Milk MIIIIIIILLLLLLLLKKKKK Milk!

I end up singing this when I go to grab a glass of milk sometimes and Brian doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about.

You see, he didn't grow up on Sesame Street!

Thanks to youtube, he now understands some of the weird things I say (like "a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter", or "the family car", or "rrrrrrrrradio" or . . . )

OMG! I chant "a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter" all the freaking time!

I don't think I'd ever seen that one. I didn't watch Sesame St much, though...at least not until I worked at Learningsmith.
Weird little ditty.

I do, however, quote the aliens occasionally: "OooOooh...star. Yepyepyepyep...staaaarrrr."

So cool and harkening back to yon days of innocence! I loved that sense of total urgency with the truck driver. It always made me wonder how that one baby could get the guy to jump like that :)

And speaking of which....

Try to remember everything you passed
But when you go back, make the first thing the last!

"Behind your face,
There is a place
That's called your brains or your mind
If you could see
What's deep inside
Oh, what wonderful things you'll find"

Yeah, I think Sesame Street ended for me in the late '80s when my sister got older and we didn't have the kid-shows on as much anymore. Otherwise, the '70s was all Sesame Street and Electric Co. And Zoom. OMG, Zoom! I wanted to learn to speak Abu Dhabi so bad....!

I swear, with WBZ being such an influential force in public TV at the time, I thought all of PBS originated in Boston so I could never understand why Mr. Rogers was produced in Pittsburgh. It's all in Boston, isn't it? :)

You forgot about 321 Contact! I love, love, loved The Bloodhound Gang skits (those are on youtube too, but the quality is so bad and they are long).

There is an excellent documentary about the making of Sesame Street and its intentions back then, and then the expansion to other countries. I think having grown up with it, you'd probably really enjoy it. I had no idea of the social implications of it then because for me it was just a normal thing. Now, I am so grateful for that experience. :)

I remember this one!

Wow.... That's painful! I'm sure I've seen it though, because I've always known how cows were milked. I don't remember the soundtrack though.

We like quoting the Count - Ah Ah Ah! - and Coooooooo-keeees!

That is such a weird coincidence!! My bf has been doing the whole "milk! Miiiiiillk! Milk!" song lately and this weekend he looked it up on YouTube to show his 8 year old daughter! Funny!

Do you remember the Twiddle Bugs? They are now computer animated (I have a toddler, so am getting reaquainted with the old and new). I was rather annoyed to see them animated.

But just yesterday they played "Everybody Sleeps" and I was singing along. My husband just shook his head.

He didn't know what "Today is Tuesday. You know what that means" was either. But I was raised on original MMC reruns, too.

Yes! The Twiddle Bugs are where "the family car" comes from: "The family car?" "The famileeeeeeeeeeeee car". On any family road trip my Dad would ask us if we'd want to take the family car and we'd have that dialog (and my husband would look at us like we were all nuts. :)
