'm DYING to see again: Ernie singing "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon"!!!! I'm a 26 y/o guy, and when I think about that song, I still get kinda misty eyed! My seven year old loves it now, and we have it on cd, but I'd LOVE to show her the video if anyone can find it! Thanks!!!

Oh, the memories!! I was watching Family Guy the other night, and they did a take-off on the pinball numbers song that absolutely killed me. I love it!

If anyone can find the "Gimme Five" song, where all the Sesame Street men, in tuxes, do their best Temptations impression singing about the number five. It's bilingual!

I have to agree with Andy that the "Loaf of bread" cartoon was great! When I was a kid, I thought he was saying "A potato and milk" instead of a CONTAINER of milk. My sisters and I still joke about that.

Talk about a trip down memory lane. That was a blast. Thanks.

I'd also love to have the song 'Me and my Llama'

I'm probably a little older than you, b/c I remember classic pop songs like "Up, up & Away" and "Yellow Submarine" but what about the muppets and our favorite geometric shape singing Huey Lewis's "It's Hip to be a Square"??

What a great site, but what about Madeline Kahn doing "sing a song"? And where's the count?

I know what we're doing at our house this weekend! Can't wait! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

Say, does any one remember Ernie singing "Everybody Wash"? I don't remember seeing it on the show, but we had the song on a Sesame Street album (vinyl, of course).

There is a version of Ernie & Shawn Colvin singing "I don't want to live on the moon" on the Elmopalooza video. Despite your feelings about the red guy, it's not a bad video. After all, Jon Stewart hosts! Lots of guest artists. Chris Rock even has a bit. Praire Dawn (could be wrong on the name - not enough caffeine yet today) also is in the show. To my mind, she's old school like Roosevelt Franklin.

Thanks again!

Thanks, these are great. I thought it was "a potato OF milk" when I was little and I always thought what in the WORLD is a potato of milk?

I've been trying to find a clip of the "Milk" song. the only word in the song is "milk", sung over and over again, while a baby cries for her bottle, as a milk truck driver is frantically trying to get to the house in time to quiet the screaming baby. drama at it's finest, a true classic!!

Another request, what about the version of "Stop hey what's that sound, everybody look what's going down" as a song teaching you to look both ways before crossing the street?

And another fan of the yip-yip martians here!

Great list. I would love to see the loaf of bread.
Also, would be great to see Grover as the waiter, or the guy who goes into the music store to buy a trumpet and mimes it. The sales guy keeps bringing back the wrong instrument.
CLASSIC

How about W for Wilhamena!

And I can't find any information on a clip that said "My name is Fred, they call me Fred" and can't remember the rest

You're awesome! My kids (and husband) think I'm so lame because I'm still the biggest Sesame Street fan in the household. So what! I'll keep watching and listening. At least my husband did buy the Muppet Show Season 1 DVD and we all enjoy it so much.

Thanks for the links!

Tamra (38), Williamsburg, VA

Thanks for all the great clips. Have been looking for the clip of the Orange that sings the "Habanera" from the opera Carmen. Was always one of my favorites.

I'd love to see "Muppets Rhyme in School" (rose rhymes with nose...). Also, any "Teeny Little Super-Guy" clips would be appreciated. Thanks for putting this together!

You have no idea how long I have waited to see such a list. These are all really good. I am missing a few favorites though. "Lower Case n standing on a hill", the "D Song" with the dolls and dragons, the "O Song (o-o-o-o)", "G-Grover, G-George", "Everybody Sleeps", and "Muppet News flash with the Three Pigs". I could go on and on. I have a 9 year old and we will be taking a trip through time over the weekends until we have seen them all. I have the Muppets at home. These are just glorious icing on the cake. Thanks again. Keep them coming.

Wow, so many great memories here...The Number 3 Painter, and the Six Dollar Man (that one scared the crap out of me as a kid--why??)
All the comments bring back great memories too...the Singing Loaf of Bread, the "Milk" song, and one of the best..W-W-W-Willamina!!!

Thanks for this awesome list.

Great post! It has been years since I've seen some of these. Is it my imagination, or is the Number 3 Painter the same guy who played the British neighbour on The Jeffersons?

