Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

[muppet maniac]

What I'd like to see on YouTube:

*More bits from past episodes (1969-late 90s)

*The Trading Game

*Out to Lunch special (now THAT would be a real treat)

*Julie on Sesame Street

*Jean Marsh/Grover Monster Cartoon Special

*Sesame Street Goes to Prison

*Don't Eat the Pictures (ENTIRE special)

*Put Down the Duckie (entire special)

*Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting

*Some Sesame PBS ads from old days (heard about them)

*Sesame Street 4-D Movie Magic (still waiting....)

Also, when Sesame Street aired on TV2 in Malaysia in the mid/late 90s, right before each episode started (every 9am on Saturday mornings), there was a short animated intro. It started with a fairy (or butterfly?) coming to the screen, and it cuts to Big Bird (doesn't look exactly the same because he doesnt have any feathers on the top of his head and his legs were brown. He kinda looks like the Big Bird from Family Guy---except he didn't act mean or anything like he did to Meg in that episode LOL) walking down a grassland (remember that there were bulding blocks, letters, numbers and whatnot there...my memory's fuzzy on that part. Anyway, as Big Bird keeps walking, Ernie (also poorly drawn) comes up from the left side of the screen and goes back down, and then Grover (lip wasn't colored in. It was white) comes up from the right side and then goes back down. Then, it dissolves to a shot of a red background and there's Big Bird sliding up from the bottom of the screen and smiling at us, and then the episode starts...

That stuff I would like to see also. I am also waiting for the song "You Say Hola" with Maria and Luis if anybody out there has it.

Okay- hold up.

"Sesame Street Goes to Prison"

!!!!!!!

Surely that's a joke, right? Is there seriously a special called that?
LOL- that just sounds hilarious.

Nope there is such a special, it doesn't even contain muppets, all it contains is the jail mates, the only muppet bit in the special is the prinosers watching Chrissy & The Alphabeats "Exit" song on a television. But no, its not a joke at all. Sadly.

I don't pay much attention to the exact individual links, but I've found the Baker film for Nine at You Tube, and now nine out of ten baker films are available at You Tube (the rare number one segment is still missing).

Today I found two really great videos:

Oscar and Bob sing "Rain Falls", explaining the reasons why they both like the rain:

Ernie shows Bert his "A" Machine that he invented:

That stuff I would like to see also. I am also waiting for the song "You Say Hola" with Maria and Luis if anybody out there has it.

Which song is that? I remember two ditties that the duo sang that might fit the bill.

One song has a refrain that went:
"No matter what your language, no matter what your name
The things that you're saying can be, the same!"
The rest of the song was "I say ____, that means ____!"
e.g., "I say 'adios'", that means 'good-bye'"

For the other song, I remember the melody well but few of the lyrics. One phrase had Maria saying "Don't squash that bug on the rug" preceded by the Spanish equivalent. The last line went "<something-something> amigos, means that's all for now friends, good-bye."

The Elves and the Shoemaker... another special report covered by Kermit the Frog. The user who put this up says it's from 1976. Actually I'm pretty sure it's from 1979, according to Muppet Wiki. That's when Marylin Sokol did more performing on the show, I imagine. (They could've just used Fran Brill to play the shoemaker's wife!) Also, the announcer at the beginning sounds quite different... almost like Herry Monster! Did Jerry Nelson have a cold or something?

I also love the animation style here. The caterpillar's voice is also really good, it matches with the animation. However, I found it weird how the caterpillar changes into the chrysalis with its head near the top of the branch. I have seen caterpillars morph into chrysalides in real life, and they hand UPSIDE-DOWN headfirst and then molt their old skin. But the echo effect for the caterpillar/chrysalis's voice was a very nice touch. The butterfly's animation was also very realistic. I love how she says, "I've turned into a butterfly. Bye!" That was a really good way of showing a butterfly caterpillar's life cycle... I wonder if Sesame Street will do something about moths?
