Hi one and all...well done to everyone who's contibuted to such an amzing site dedicated to all which is Muppet; past, present and future.

I've been singing the "...1, 2, 3, 4, 5...6, 7, 8, 9, 10...11, 12 ..." and he thinks I've gone bananas and doesn't believe it exists. Here in London, we haven't got Sesame Street being aired on any channels so I was wondering if someone out there would be kind enough to send me the song so we can sing it to our hearts content.

Many thanks,
Stevie Thomas.

I'm assuming your talking about the Pinball Song.Glad to see you here at MC.

Here's one version of it:
Ooooooh - Ahhh!

(A hand pulls the pinball release lever back, and away it goes!

The ball rolls out and bounces off four thingys that light up before landing in the middle of a larger thingy, its lights flash

As a clock-like diagram with a pointer swings and lights up each number, we hear ...)

One-two-three
Four-five
Six-seven-eight
Nine-ten
Eleven-twelve!

(As the ball now rolls up and down on a roller-coaster like slide and lands into another thingy, this one looking like a water-fountain, and it lights up, we hear ...)

Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
DOOOT!

(As a kaleidoscope of colours spins, the numbers appear one by one)

One-two-three
Four-five
Six-seven-eight
Nine-ten
Eleven-twelve!

(The ball drops onto a twisted slide, slides downwards then bumps off three more thingys that light up, the last one bouncing it into a hole where a number appears above it)

Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
Dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo-dooo
Seven!

(As a xylophone is played haphazardly, the following images appear:

The ball falls onto a Taj Mahal-looking structure, rolling under it to appear again as a snake's tail pushes it out from under a snake charmer

The ball now rolls under a Sphinx-like creature seated on a box, the creature turns its head to look as the ball appears behind him

The ball rolls into a pyramid, causing the top, an eye (look at your American dollar bills for an example), to pop-up as a horn sounds and the number 7 is shown as the voice says "Seven!"

The ball leaves the pyramid from the top, as the eye lifts again, and now rolls and bumps off two thingys that look like the top of Russian buildings, where it is kicked by a Russian dancer

We see a Swiss-like mountain climber standing atop a tiny mountain with a long horn in his mouth, he swings to the right in time to collect the ball in his horn, we flash to the number 7 again as the voice says "Seven!" then the climber swings to the left as he blows the ball loose

The ball lands on a bull in a ring, bounces off him and hits a matador holding out a red cape, causing the matador to swing wildly thus sending the ball off to ...

A windmill with its sails turning, a hole in its base which the ball attempts to go through but it bounces off one of the sails ...

Now it knocks over a flat policeman character and rolls into a sentry box which makes two guards pop out of their holes on either side of the box (the guards are dressed like the ones you see in front of Buckingham Palace). We again see the number 7 as the voice says "Seven!"

Now the ball lands on the same roller-coaster slide we saw in the beginning, bounces off a couple of thingys that light-up, rolls down a ramp which leads to a big production number graphic.

As the numbers appear in the middle of this structure, we see shooting-gallery type ducks drifting by on a lake in the upper right corner, a sun above them, a city-scape at night with floodlights lighting the sky in the upper left corner, a night sky with stars and a planet (looks like Saturn with a ring) in the lower-right corner and a daytime sky with clouds in the lower left corner. A zeppelin can be seen crossing from the daytime scene to the nighttime scene in the lower part.)

One-two-three
Four-five
Six-seven-eight
Nine-ten
Eleven-tweeeeeeelve!

I kinda wondered how that last 12 would look spelled out. Excellent job, Dee. And welcome to Muppet Central, Bunson's Bandit.

Oh. And here I thought you had some sort of mega-ultra-awesome memory. Geez. Of course, I'm only kidding. A wise person doesn't necessarily know all the answers...they just know where to find them. Of course, you know a heck of a lot of stuff anyway. There's just no keeping up with you!

I remember that bit very well. There's no way I could have described it in any detail, but I can picture it all vividly. I think they played it a lot back in the day.

Oh, I love that one!

It's also known as "Pinball Number Count".

 

[The Count]

Just adding a few tidbits. It's been pointed out that The Pointer Sisters were the ones who sang/recorded the vocals to the Pinball Number Count segments. Also, there's something missing from the standard intro opening as the example provided by JFS demonstrates. And this is from back from my sighted days... When we saw the pinball roll into the hole with the nujmber above it, just before starting the individualized pinball journey... The number was yellow and in the center of a dark blue circular disc. It also had a matching number of stars either next to it or around it in some sort of geometric design. For example, for the #6 Pinball Number Count, you saw a yellow 6 surrounded by six yellow stars in a hexagonal formation around the number itself.
Hope this helps and have a good day.