Awesome! Awesome! Bring back many fond memories of when I was a lad. And now that I am a dad myself, I love them all (old and new) all over again. But how can you not have the Goo-Goo Dolls with Elmo singing "Pride" (to the tune of Slide). I know Elmo rubs many people the wrong way and I can understand that- but he has his high points too.

wow what great and i really bad memory. I loved the show sesame street as a kid. I still have soem music (including for fans of rosevelt franklin) from sesame street as a kid. I'm putting soem music on my i pod so if anybody is interested i might be able to send soem music over to whomever is interested. the only bad thing about this site iss that fact that sammy the snake is on it.as a child i had mightmares about that Sssstupid,s sssilly ssssserphant. evn after ssseing that clip again issstill get nightaressss.
my personal favorite is the casey mcphee clip i still get cockles in my tummy seeing cookie monster eating that avalance. and that number three clip is great it was one of my favorites. and with almost forty years later sesame street is still going strong. may this show continue to live for at least one more generation of children Jim henson would want it that way.

Thanks you for posting these and bringing back some awesome memories!!! I'm shocked & amazed to hear that someone else remembers the "Milk...MI-ILK...milk" skit with the baby crying and the milk truck. I was starting to think this was a figment of my early imagination! Also, does anyone remember the Native American (?) guy who could play this little twangy-sounding stringed instrument he put in his mouth? Or how about the type-writer that rolled around (in the void?) humming "doo doo doo, doo doo"? God bless Mr. Hooper!

So fun! What about "a loaf of bread, a quart of milk, and a stick of butter"?

No "Wet Paint"?

i was wondering if you ever found a song parody of billy idol called "Rebel L?"

thanks

The James Taylor song is "Jellyman Kelly"
If you want some more great stuff, check out the DVD "Sing Yourself Silly"

Desperately seeking the Opera Singing Orange clip! I've Googled my brains out to no avail! Not only was it my most favorite clip, but it was also the scariest.

Thanks!

[This is editorial dead space added to compensate for a bug in this weblog's sidebar.] The list of 25 great Sesame Street moments, some of which you guys have mentioned.

oh joy, we crashed youtube. sigh.
theyre probably gonna yank them all, now that theyre rounded up and pointed out like this.

posts like this basically have to be kept amongst friends....

These are great! I actually saw a lot of them the other day when I did my own search for Bert singing the Bedtime (or was it Naptime?) song. I didn't have any luck finding that one -- anyone know where I can find it?

Fantastic collection — thanks for putting this together.

Here's one of my favorite old-school Sesame Street sketches, which features two Muppets talking about shapes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOfyAA7vcy0

"Do you know what a square is?"
"I know who a square is!"

Sara, I remember that Fred song too..

"My name is Fred, they call me Fred, and every night when I get tired I go to... duh..."

And that seems to be all I can remember.

Does anyone remember a short animated piece that used to appear occasionally on Sesame Street? I swear it had Philip Glass music/singing (a la Koyaanisqatsi) as a soundtrack. On a black background it showed a wonderful geometric animation of circles being drawn within circles. Hypnotic.

I wonder if I'm crazy.

Hi there!
Im writing a paper on the family and kinship and am using Sesame Street as an example of a show that promoted community in the 1970s.
I used to be a huge fan of the show as a child but now live in countries where it isnt broadcast anymore.
Your insight would be very helpful in terms of how the show has changed and if it still gives great importance to the whole family beyond blood ties (like in "Follow that Bird" Maria gives a speech in the end about how it doesnt matter if youre a grouch or a bird etc they all support each other on the street and they are ultimately his "real" family).
Anyway, I wont go into anymore detail. Let me know if you need me to clarify anthing. Thank you for your time :)

Wow, I just killed an hour (and called my sister at 12:30 at night to tell her "Holy Cow you gotta check this out!")

If you're doing updates, here's one to add:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9gkIghK6U&search=sesame%20street%20tv%20retro%20cartoon%20animation

It's the old lady who lived in a 9.

Could you maybe find WET PAINT (the how now brown cow video)?

