Cancel everything and watch Sesame Street the rest of the day

kermitI know a lot of people praise YouTube, but it's well-deserved praise. The site has become a depository for just about any old clip from any show, commercial, or video you can think of. In fact, there's a huge amount of Sesame Street clips on there, and one person has taken it upon themselves to provide links to almost one hundred classic and not-so-classic clips from the show. I'd like to say I was the one with that kind of time on my hands, but I wasn't. I mean, I have that much time on my hands, I'm just too lazy to actually compile all those videos. The clips include some favorites of mine, such as the Alligator King, Ladybug Picnic, Mahna Mahna, and Kermit's "News Flash" segments, which I always thought were some of the funniest segments on Sesame Street. No Muppet plays the straight man better than Kermit. Well, maybe Bert. Anyway, enjoy them all.

'Mahna Mahna' was indeed featured on the Muppet Show - in fact it's the first sketch in the Julet Prowse episode on the season 1 DVD.

However, it WAS also on Sesame Street in 1969 and on the Ed Sullivan show back in 1968... the character (actually called Mahna Mahna) was designed as a symbol of freedom of expression - it was the 1960's folks!

More info about the song is available here... some of it is surprising...

Wasn't Mahna Mahna from The Muppet Show? I have the song on my ipod and at the end of the actual song there's some pretty funny banter between Statler and Waldorf. Am I cuh-razy? That's possible...
