"I can't hear you -- I have a banana in my ear!"

[larryhammer]

I have a feeling this metric truck-load list of Sesame Street video clips won't last long. But while they do, indulge your childhood memories.

One of my favorites was the aliens with a guidebook meet a telephone. "Nope nope nope nope book book book." But did you know they later met a computer? And then there's A-B-C-D-E-F-Cookie Monster. Also: R.E.M. sings "Furry Happy Monsters", Johnny Cash sings "Don't Take Your Ones to Town", and Cookie discos.

ETA: Oscar sings his version of "It's Not Easy, Being Green."

Oh my. I hope those stay around long enough for me to get home and watch them, thanks!

The phone one was my favorite. *phoooooone, yupyupyupyupyupyup*

You made my day.

[larryhammer]

Yes, but can you avoid being earwormed by "C is for Cookie and That's Good Enough for Me"?

If the alternative is "But I don't understand why the numbers went up in 4th quarter, how did this happen?" as an earworm, then yes, bring on the cookies.

[larryhammer]

That would be a bad earworm, yes. Ow.

Here, have Cookie singing Making Cookie. A parody I don't know how they got on children's television.

You're the best.

[larryhammer]

No, Rubber Duckie is the best. Or at least, the one.

Very helpful. I'll study it for future performances. My "Ernie" has taken on a bit too much "Kermit" of late.

[larryhammer]

I can see that happening.

The noises coming from our house are indescribable, but happy. Why don't they put these up on karaoke nights, huh?

[larryhammer]

Because drunked karaoke singers want songs they remember from drunken college parties?

Not an ear worm! That is my very favorite one! I still sing it at random and I don't care who looks at me as I do it...(depositing said earworms as she goes...)

Pure happiness. Thanks!

Happiness is a "Mahna Mahna" video.

Wonderful to come home to after a rough day at school. Another thank you from here!

[larryhammer]

Yes, but does it make you as happy as Guy Smilie?

I don't see Big Bird's alphabet song listed. "Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz! It's the longest word I've ever seen..." He doesn't spell out the alphabet, he pronounces it, and since I heard that song, so do I.

[larryhammer]

!!

I don't know that one. And clearly I should. From the description, that's got to be up there with "A-B-C-D-E-F-Cookie Monster."