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for posting all of these! In the past few days I have become completely obsessed with Sesame Street all over again! I've watched basically every single sketch that's on YouTube... thank you so much! This is fantastic! I must admit that there are quite a few that I remember that I have yet to find, but I'll keep looking as well. Thanks again!

Me and My Llama - I love this segment. It was always one of my favorites. Does anyone know or have the video or where I can find it? There are T-shirts and the lyrics but I can't seem to find the video. Help!

I love this site! I am so dissapointed in today's Sesame Street. I want to make a video for my kids to watch of the "good old days". How can I download these videos? Also, have you come accross the "There's a Hole in The Bucket" skit? That was one of my favorites! Thanks!

I LOVE THIS! I've been looking for clips like these forever! I wonder if anyone can find "Me and My Llama" where that little girl takes her Llama to the dentist in NYC. Or that one animated clip about the seasons, summer, autum, winter, and spring where the flowers are growing and stuff. Is there any way to download these clips to my Ipod?

I am also looking for "Me and My Llama". I would LOVE to see that one again!
Great site:) I am a nanny, and I watch a lot of sesame street videos, but you just can't beat the originals. They are too great.

When my daughter was about two or three she had a "friend" named Harry who only called her on the phone. Pretty much every time she saw a phone she would pretend it was ringing and pick it up and say "Oh, HellOOOH Harry!"

It was several months before I discovered that she had seen the awesome Sesame Street cartoon where the lady's about to feed her cat when the phone rings and she picks it up and says "Oh, HellOOOH Harriet!".

I would be very grateful to anyone who has that cartoon!

By populare request, I am going to attempt to track down "Me and My Lllama". I don't remember the skit, but many of you do...

OMG!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!

I'm 36 and never had any children, but I still find myself singing (in my head) stuff like "Lady Bug Picnic" and "1,2,3,FOUR,5,6,7,8,NINE,10,11,Tweellllve!

OK, I'm weird, I know :)

Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SITE!!!!!

-Kel

P.S., any chance of finding anything with Mr. Looper? HOOPER!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!! Thank you SO much for making this site possible, it is by far, the BEST Sesame Street site I have yet seen. (and I am a HUUUUUUGE fan!) Most of these clips brought back fond, fond memories for me and I can't thank you enough, how great it was to see these again!!! I have been searching for YEARS to find a site like this one. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Neat site man! Most of these I forgot existed..lol
Any clips with 'Forgetful Jones' out there?

I've thought of some more that I know I would love to see, and judging by the responses from the rest of the peep's here, I bet they would too!!

Bert & Ernie - The Blackout
Bert & Ernie - Fishing (heeeer fishy FisHY FISHY!)
Bert & Ernie - Ernie Gets Scared at the Movies
The Golden "An"
W is the First Letter in the Name WILBUR
Milk, Milk, Milk
The Mailman Brings The Mail (all different places)
"Gonk" and "Geefol" (sp?)
The Counting Chef-Falling Down
Cookie Monster and the Moon
Anything with Snuffy!
And Finally, My ALLTIME FAVORITE - The Flower (classical song playing, showing parts of the flower) - OMG, I CRIED EVERYTIME I SAW THAT ONE :)

Thanks again!!!
-Kel

What about the orange guy in cartoon that blew bubbles up to seven and pops at the end

What about the orange guy in cartoon that blew bubbles up to seven and pops at the end

OH my god thankyou so much for putting these clips together, I had been talking about Bert and Ernie and meaning to hunt down a collection of their skits, and mimicing them to my boy, who found this site and directed me here. awesome collection!!!!

FANTASTIC SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm from Sydney, Australia, but we grew up with Sesame Street over here as well!

Was at a camp a couple of weeks ago where they had some Llama's running around and it brought "Me and my Llama" flooding back to memory! Would LOVE to see that again if it can be found!

It was mentioned in an earlier post that "Me and my Llama" t shirts can be found ... any hints where? (have searched with no luck ...)

I remember a video clip from Sesame Street back in the 70s of a bunch of animals and people scratching an itch and the main part of the song goes "Ooo Ah Ooo, I got an itch! Ooo Ah Ooo, I got an itch!" Anyone remember that, or where it can be found? I'd LOVE to see that again. My cousin and I would LAUGH SO HARD, it was our favorite segment of Sesame Street but I haven't seen it since before I was 10 yrs old. I'm 36 now.

