I'm going to say that my most favorite of all time is Put Down the Duckie with Hoots the Owl and Ernie. I like the original, but the extended version is the best.

Bump.

(muttering) I hope I don't get in trouble, just because I am doing this.

OH! Hi there! I understand that bumping threads cannot be good, but I finally found this Sesame Street song called, "It's Alive". Yeah I get it Muppet fans. I am a classic Sesame Street person, but what the heck... watch the clip and I hope you will like it.

Too many. Anything Joe Raposo wrote was worth its weight in gold. All the animal films he scored, Roosevelt Franklin, the end is listless.

But one track from 1970 that's held my grip for all these years- "Someday Little Children". Susan sang it on the second Sesame LP, and once or twice on the show. I loved the arrangement- horns, piano, fat bass and drums, and angelic harmonies. It was almost issuing a challenge. Someday there will be peace and love in the world, and if it's going to happen, it's up to little children like me (and generations after me). 45 years later, it's still up to me.
I'm trying my best to do my part. How about you?

Too many to name but here are a few of them. I would say that most of the parody songs are my favorite, especially when I know which song they are parodying. I don't remember watching any parody songs that may have went over my head as a kid.


1. Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco
2. Count it Higher
3. Doo Wop Hop
4. Ten Commandments of Health
5. Monster in the Mirror
6. Disco Cookie
7. Me Going to Munch You Munch You
8. Hip to be a Square (don't know what year/season its from.)
9. (I Can't Get No) Cooperation (love this because I'm a fan of the band being parodied, the Rolling Stones.)
10. Healthy Foods
11. C is for Cookie
12. I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
13. I Love Trash
14. Do De Rubber Duck
15. Doin the Pigeon
16. Letter B
17. Hey Food
18. Get Along (I found it really funny when Kermit said he was going batty. Also the song being parodied was written by my father.)
19. The Batty Bat
20. Your Grouchy Face (James Taylor and Oscar the Grouch)
