Whoa . . .

Mmm, mmm, vintage Sesame Street's great, isn't it strange that my kids are never going to have to go scrounging for their childhood? It's been documented on Wikipedia since they were 12, on the 'Net since they were 6. If the Internet had been around when I was six, I wouldn't have this much trouble finding Big Blue Marble, now would I -

- What was that? -

*rewind*

I have sisters one, two, three,
In my family there's just me,
I've got one daddy,
I've got two,
Grandpa helps me cross the street,
My cat walks on furry feet,
I love my parakeet,
My name is you.

*scratches head*

This came out in - 1982, it looks like, from the lyrics copyright. Does anyone remember anyone complaining about it? Did that just fly under everyone's radar?

Sesame Street is the most subversive show ever, man.

*wanders off to listen to "Twee Vaders"*

I loved that song (still do), but I never got the underlying message until very recently.

Do you have the Sesame Street DVDs or are you youtubing? I really want to find the episode(s) with the short that shows making crayons. The song from that is just amazing and when I was little, the girl in the beginning reminded me of me. :-P

YouTubing, mostly, although there's a site I posted back on the fourteenth that has links to audio-files for a lot of old Sesame Street stuff.