Hey, anyone remember that Sesame Street short with the guy with the up and down remote control that makes stuff go up and down and eventually topples London Bridge? I'd like to download that one.

After what seems like hours of scouring the internet, I cannot find a clip for the "Loaf of Bread, Quart (Container) of Milk, Stick of Butter" Cartoon. It is making me want to scratch my eyes out in frustration! Even an Mp3 or picture would help. How across the entire internet is this not readily available?! If anyone has any clue, could you give me one? I have exhausted all of my resources. Sesame Street might be the best thing ever. Thanks.

OMG - check this out!!!! even more cool Sesame Stuff!!!

[url]http://www.thecapras.org/mcapra/muppets/faq.html[/url]

Oooops.....sorry :)

LOVE THE NET! Just when I was remebering all those retro Sesame Street shorts I loved as a child and wishing I could see some of them again just one more time, I find this. I text my brother "YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!"
A million THANK YOUS! THANK YOU THANK YOU
Now does anyone remember the Ernie and Bert sketch where Ernie wakes up, can't find Bert and thinks martians have kidnapped him but Bert was just fixing oatmeal? "Oatmeal! Yip Yip Yip"

So fun! What about "a loaf of bread, a quart of milk, and a stick of butter"?

OMG! I remember that one! Thanks for the clips! I just had a lovely walk down memory lane.

I would also love to see the clip with the orange with the rubber band mouth singing Carmen. Another one I remember, and this is about 30 years ago, so pardon my fuzzy memory, is a stop-motion clip of lots of beans (like pinto beans) marching. That one was very strange, and didn't have much dialogue, other than the sounds of the beans marching along in formation.

L :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The number song has been stuck in my head for at least 25 years. I seem to remember one skit where the little Muppet guy was singing about finding the exit sign but it was there all along. Can you try to track that one down? I, still to this day, laugh out loud thinking about the exit guy.

I have a 2 year old that loves llamas. I hope someone can find "Me and My Llama". It has always been my favorite. I sing it all the time and my older boys think I have lost my mind.
Good Luck!!!!

wanted to know where to find the clip of the "loaf of bread, stick of butter, container of milk". been looking for it everywhere,with no luck do you know where to find it? you page says it's on here, but having trouble getting it to come up!! thanks for your help.

WE have to see the geometric shape singing Huey Lewis's "It's Hip to be a Square"!!! Thats the best.

Matthew - re: your 5 May '06 post - you are NOT crazy!! I too remember this geometric clip with the Philip Glass music and I have been driving myself crazy trying to find it for many years! Does anyone have any links??

What happened to the Number Two Dollhouse video you have linked?? That was my all time favorite as I had those same dolls when I was little....I STILL have those dolls as a matter of fact. This site is awesome...the only drawback is there just aren't enough clips to satisfy my trip down memory lane. Sesame Street is the best kids programming ever produced...EVER!! I watched it faithfully as a child and now get to watch it again with my own 3 kids. Is there any way to save these clips to our own systems?

Cool clips.Do you think you can find "The Letter N"?The song sung by Nick Normal and the Nickmatics?

Hey guys :)

I thought of some more......

Anything with Oscar's worm - "Slimey"

Fire! Fire!....(big industrial fire), at the end they say "The Fire's Out", the fire's out, the fire's OUT!

Weird deep tone piano with running ostriges (that one used to SCARE ME!)

"B"....Butterfly!!.....BLEAH!!

Sinister Sam wants to know "Y"

I'm making soup today (mom & kid go to the store)

It's eleven o'clock, time to wake up...it's a lovely eleven morning

Counting in Spanish (kinda like a kaliedescope thing)

Construction alphabet - a guy singing in the lunch box

"Ug" & "Me-Wannum"......"Indians don't talk like that"

.....I wish I knew how to post clips

-k

I hope this works.....

Great page! I would love it if you have this one. I think it's by the Oinker Sisters and it goes "I've Got You Down, on My Knee "B". I saw it in 2001 when my son was first born, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet!!!

