I do know the space one that Janice & Mokey's Man is talking about, and I remember this other one that practically no one remembers:
It starts off with a woman on a horse singing a country version of the traditional Alphabet Song, and at the end she sings:
d` The country is the place for me...
I actually get the impression that Sesame Street stopped doing record albums before most people in the music industry did. From what I understand, they actually stopped making records in the 80s. Most people stopped making them in the late 80s-early 90s. I have been curious to why they stopped...
Well, Sesame Street sure has stopped using old clips pretty much, but occasionally, they will throw in an old Bert & Ernie skit. Here are the ones they have used last season:
Ernie brings home a puppy.
"Dance Myself to Sleep"
"I Don't Want To Live On The Moon"
Ernie teaches his...
I have seen the skits about the number 5, and the one about the mystery box on Plaza Sesamo, but I have never seen them in English, so I would never have known what they were about. Can someone tell me how they went?
I wouldn't exactly say that's true. I have this old album called "The Stars Come Out On Sesame Street," which has many songs by celebrities and muppets. Johnny Cash did a song called "Nasty Dan" with Oscar, Grover performed with Madeline Kahn and Lena Horne, and I know that Biff did something...
One thing I was told was that Sesame English is actually a replacement for Elmo's World, and they actually have a whole bunch of old clips. And as I understand, the songs are actually in English. So I guess they actually don't believe in Elmo's World! I mean, you'd be surprised how many old...
Was "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked A Cake" ever on the show? And also, can someone tell me what "Handful of Crumbs" was like? I've heard the song, but I've never seen the segment.
The Salesman
I think what was scary about the salesman was, he and Ernie, or whoever he was with, would be talking very quietly. And then, out of nowhere, Ernie would say something loud, and he'd be like, "SHSHSHSHSHSH!!!!!!!" In a few of them, Ernie actually got scared to death.
I like any of those parodies done by musical artists. Such as:
"Whenever I See Your Grouchy Face" / James Taylor
"Don't Take Your 1's To Town" / Johnny Cash
"Two Princes (Co-Operation)" / Spin Doctors
"Furry, Happy Monsters" / R.E.M.
"Pride" / Goo Goo Dolls
"No Letter Is Better Than The...
There are a few that were left out:
"The Ballad Of Casey McPhee"
"If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked A Cake" (Was that ever on the show?)
"Birthday Cookie"
"Cookie Eats Guy Smiley in Bakery"
"Up And Down" with him and Herry
He does an experiment on what cookie shape tests best...
Re: Dr. Nobel Brice
I've seen it on Plaza Sésamo. I actually haven't seen much of him at all. I have seen that one, and the one where he invented foot snuggies (socks). The only ones I have seen on Noggin were a bit unusual, as I understand.
There's one where he tries to invent a rain-making...
So now I know how the new version goes. And from that, as usually, I liked the old one better! And I notice that what Elmo said is the opposite of what Henry said.
And there was something on the regular Sesame Street series, an animation called "1 to 5 Animals At Zoo Counting Song," which...
Scooter, (since you know so much) was that song you're talking about originally part of a street plot? Because if it was, they did continue to use it as in insert. I think they used to do that quite often.
Actually, I think those were done by Frank Oz. That was right before he left the show. Anything after that was either David Rudman, or Eric Jacobson. But these segments you are talking about were with Frank Oz.
One of my favorite Sesame Street Christmas moments, I don't think it was ever on the show, it was on the album Merry Christmas. They did a Sesame Street version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Here's how it went:
Snuffle-upagus: 12, uh... 12, uh... I can't remember. Ohhhhhhh, deeeeeaaar...
