Is Sesame Street the home of all good music?

So I got to talking with my neighbours the other night... somehow or other we ended up talking about Sesame Street songs.

I put it to the world that Sesame Street is in fact the home of all good music.  For just over 40 years Sesame Street has been providing us with joyful music combined with helpful alphabet, spelling and counting knowledge.

My all time favourite:


1, 2, 3, 4... (the pinball song) - interestingly, it was sung by The Pointer Sisters

In the same way that Uno is making a comeback, I predict that if you were to crack this song open on a dance floor anywhere in the world, it would go off!

And here are some other classics:

Some & None

More recently... "1, 2, 3, 4" by Feist

Ernie Can't Sleep (and Boogie Woogie Sheep)

Do De Rubber Duck (Reggae)

  2. As anyone who has spent too long on the internet knows Bert is Evil:

    So perhaps these happy songs are masking a deeper darkness of the soul that perhaps you Cam are involved in.
    Need I mention secret organisations... Acadian League? mm?

    Really Camski?? Them there are some pretty bold statements. I'd certainly challenge your prediction unless you were to modify it as such:

    "I predict that if you were to crack this song open on a dance floor anywhere in the world, 'I' would go off!"

    But for the fear of comprimising any potential political aspirations you may have I'd be tempted to ask whether you inhaled during this alleged conversation with the neighbours!

    Wubba Wubba Wubba indeed.

  4. An update... Sesame Street is also the home of excellent advertising spoofs...