Thanks!

Does anyone remember "I'm a dog, I'm a working dog, I'm a hard working dog" was about a border collie. Would love to see that againg. What happened to the Number 2 doll house link, my 3 year old cried today because I couldn't pull it up.

Still looking for the Number 2 doll house link but I found this note about it

Cheryl Henson
Vice President of the Jim Henson Company

For my third birthday my father built a dollhouse that looked like the house where we lived—a 300-year-old farmhouse. I loved that gift because my father made it himself. It was cool having a house for our dolls that so closely resembled our own house. My sister Lisa and I played with our favorite dolls in that dollhouse. My father made a film for Sesame Street featuring the dollhouse and the number 2. The film included two little girls, two little dolls, and two little cats in a little dollhouse.
So Jim Henson built that little doll house too. What an amazing man.

Hey! Whatever happened to Cowboy "X" and the Good people of Sniddler's Gulch. Well, I guess they weren't that clever anyway. (P.S. found this site at work today when - wait for it - I was abusing company internet facilities! In Australia we too miss and love the "Real" Sesame Street. The humour, the cheerful (sometimes depressing - think Lower Case N) ditties. Classic stuff. My poor kids don't have any concept of how much laughter this show contained.

Loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEah_dWn-9Y

Dennis has just earned mega karma for finding that clip. I'll post it to the body of the entry. Thanks, Dennis!

My very favorite is Grover as the waiter and the guy orders a hamburger and he's in a hurry and Grover says: Round and tasty on a bun, pickles french fries yum, yum, yum; in a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

OMG, that's my favorite! If anyone could find that, I will be eternally greatful!!!

I love this site...thank you so much for all these memories!

holy shit.

THANKYOU.

I LOVE THIS!!! I also remember one of a baby being put to bed in his crib, then as soon as his mother closes the door, he rocks out. There's a light show and he wails. I think it's about how he cries. Anyone remember that one?

LOVE the Telephone Rock. That was one of my favorites.

My fiance and I remember a skit where a dimwitted guy at a piano sang "My Name Is Fred." Does anyone know where we can find this?

This is an AWESOME site!!! My best friend (5'4")is marrying a tall girl (6') in August. I am the best man. I am looking for the Geefle and Gonk clip about cooperation. I think it would be a fantastic part of my wedding speech. They remind me of the Geefle and the Gonk!!!!! I have searched everywhere!! Can somebody help within the month of July???

Thanks!!!!!

Geefle and Gonk is currently on Youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ujRf0sx_AE

To echo Jacqui's comments. Whatever happened to Cowboy X? I would be incredibly grateful if someone posted this clip on YouTube.

Herbie Hancock Demonstrates the Fairlight on Sesame Street

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn1LW3wyRrc

I have been avidly looking the classic sesame street clip of the "Milk" song. The only word in the song is "milk", sung repeatedly.
Like Jenn, I too would love to see this clip

I'd also like to see the clip about the border collie (Hard working dog).

Thanks for the memories. I was too old for Sesame Street when it came out in the 1960s, but enjoyed it with my daughters in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

We had a good laugh over the yip-yip martians. Priceless stuff!!!

Ok i need EVERYONEs help. I am trying to find a short that i THINK was on sesame, but might have been on another PBS show.

Here it is: There was a Juice Glass... and it had a picture of a man on it... And he would come to life, jump out of the cubbard, and run around the kitchen... come to think of it, he might have been a salt or pepper shaker, not a glass... but I cant remember... if you know PLEAE PLEASE help me out...

CORLI1@aol.com... THANKS EVERYONE!

I found it, it was TINY LITTLE SUPER GUY!!!!

MILK MILK MILK (that's the only word in the song)
SAMMY THE SNAKE (looks like the letter "S")
AARDVARK song

i have been singing the milk milk milk thing for going on 20 years. nobody i know has EVER seen it.

OOH....and the one where they make a saxophone.

Please, someone find Me and My Llama!!!

http://www.live365.com there is a free muppet central link. Listened for 2 hours last night. A great Roosevelt Franklin song I had not heard in 30 years. great stuff.

