I have always loved that tune. Didn't know it was the Pointer Sister 'til a year ago.

YES! The twelve song! I love it.
You should hear my heavy metal version of that. I used to play it with my old band a few years back (okay, more than a few, 15 maybe). I may just have to see if I can remember the whole arrangement and do a little recording now. Anyway, the original still rocks, and Sesame Street is still cool. It ain't no used-to-be. _____________________

Great link Fmeh!
But... let us not forget the classic "Conjunction Junction" from School House Rock. Now that is just the apex of learning.  _____________________

Thank you so much for posting the link to those videos. I haven't seen them in 25 years, yet I still remember the chorus of each of them.

I've never seen this long version of the 12-pinball vid. Since it's the Pointer Sisters doing it, must be a later version.

 I blame The Electric Company for my enjoyment of reading!!! It's all their fault that I'm Literate!!!! Damn You too PBS!!!!!!!!!! Now who remembers the Mail Lady from Sesame Street? I still remember when they'd show the "word of the day" or whatever it was called & I'd be screaming "HEY MOM!!!! C'mere!!!! What's this word??" |

Seeing this thread reminded me to search YouTube for my all time fave vintage Sesame Street segment, the lost kid and the yo-yo dude....

Classic Sesame Street - Roosevelt Franklin teaches about Africa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOP0U03BdSg ohhh, just -watch- it!! ))p.s. awwwww!!! and though this is all too short, watch this too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm98ZJXN5DE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosevelt_Franklin "Franklin often speaks in rhyme or scat style and he is fond of misbehaving and making mischief in school, though he also appears to be highly creative and intelligent beyond the classroom material presented to him. While most of the Muppet students in his class are unruly and throwing paper about, Franklin tends to use his wit and hyperactive creativity to antagonize his teacher. In one sketch, Franklin is asked to draw a rectangle on the television screen. He quickly sketches one and adds three circles inside of it to create a traffic light. Sensing that his teacher can't keep up with him, he has his drawing strobe psychedelic colors and then proceeds to draw doodles and graffiti around it." Matt Robinson (January 1, 1937 – August 5, 2002) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Robinson "He wrote and produced the films Save the Children and Amazing Grace in the early 1970s, and authored scripts for Sanford and Son and Eight Is Enough. In 1983, he joined the staff of the NBC's The Cosby Show as a producer and staff writer. By that time, he was beginning to show symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, but stayed with the show for seven seasons despite the difficulty, however, he ultimately succumbed to the disease on August 5, 2002 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 65." genious lives forever. be genious!! _____________________

I've never seen this long version of the 12-pinball vid. Since it's the Pointer Sisters doing it, must be a later version. There were several versions, Pointer Sisters did vocals for all of them. How about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_9yd5juEBw A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick o' buddah. _____________________
