    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Yeah, probably. Even when all they do is add these little musical riffs and sound effects to it, it still kind of bothers me.

    Do the Wash

    Nope, don't know what you're talking about, although the title reminds me of a song on an old LP from back when Gordon had hair. Yes, on top of his head. But this song seemed to be about washing yourself, rather than clothes.

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Let's see... yeah, now that I think of it, his teaching motif seemed to be shapes. ("What is this?" "Oh ho! A square!" "How many sides does a square have?" "Mmm, four, mmm!" "What is a square good for?" "Good for? These things are great! *eats the square* I eat four square meals every day!")...

    Man, what all did I have?

    Yes! That was the one, now that I think about it!

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    It keeps changing, so I don't know if any of them qualify. Besides, I can usually chase it out with other music. :)

    I've Been Thinking...

    Heh, Chocolate Factory. We have a cat that we took in during a hurricane. He's light gray with darker stripes. We also have a dog, one of the 7 daughters (8 puppies total) of a dog that got away from a neighbor. Outside, our dog will go up to the cat and sniff him from head to tail (or tail to...

    Man, what all did I have?

    Well, there was a "camera" thing you plugged a specialized cassette into, and when you turned the crank, the pictures became animated. The one I had was "The 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 Penny Candy Man". I had a book/45 set called "Anybody Can Play". Bert's bored, I guess, but Ernie gets him into playing...

    Which Meant More to Bert?

    Slightly tangential, but was it "Figgy Fizz" or "Fizzy Fizz"? I hope it was the former, as the idea of a fig-flavored carbonated beverage is intriguing to me, but it wouldn't break my heart if I were wrong.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Hmm. Let's see if I can conjure up some memories, here. Well, there was the girl that puts things in a jar which make her laugh. Animation. Same quality of animation, the whole of "Know Your Carrot", or something like that. "And DO remember: redheads are called 'carrot-tops' although carrot...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yeah, I was browsing last night, and both the ones you quoted were there. :) Oh! Oh! There's the one where there are these two guys, maybe they're arguing or something, but then, Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" comes in, and we tilt up this monolithic white stone, and when it reaches the...

    Somebody Help!!! Looking For A Muppet!

    Well, I'm not into it as much as some here, but might he have been an Anything Person? Maybe in one of those "Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood" bits?

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I think that goes: "I have a mind, and my mind helps me / with everything I do, or (a couple of balls fall, then another) see! (a final one falls)" The operatic orange was definitely odd. I remember thinking she was singing "la moo" (hey, I still haven't seen "Carmen"), but now I know better...

    Favorite Characters Then and Now

    Man... you know, I don't remember who my favorite was back then... I'm not a big fan; it's really more nostalgia for the show and remembering elements of it... Rosita, maybe? She's got the Español thing going for her, I guess.

    English, Please?

    All right, since we're asking for translations... I remember one of those "real life" bits, and there was a group singing a zydeco-style song in Creole French, and there were kids dancing and stuff. And I think it ended with everyone saying "Au Revoir! /oh vwah/" Anybody know what they were...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hey! Yet another new person, yet not entirely new to the world of Muppets; I was watching Sesame Street when I was a young'un in the 80s, and watched for a while in more recent times to see what sorts of things today's youth (Man, I sound like an old fogey and I'm not even 30 yet! :D ) are...