Milk, where is it, was about the process of milk being made, a hustling milkman getting the milk to a crying baby.
Roosevelt Franklin, elementary school. Where is it? I can remember in the early days he was very prominent on the show, then nothing.
My name is Fred, they call me Fred, and every night when I get tired I go to, uhhh(soft voice Bed) yeah bed.
still waiting for a new link to the number 2 dollhouse, and where is hard working dog?

Did a google on Roosevelt Franklin and found this link. http://www.toughpigs.com/anthhipster02.htm
I knew I hadn't killed that many brain cells. Seems like Noggin aired the episode. Hope someone grabbed it. Would love to see it.

Does anyone else remember Grover coming up to Kermit(usually sitting on a wall) and going "Heyyyyyy Froggieeeee Babbyyyyyy" followed by a smack on the back? I can't find that.
What about(live action) You take a C that's cuh and an A-T at, you put em' all together and that spells Cat.
How about, "Has anybody seen my dog, has anybody seen my dog, he loved me so-o-o, why'd he ever have to go"

Number 2 dollhouse is back. You can find it here:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=LWrUykkc-bs&search=Sesame%20Street

I am also dying to watch ME AND MY LLAMA!!.

Please someone find it!!

Alright, llama fans: I'll do the best I can. So many of you have come and visited this page that I'm *even* willing to spend money to find this video for you. I'll start trying to use the magic of the internet to track this down...

I'm looking for the sesame street skit called, " Above it all" it's a green alligator lookin' lady floating above the world...she's wearing pink and green....thanks!

Does anyone know where I can view some of those clips with real people? I would love to see the one with the family making chicken soup, or the grandma making tortillas, or the rural mail route somewhere in the Blue Hills. I also was sort of obsessed with the Milk, Mi-illlk, Milk piece as well as the one with the guy making the stool for his daughter. They are bring me back to the less-urban, hippy-like Sesame Street days...

THANK YOU for the milk video!! I was just thinking about that the other day! Did you know they removed the Ernie-Bert-Cookie Jar video and the Loaf of Bread clip? I am devastated. Anyway, we also need to have on here the following:
Captain Vegetable
The movie about how they make crayons
Me and My Llama (my mom and I still sing that one to each other and have for years)
And one I'm surprised nobody mentioned--when Cookie Monster goes to the library and asks for cookies:
"We don't HAVE any cookies! Just books!"
Punchline: "Then me want a BOOK about cookies...and a glass of milk." Classic!

How crayons are made. I hope you enjoy it. Here it is:

How crayons are made

Cookie Monster at the Library, enjoy. I also have hard working dog but haven't figured out how to get it off dvd.

Hi, i'd like to ask if i can download your video clips. I'm going to use it for my report on Art studies...

I am hoping for any reply.

Thanks!

Hey all - after a lot of searching, I have just found a video clip of the surreal "D song". I love this. Check it out:

LOL cookie monster in library is great
but i want me and my llama :(

Hi, this was a great post. I cant explain how happy i am :D
After all those years, like an unforgottable friend :)
But i get the "This video has been removed by the user." message when i click some links. Some clips have been removed from youtube ? Can someone put them again ?

And the most desired "Loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter" video, too. Youtube says "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." What is wrong with it ? Where can i find it now ?

Please ... please someone post hard workin' dog - it's one of my favorite things from childhood and I'd like to show it to my children...

I still want to see the orange cartoon character that blew bubbles up to seven and pops at the end.

I second the "Hard working dog" clip. I've been looking for this for a few years now.

Can someone upload "danger's no stranger" sung by how now brown cow and the moo wave

I don't know the episode
But it was like 25 yrs or more ago
The scene was a sunflower on a flower pot
sitting on the ledge of a balcony
just after the rain.
There is a solo nylon/classical guitar playing on the background

Does anybody know the title of the song played?
Any in fo is appreciated pls post the answer.

One thing I've been hoping to find for a while is the Bert and Ernie sketch where the TV is broken and only shows the letter H, which they discover is because it's all crammed with a bunch of things that start with H.

