OMG ! I grew up watching Sesame street and remember this all to well. Some real psychedelic visuals us kids were treated to. Catchy tunes too! Story goes that because of sesame street I learned to read even BEFORE I went to school. Back then watching TV WAS good for you!
And don't forget Electric Company, which was equally funky (here with Morgan Freeman introducing a band fronted by Denise "Violet Beauregard" Nickerson singing "The Sweet Sweet Sway"):
I just want to make stuff all the time. Or play Rock Band. Or watch movies. Or have beers with my friends. Or hang out in the desert. Or have dessert.
I dig listening to records and I still think making mix tapes is cool. I'll watch any horror movie, good or bad. I love pizza, videogames, cat chins, coffee, palm trees, Dallas, Melrose Place, dead buildings, the smell of wet leaves, beer, Dolly Parton, talking about ideas, this folder I have that has a cobra on the front, and swearing.
This one time, my dad brought home a huge roll of paper and I used some of it to draw a life-size picture of Donna Summer. I was really sad when Madeline Kahn died. I think that reading, water, and taking pictures are good for the soul.
Elephants, ostriches, and the Grand Canyon are impossible but I've seen them all.

Love it!
And I had no idea that was the Pointer Sisters. I've only heard it several hundred times over the years.
This is the only thing I liked on Sesame Street. And I still love it!

Umm, they are the best...
