Annoying Sesame Streets songs you remember...

[Longgrain]

Every now and then I get this little ditty caught in my head... sung in a gentle groovy seventies tone...

"Somebody come and play...

Somebody come play today...

Somebody come, to share a smile,

to sing a song,

It won't take long...

Somebody come and play...today."

And I can't for the life of me get it out!

Hypnotized by the Children's television Workshop I guess?

Anyone else?

[Liberal Veteran]

1. One of these things is not like the others,

One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!

[CornField]

2. Oh can't you see? There's a bird on me.

That's all the lyrics... repeated several times. There was short cinematograpy of a rhino coated with birds.

I think it scarred me.

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. I could do without that "Who is the____ in your neighborhood?"

song. Oh and "Sing, sing a song. Sing out loud...."

[TheMightyFavog]

33. Interesting trivia about that song....

The reason that the la la la la la bit is in the song is because the song's writer, Joe Raposo had a serious case of writer's block and couldn't think of anything else to fit tht bit of the song.

[hippiechick]

4. C is for COOKIE that's good enough for me !!!

:)


:hippie:

[Hans Delbrook]

32. I was baking cookies all w/e

And I couldn't help but sing that song to myself. (I used to sing it to my niece when she was 3 y.o.)
It gets really annoying about the 200,000th time it goes through your mind :D

[youthere]

5. Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon...

Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon
Dancin' a little smidgeon of the kind of ballet
that sweeps me away...

Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon
Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon
People may smile but I don't mind
They'll never understand the kind of fun I find
Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon
Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon
Doin' the brrrrt brrrrt pidgeon everyday.

7. the abc one Big Bird sang - "the longest word he's ever seen".

[Longgrain]

11. I think I remeber.

Something like this...

Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.

Pernouced-- Ab-de-fegul-jokl-mn-...some thing like that...

Would some one please tell me how do you say that word?

[fluffernutter]

13. yes! it was like: "ab key def gee checkle monop qur stewitsez"

it's the most remarkable work i've ever seen...

[Longgrain]

22. Maybe you remember the one with...

the guy dressed a a chief, who would carry a tray of pastries, and announce "Ten banana cream pies!"
He would then tumble down the stairs until he was covered in the gooey mess.

"400 fluffernutter sandwiches!" (I noticed. Congats!)

:toast:

[fluffernutter]

28. i do remember that guy!

aw. you noticed :* thank you.

[Longgrain]

29. Glad you noticed...

As if, I didn't just come out and tell you anyways...

Subtlety and innuendo is often a hard craft to master...


Look here, read the lyrics to my first post carefully

12. Not annoying: My all time favorite Sesame Street song

Rubber Duckie

Rubber ducky, you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you
Woo woo be doo

Rubber ducky, joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise
Rubber ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo

(Chorus)
Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby

Rub-a-dub-a-dubby!

Rubber ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you

(Chorus)

Rubber ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of -
Rubber ducky, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you

[fluffernutter]

14. gotta luv rubber duckie.

15. It Ain't Easy Being Green...by Kermie

[tuvor]

16. The song that did nothing but count to five.

Early 70s. Ahem:

<Rockin'>

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4...5!!!

<Softer>

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5

etc.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

17. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...11,12-do-do-do-do-do

the disco pinball counting song
i always founf the psychedelic, yellow submarine-esque animation creepy as a kid

also:
it's a long hard climb, but i'm gonna get there! (with the footage of the frog

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

19. That one is my favorite !

The one about the number 12 that is :)

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

21. YES! That counting to 12 song always got so stuck in my head! n/t

[tuvor]

18. 10! 10! 10! 10! Let's sing a song of 10!

How many is 10?

[DrWeird]

20. Not a song, but: "A!... B!... C!... D!... E!... F!... COOKIE MONSTER!"

Kermit the Frog with a little Asian girl. They'd even have a whole little graphic of Cookie Monster.

I got the sense that the girl and Henson ad libbed the whole sketch from the first time she said "Cookie Monster!"

My personal favorite from the whole show.

[Not_Giving_Up]

23. Not quite a song, but it had a beat...

A loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a stick of butter...

A loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a stick of butter...


All the way to the store. Why didn't the kid just make a list??

[vixengrl]

24. There was this "L" song Bert did...

Something like,
"la la la la lamppost...
la la la la lightbulb...
la la la la lumps...in my oatmeal!"

That one's probably fairly obscure. Sort of a "B-side."

[Danmel]

25. Not one I dislike, rather one I do like

I Love Trash, sung with Gusto by Oscar the Grouch


Words and Music by Jeffrey Moss
Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I've a clock that won't work
And an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own!
I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!



As to annoying, anything sung by Elmo.

[flamingyouth]

26. I always loved Oscar the Grouch

Although I called him Oxner when I was a kid. I don't remember his song, just that I really related to him, all grouchy and living in a garbage can like that.

[gollygee]

27. 1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9, 10 11 12, and the ladybugs danced at the ladybug

picnic . . .

I loved Sesame Street :D

[hippiechick]

40. That song ROCKED !!

Alot of their songs were cool ~ that was one of the things I enjoyed about having a toddler; I could sing Sesame Street songs without feeling like a moron.

O8)


:hippie:

[tjdee]

30. ME LOST ME COOKIE AT THE DISCO.....

Yes, I'm shouting it.

The song sounds better if you shout it.

Disco Cookie Monster is the pinnacle of muppetry entertainment.


Me lost me cookie at the disco
Me lost me cookie in the boogie music
Me lost me cookie at the disco
Me want it back
Me want it back again

Where's my cookieeeeeeeee

Help me find my cookie......Please!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

34. I remember that song too.

That's a good one. :)

[Gothic Sponge]

31. All of them

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

35. I don't think the sesame street songs are annoying. I like them.

I watch the show almost everyday with my two year old son. It's still a geat program.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

36. Some more song titles

Boogie Woogie Sheep
Put down the duckie
If I could visit the moon
Honker, duckie, dinker jamboree
Rebel L
Letter B
Clucky Chicken (sung by Elmo with some chickens in his dream)
It's hip to be a Square

[arwalden]

37. While Lookin' At My Feet And A Crack In The Sidewalk...

... an old tin can by the side of the road...
... I nearly missed a rainbow.
... I nearly missed a sunset.
... I nearly missed a shootin' star goin' byyyy!

[arwalden]

38. ABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZ...It's The Most Remarkable Word I've Ever Seen!

[RevCheesehead]

39. I was just singing that yesterday!

I have no idea why. Go figure.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. The "Ten" series: One-Two-Three-Four-Five-Six-Seven-Eight-Nine-Ten!

There was a "common" opening, and ten different variants for each number. There was also a fraction-of-a-second pre-opening, different for each number. The variant for "9" was (IIRC) a cartoon man jumping into a pool from a diving platform.

The "common part" had two hands extending the fingers in sucession, and ten 60's-style race cars numbered 1-10, aligning side to side.

At least, that was in the Brazilian version (which had lots of localized content) but I suspect that was from the original. Was it?
