Awesome clip, AC. That was from WAY back in the day when Sesame Street was cool. Apparently now they want to make Oscar the Grouch more even-tempered, and have Cookie Monster eat cookies with a knife and fork.
One thing, though- I never knew Ron Jeremy played trumpet in Stevie Wonder’s band.
That clip is awesome. Good times. I would have loved to be on Sesame Street that day. Did you see the little girl at the beginning jamming out on the fire escape? Man, she’s loving the show.
[…] And regarding Alison Bartlett O’Reilly, the “vet” from Sesame Street, I’ve never seen her because I don’t usually watch Sesame Street with the kids, because it’s nothing even resembling what I watched when I was a kid. I realize things change with the times, but it’s disturbing seeing Muppets rap and dance hip-hop. I still think of the old school Street when Stevie Wonder sang “Superstition”. And it ROCKED, even to the little kid that I was. Now it’s nothing more than 35 minutes of lame, 21st-century-ized ripoffs imitations of the things they used to show on the Street back in the day, and then it turns into 20 minutes of The Elmo Show. I really despise Elmo. I used to like him, if for no other reason than because he’s a Muppet, but I can’t take him anymore. That’s partially due to all the friggin’ singing and dancing Elmo toys my relatives and in-laws have given my kids over the years. Elmo’s right up there with Barney on the list of all-time most irritating super mega evil kids’ show characters and corresponding theme songs. But I digress… […]
