Sesame Street Favorites

Since we had our daughter (who is now about 20 months old) we have been watching an awfuly lot of Sesame Street.


Big Bird and Elmo aside, it is a pretty good show. Now that I am older I can appreciate it on a completely different level and laugh at some of the absurdity and rock-out to the groovy songs. Here are some classic Sesame Street Clips from my era (and before).



enjoy!

Ladybug’s picnic
classic. I sing this song all the time to Alex and sometimes Cooper.



Jelly man Kelly
make sure to pay attention to James Taylor's wacky facial expressions.



Yip Yips
Your standard alien nonsense





Alligator King
This is a fun song! It is catchy, and also teaches children to check to see whether fruit might be precious gemstones before eating them.




Layin' eggs around the clock
the best part is watching the farmer wife while the farmer is singing. and the end.

Dance Myself to Sleep (Bert and Ernie)
This is another time you can watch what the puppets in the background are doing and it is much more funny. Instead of watching Ernie, watch Bert.
Man! What a terrible roomate!

i have been watching "the street" since the 70's. this has caused particular concern and dissention amongst my various college roommates. but, in the interest of getting along, i stopped wearing my oscar the grouch underoos while watching. cooperation - thats one of the skills you learn if you pay close enough attention.

I learned it is especially important if you share a body with another head.

ha! you two!
i learn, as tim illustrates with his use of videos, how important it is to be a good roommate. Tim and I really learn a lot from bert and ernie. they have such a solid relationship. Paulie, i bet your wife adores those grouch underoos!
