Okay, I know what you're thinking...

I know that the classic SS animation/song "That's About the Size Of It" was never seen on the Noggin version of the popular episode where Mr. Hooper died, but I remember seeing it on the original broadcast version of "Death of Mr. Hooper" episode at the Museum of Radio & Television. When it's on Noggin, it's seen only on #2208, but it's disappeared off Noggin as Sesame Unpaved got off Noggin.

When I was little when I was born in 1987, I never thought of what the animation was where it starts with a sun rising behind the mountains as the song was played. Then I listened to this song on Muppet Central Radio on audio only. Now, as I watched the original broadcast version of "Death of Mr. Hooper" at the Museum Of Radio & Television, the animation I watched as a kid has the song. I'm happy that the confused and hard-memory animation I watched in my youth was "That's About the Size of It". This animation also features an ant then the screen grows so it can show us people, cities and the solar system. It was very old-fashioned and they've created it like in the early '70's, and it was seen in the 80's episodes.

I believe the "That's About the Size" song was not on the Noggin version of the Death of Mr. Hooper, but on the episode from 1986 where Uncle Wally Returns on Noggin, but do YOU think the song was seen on the original broadcast version of the Death of Mr. Hooper episode?

It was a wonderful song. Someone actually thought that it was sung by Burl Ives, and that it was not originally a Sesame Street song, but I know that it was. It was last used in Season 25 (1994), show #3257. It was killed in September of 2000. You probably wouldn't like this, and I wouldn't either, but they could do a paper-mation remake of it. (Do you know what I mean by paper-mation??)
