I have my own message for you Sesame Street skit-lovers.

As I remembered the pinball machine cartoon, here is the music and the scenes of the pinball series.

I have #6 on video. The music off-screen is the saxaphone and the scene is the farmland.

I only listened to #4 on audio on any Fridays after school and before I go out. The music off-screen is the steel drum.

As I listened to #3 on audio only, the music is the electric guitar.

On #12, the music is the steel drum.

I remembered watching #11 as a kid. I think the music off-screen is the saxaphone and the scene is the zoo.

Do you know what scenes and music of the rest of the pinball series are? Please let me know!

#7: scene = traveling around the world

#9: scene = baseball, music = steel drum

Hey! Ingeborg Norden (you know, the SS fan who transcribed the alphabet jungle cartoon, an animated segment with the alphabet bully, I Think That It Is Wonderful, The Chicken Or the Egg, etc.) recalls that the scene of the #10 version was the medieval scene-the time where knights fight against dragons.

Sorry, have no new details...

I just love the Pinball count cartoon.

LOVE it.

It's one of the best of the toons, and EVERYONE remembers it.

What was 1?

I remember one with airplanes (WW 1 Style), but I can't seem to recall what it was.

11 and 8 (?) were on this season!

I used to REALLY love this, until I got scared of it!

I've got a couple of questions.

What was the music of #1?

What was the scene of #3?

What was the scene of #4?

What was the scene and the music of #5?

What was the music of #7?

What was the scene and the music of #8?

What was the music of #10?

AND...

What was the scene of #12?

If you know these questions, please let me know!

Did they even do one for #1?

I actually noticed that every version has been on noggin, except #8, which is kinda funny, because it was just used last season!

Okay, it had the electric guitar music, and I believe it took place in the jungle. And also, I will always remember at the end, before they go back to the usual ending, there's that robot-opera voice that sings, "Eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"

You got it! The music is the electric guitar (just like in #3!) and the scene is the jungle! You're the best, ssetta!

Now, speaking of 3,

What WAS the scene of it?
