It's interesting... I had completely forgotten about these bits, which I now believe ran quite a bit back in my day... until I saw this thread, and that theme music popped right back into my head. In fact, that music is basically all I remember... that and, at the start, while the music played...
I remember two versions of that skit... the version on the show had Cookie Monster singing "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips" (just like the Ape in the animated "A" sketch)... but on the album Ernie's Hits (possibly because of royalty issues) he sings "Looky looky looky, here comes Cookie."
To get this back on topic, the show began its 30th season in 1998, so that's what they called their "30th anniversary" (common for TV shows) -- the actual 30th anniversary, of course, wouldn't be until the END of the 30th year, or the start of the 31st, in 1999.
I just heard the song, and my memory was a bit faulty... it's actually "I'll tell him where to LEAVE his toys." That SOUNDS a bit better, but in truth, it's just as bad. ;)
Does anyone know if the slowed-down harmonica version of the main theme that used to be played over the opening scene ever came out in the clear? IE, the master recording, either on an official release, or unofficially and on the trading circuit?
Sadly, I really have nothing to trade, but I've longed for ages to see Sesame Street Episode #1. If there's anyone out there that would do a deal for blank tape, CD's, etc, out of the goodness of their hearts, please email me.
Failing the first episode, other episodes from the first couple of...
Let's see... in no particular order:
"Some... and None"
"Telephone Rock"
"Imagination"
"The National Association of W Lovers"
"Pat Your Tummy"
"Capital I"
"Jazzy Spies"
"J Jump"
"Cookie" (Theme from Shaft spoof)
"Letter B"
"On the Subway"
"Rubber Duckie"
There were two songs in particular that I remember from Canadian Sesame Street. One was called "Des Heureux" (Clocks), and showed a bunch of still photos of clocks. The other I was thinking of was about bees, and the song went "Who goes from flower to flower... a bee, a bee, abeille... who works...
A line I'm surprised got through to begin with was in Oscar's song "I Hate Christmas" from "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street." (Referring to Santa:) "I'll tell him where to put his toys"
My favorite all-time sketch was the similar "Some... and None" starring Manah Manah... if anyone could point me in the direction of a copy, I'd be most appreciative.
First, I'll get out of the way that this is my first post.
Anyway, one SS sketch that creeped me out somewhat was the one where Bert and Ernie (I think) are having problems with their TV... it does nothing but show the letter "H", and a voice says "H...H...H...H...H" over and over again. That...
