REBEL L!!! Please!!

I would LOVE to see this one again! It ROCKS!!! :stick_out_tongue: Requests of mine seem to have slowly but surely been added up (i.e. "Danger's No Stranger"). Nice to see some "forgotten" ones too (kaleidoscope clips and the perspective 'toon with reggae music that was added recently) I think that just leaves 3 big requests; the aforementioned "Rebel L", "The Letter N" by Nick Normal and the Nickmatics (if you post this, don't forget to put it up in its entirety - in other words include the "NTV" part, too, with Nora Nicks), and the Bellhop clip for # 8 (whoops, almost forgot - 40 Dots and the G for Gorilla cartoon w/the guy in the gorilla suit). I'm hoping in a couple days from now, my next visit to YouTube will be "brought to you by the letters L and N and the number 8!!" :big_grin:) I look forward to seeing these if anyone has 'em.

Looks good. Can I make a request? Do you happen to have the songs "You Say Hola" with Maria and Luis, "Frogs in the Glen", "I Wonder 'Bout the World Above", and "Everybodys Song" with Bip Bipodotta?

This News Flash is so cool! I love the low-budget special effects used here. It looks like they taped the Lavender Pinocchio Muppet to the cardboard wall and put a hole through the center of the puppet and put a broom through it with the handle colored lavender.

I think Frank Oz stole the show here with his Pinocchio. His lies are so FUNNY! Even funnier than Fozzie Bear! (No hard feelings, Fozzie :stick_out_tongue: ) Frank tends to steal the show with his characters on several Sesame Street skits, particuarly the News Flashes with Prince Charming, or that one with the Pied Piper.

However, it looks like the first minute of the skit had poor lighting. It looked pretty dark and shadowy. But then it gets brighter and easier to see. It also looks like this skit might be from between 1974 and 1979, rather than the SS Skit Database saying it's from 1972 (I KNEW there were some errors in that!)

Is that the "T for Toes" sketch? It sounds like it's voiced by the same guy and is similar to the others, except that only one t word (toes) is focused on for the clip, instead of a whole bunch of T words.
I know exactly what sketch that is. That narrator shows all the things you can do with toes and begins with the letter t (in a lower case letter). Well, the T for toes sketch isn't there any more. The other sketch T sketch is there but not the "T for toes" one. I wish someone put it back up there.

Rocky the Rockin' Crybaby...

I must say I was quite shocked to find this parodied a PUNK song (not saying it wasn't fun, it was quite fun, I'm just shocked) I mean I know SS has had their share of hard rock parodies (Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, ZZ Top, etc.) but it seemed like they generally shyed (sp?) away from punk. I remember this segment from when I was a kid and I thought it had a '60s-ish mid-era The Who/Rolling Stones sound like "Big Kids Cry" seems to have. I'm pretty sure "The Letter N" by Nick Normal and the Nickmatics sounded a bit like the Clash though I'm not entirely sure 'cuz I haven't heard it in awhile. Does anybody know if there were other segments on SS that referenced and/or parodied punk? If so, please say what they are and (if you can) post 'em on YouTube! Jeez if they can get by parodying "Blitzkrieg Bop" they could've done "I Wanna Count to 8" ("I Wanna Be Sedated") :stick_out_tongue:

THANK YOU GUYS FOR UPLOADING THESE GREAT CLIPS! Many of these I had totally forgotten about! If I may, I'd like to request a few...

1. Ernie & Bert – Ernie has a television set that only says a letter of the alphabet over and over and when Ernie turns off the tv, he pulls something out of it that starts with that letter. (I would almost give my right arm to see this one again!)
2. Animation skit about an acorn that falls off a tree…goes through the seasons I believe. Beautiful music.
3. A live action segment where a boy and girl loose their dog and they go to a printer who makes up signs for them to put up around the neighborhood (pre computer technology era).
4. Muppet skit: a song about babies and how they cry. There’s a muppet baby in a high chair that continually cries through the skit.
5. Live action sequence about city kids doing various things (playing outdoors). But towards the end they start showing a man who is shaving ice and making snow cones for the kids. (This is another skit I would REALLY like to see)
6. One of the animated segments with the hand that has a pencil and makes detailed drawings (including a bridge I believe).
