Sam and Friends BookDoes anyone remember the D song? I found
it the other day on the Sesame Street
Lyrics Archive. This was a very weird
song (some apparently have found it
spooky) or rather the animation that
went in it.
It starts basically so:
D! D! D! D!
Daddy dear, oh daddy dear,
Do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears?
Do dragons dance? Why do gophers dig holes?
Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes?
D! D! D! D!
You get the flavor, does anyone else have
memories of what pictures were displayed?
Here are the ones I remember: "dandelions
roaring" - dandelions with lion faces",
"daisies have feet/dasies drank the water"
-daisies with cutesy faces, feet, and
eventually in a glass; "dogs dream of meat
and their dreams and their dreams are
delicious" - a dog in bed eating meat (?
I remembered it as being diamonds! Maybe
I confused it with the stars?) in its
sleep; "Little dolly, go to sleep" - an
old-fashioned doll closing its eyes; the
entire animation had a sort of Victorian
flavor. What other images were there?
Despite the weirdness of it all, the song
was quite nice. I remember fantasizing
about it in class once, probably early in
Grade 6 (I had watched a lot of TV during
the summer and while I no longer watched
Sesame regularly, may have seen the
animation again.) Does anyone remember if
there was a big sunflower and/or a harvest
scene in the animation, maybe decorating
a big D at the begining?

And yeah, you're thinkin' of the stars in the sky when the dog eats his meaty dream. And yep, there was a big ol' sunflower on the "D" in the beginning.
