Music Videos

[robinthefrog]

Does anyone remember that music video that Kermit did on Sesame Street called 'Hop!'? It had two cows singing and dogs jumping in the air towards the end of the video. It was a great song and I've managed to find a low quality mp3 of it on the net but I would really love to find both the song and the video either on dvd or cd. Its one of my favourite songs on Sesame Street. The lyrics are:

I don’t know how to fly (My, my!)
High up in the sky (High, high!)
A frog is what I am (Yes, ma’am!)
I’m happy as a clam (Flimflam!)
‘Cause there’s one thing I can do! (Doo-hoo!)
Come on and do it too! (Too-hoo!)

Come on!
It’s neat!
Don’t need
Webbed feet!

Do-wop do-wop! HOP!
Do-wop do-wop! DON'T STOP! (Don’t stop!)
Do-wop do-wop! HOP!
Do-wop do-wop! DON’T STOP! (Don’t stop!)

I don’t know how to bark (Bow wow!)
Or sing just like a lark (Hoo-hoo!)
I can't moo just like a cow (How now?)
‘Cause frogs just don’t know how (Wow-wow!)
But there’s one thing I can do! (Doo-woo!)
And you can do it too! (Too-woo!)

Come on!
It’s keen!
Don’t need
To be green!

Do-wop do-wop! HOP!
Do-wop do-wop! DON’T STOP! (Don’t stop!)
(yeah yeah yeah)

I can’t swing up a tree (So sad!)
I’m not a chimpanzee (Too bad!)
Since I was a pollywog (Young tad!)
Been proud to be a frog (Good lad!)
‘Cause there’s one thing I can do! (Doo-woo!)
Come on and do it too! (Too-woo!)

There’s nothing
Hipper!
Get down on
One flipper ...

And do-wop do-wop! HOP!
Do-wop do-wop! DON’T STOP! (Don’t stop!)
Do-wop do-wop! HOP!
Do-wop do-wop! DON’T STOP! (Don’t stop!)

This song was included in two videos, Count It Higher: Great Music Videos From Sesame Street (also available on DVD) and The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street. However, the song listings on the back of the video boxes lists the song as Do Op Hop. Also, in Count It Higher: Great Music Videos From Sesame Street, The Count introduces the song as Do Wop Hop (that's also how the song is lsited on-screen).

This song was also included in Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Music Celebration, but it was an all-new version, sung by Jamal and the cast.

I always liked the song "do de rubber duck". That was my fav as a kid sadly its not on the SS songs from the street CD's.

Ernie: There's a brand new dance
And it's got a reggae beat
You do it in the bath
While you wash your hands and feet

Get in the tub
Hold your duckie in your lap
Tap your toes while you scrub
In the water from the tap

All: And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Ernie: Come on everybody try
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don't be left high and dry
(Yeah do de rubber duck!)
As you keep on getting wetter
(Do de rubber duck!)
You'll be feeling so much better
(Do de rubber duck!)
You'll be left without a care
(When you do de rubber duck!)
And you can even wash your hair
(While you do de rubber duck!)
It will have a healthy sheen
(If you do de rubber duck!)
Yeah you'll be squeaky clean
(When you do de rubber duck!)

All: And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Telly: Don't get soap in your eye
(When you do de rubber duck!)
'Cause that'll make you cry
(When you do de rubber duck!)

Oscar: Hey all you grouches sing
(Now do de rubber duck!)
Yeah make the bathtub ring
(Do de rubber duck!)

Ernie: Everybody knows
(How to do de rubber duck!)
Scrub your flippers and your toes
(Do de rubber duck!)

The Count: And while you wash away your troubles
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don't forget to count the bubbles
One, two, three, four!

All: Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Biff: All around the woild
(Dey do de rubber duck!)
Whenever folks get soiled
(Dey do de rubber duck!)

Guy Smiley: Watch 'em splishin' and a-splashin'
(Do de rubber duck!)
It's the very latest fashion!
(Do de rubber duck!)

Gladys the Cow: Take at least one bath a day
(Do de rubber duck!)
And you'll moooove those germs away
(Do de rubber duck!)

Hoots the Owl: Come and be a bathtime bopper!
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don't pull out the stopper!
(Do de rubber duck!)

All: Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

One more time!

And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck


OH yeah

I've always thought that 1 along with ernie's classic rubber duckie song was dumb but The Do The Rubber Duck certain has a nice melody to it.

The music video the for Do The Rubber Duck was awesome! I remember it well, even though I haven't seen it in so long:

Ernie is singing in the bathtub whilst Bert is listening to the noise through the bathroom door as it gets louder and louder with all the sesame street characters popping up from all over the place. Elmo head pops out from inside a clothesdryer (i think it was), characters heads are popping through the windows and each character sings their bit in the song of course (telly, guy smiley, oscar, etc.). Its a really rocky video because I think its a different version of the song, it's not so reggae, its more boppy. And towards the songs climax at the end at the repetition of the chorus, the whole room shakes! Its so cool!!

The music video of it is on that dvd 'Count It Higher' which im trying so hard to get my hands on a copy but to no success