The TV just sits there making this rising and falling hum, with the letter H fading in and out, and this monotone, creepy voice just keeps repeating, "H.... H.... H...." Freaked me the heck out when I was five.

Hello! This could be a long shot, but does anyone remember that claymation clip, of I think her name was sally? She would sit on the beach and she licked a seashell? It was claymation for sure. Im wondering if anyone has the URL for that one.

Does anyone know where I can find the Rebel L song? Thas song is one of my FAVORITES!!

Does anyone remember the skit where 2 puppets, one short with bendable arms and one tall with straight arms, have to work together to get the fruit from the tree and eat it? I am looking for it.

San, you're looking for this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNWHrlvL5Y

It's the Largo from Vivaldi's guitar concerto in D.

Also, I've been looking for two pieces of incidental music from Sesame Street for some time -- maybe someone can help me track them down. They're both originally from live-action segments, shot on film and played between skits; I transcribed them from memory, arranged them, and played them in concert in 1998, with excerpts here:

http://www.rockoverlondon.com/mp3/sesame-suite.mp3

The first one was originally scored for an ensemble that included bassoon and glockenspiel, and I don't remember what the original film was, besides that it was something in a natural setting.

The second, however, should be easier to find -- it's the one with a guy kayaking down a river, and from what I can recall, repeatedly flipping over...I bet many of you will recognize the tune (in the MP3 it starts about 2/3 of the way through).

Can anyone help?

Can you find video on a song where the Letter U is grabbing onto Smokey Robinson singing "You really got a hold on me." I cannot find it and my son is driving me crazy trying to find it. Thanks!

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the Llama.

Could any one help me out? I am looking for a song called "thanks for the memories" I think Kermit sang it. I have googled for hours trying to find it.

My fire department puts on a fire prevention show at all of the schools every October. The founder of the fire prevention program Chief Chris past away last month and we want to use that song for a tribute to him in this years show.

If any of you can help me please email me at rmd82582@yahoo.com

At last! Here's the kayak video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iWocitr2q8

JEFF: thank you so much!!!

Thanks to a kind Youtuber, I now have audio for the other song I mentioned. Apparently, it was originally set to footage of a hawk flying in the air, and the music is by Joe Raposo, as is the kayak music. Nice one!

I just don't have much to say these days, but so it goes. Today was a total loss. I guess it doesn't bother me.

Thanks Jeff for the llama link, im so happy i could pee

Does anyone remember the cartoon with the elephant that counts to four with its legs. One Two Three Kick! The elephant falls down and the trees and bushes crashes down around it. After everything falls down around it the announcer says "As you can see this is an elephant. Elephants have 4 legs 1....2....3....4!" I was wondering where I can get that cartoon

What ever happened to the song,
"You've got to put the ducky down, if you
want to play the saxophone" with Barbara Walters,
Henry Kissinger, etc...?

Would love you forever to see that one...

Not much on my mind lately. My life's been completely boring these days. I've just been hanging out not getting anything done. So it goes.

here is put down the duckie. enjoy

There are all sorts of Animal clips on YouTube. I think his battle with Buddy Rich is best:

Animal vs. Buddy Rich

thanks....animal vs. buddy rich is very funny...i had forgotten all about that one...

To Matthew and Kelly Re: Philip Glass-esque music. I have been driving myself insane for years to find that track. The closest I ever came was the album "The Philip Glass Ensemble - Einstein on the Beach" or "Dance Nos. 1-5". Check out http://www.philipglass.com/html/pages/glass-engine.html# and see if you can find it. There is a comment in the message boards of that site stating that the song has never been released. I refuse to believe that because it makes me sad.

THE MILK video!!!
http://gigababy.blogspot.com/2006/10/milk-milk-m-i-l-k.html

does anyone remember, or have, the clip where there were all these robots moving around, playing the piano, spelling out SESAME STREET, to the same classical tune that accompanied the "rocket clock' from Play School?

does anyone at least know the name of the song?

Looking for the video of 'two little girls' Can someone please post it in youtube? Thanks!

I think I found lots of funny sesame street video clips here.. but can I download it to my computer..?
I'll collect all for my one year daughter Darin..
