    Unaltered songs

    Carpenters question SesameMike or ISNorden - Could either of you give some more details about the Carpenters' appearance on Sesame Street? Did it take place on "the street" or some other location? Was it just the Carpenters, or were they singing with the characters? Did they just sing "Sing,"...

    Two nature films

    Hi- Just wanted to confirm that I remember these two films as well. Both were very nice - here are the lyrics to "Look around" as best as I can recall: Look around, look around, how you grow, days to learn, years to know. Look around, look around - do you see? Time is turning, quietly. Look...

    Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow

    Yes, that's a great song. I remember Judy was sitting down with the kids on the beach & they were singing it with the waves breaking in the background. Does anyone happen to have it? I'd love to see that clip again! You can find the song on the old "The Stars come out on Sesame Street" album...

    The Pink Panther Clip

    Interestingly, the Pink Panther and other cartoon characters have made cameos on the show without any mention of copyright - I would assume that this is done just as a favor to Sesame Workshop, and also for the chance to promote the characters on a different show. Some old-timers may...

    Oscar's Fix it Shop Tunnell

    Hi - The rumor is true. I remember the episode where Oscar first appeared in the Fix-it-Shop that way. We see Maria and Luis working in the shop, when suddenly they hear noises coming from a large round trash bin in the shop. When Oscar appears in the can, they say "Oscar!" Oscar replies, "Who...

    The Weaverbird song

    Hi- I do remember the "Build, little weaverbird" song! I'd love to hear it again. I don't remember the "Up, Up and away" skit, but my brother says he does remember at least one moment. At one point, a boy and girl muppet are riding together in the balloon, when it suddenly "pops" and the...

    The Adults Meet Mr. Snuffleupagus

    It's a great episode (2096),and it thankfully was included in the "Unpaved" series. Mr. Hooper had passed away by this time, but virtually every other grownup on the street at the time was there. It's hard to describe the moment. Essentially, the human cast is shown staring in awe and wonder...

    Ernie's Hits and other Classics

    I would keep your eye on eBay, but you might also want to check out sites that offer old records for sale. Gemm.com is one that I've had luck with. "Tiger Hunt" is a fun track, and it first appeared on an album called "Havin' Fun with Ernie and Bert". Also, "Tiger Hunt" was included on a...

    Carol Burnett Clip(s)

    Hi- You described it perfectly, that's pretty much exactly how the clip went. I can recall seeing it in the late 70's on the show as well. I am pretty sure that that clip is also on one of the "Unpaved" episodes, but I don't know which one. Can anyone confirm that? I do know that Carol also...

    Humans returning for a guest appearance

    I think that's a cool idea- It's something that would appeal mostly to us "old-timers," since most youngsters wouldn't know who Olivia was. But it's something that they should consider for the next "anniversary" show, when they want to go back into Sesame history. It might also give them the...

    Were any of these songs/skits ever shown on TV?

    Hi - Yes "Do you like me" and "But I like you" are two seperate songs, although obviously they are easy to get mixed up. Both songs take place in Ernie & Bert's room at night as Bert is trying to get to sleep. However, "But I like you" ends with E&B out of bed singing side by side. "Do you like...

    A question for Xeurus about Telly and Mr. Hooper

    As far as I know, it was only one episode as the "Television monster." There may have been more, but I didn't see them. The second time I remember seeing Telly was his "second debut" when the Fix-It-Shop was redone. By this time, his TV addiction was gone and he was pretty much the character we...

    A question for Xeurus about Telly and Mr. Hooper

    There was definitely a gap in time between Telly's first appearance and his later appearance at the reopening of the Fix-It-Shop. He didn't appear in many (if any) segments in between. But I'm not sure if there was a "season break" during that period - It may have been all in the same season...

    A question for Xeurus about Telly and Mr. Hooper

    I happened to be watching the day that Telly Monster made his very first appearance on the show, and the first person he spoke to was Mr. Hooper! He was not the character we know today. The "Telly" name came from his obsession with television. His eyes, if I recall correctly, were also...

    All Female Jug Band on Sesame Street

    Yes, I remember them! They did at least two other segments besides the stick figure dance number. One was another song called "Keep on the sunny side," performed in the "tire swing" area beside 123. The other was actually a film segment! From what I recall, it began with the trio moving to the...

    Rodeo Rosie

    Hi - nice nickname! :) I can recall at least two other Rodeo Rosie skits. One involved Rosie trying to lasso people who were coming out of Hooper's Store for some reason. The other was an interesting "imagination" skit with Grover and Rodeo Rosie. The pair were sitting next to the steps at...

    "Hush Little Baby"

    The Pointer Sisters are a good guess, since they did appear "in person" on the show at least twice. In both cases, they were singing together on a set with what may have been a large disco ball. I don't think the background was purple-ish, though. I recall it being brighter. Anyway, they...

    Questions we may never know the answer

    Hi- I know the answer to at least one of these! There was indeed a series of shows that dealt with the construction of the new fix-it shop. It was in the early 1980s. This series was a little bit historic in that this is where Telly Monster became a much more prominent member of the cast. He had...

    1969-1980? Help!

    Hi allnamesrtaken- You've got quite a puzzler there. I can't I.D. the exact album for you, but here are some possibilities of what you may be thinking of: 1. The Sesame Street Fairy Tale Album: Grover tells a story in this one. ("Princess and the Pea") There are no witches, however. 2...

    Trying to find an old song for my wedding

    I know the music! I think I know the name of the music. It is part of the "Concerto in D for guitar and strings" by the composer Vivaldi, who also wrote "The Four Seasons." It is the second movement, I believe. This is from the film with close up shots of the yellow flower. The flower didn't...
