having 3 kids ourselves, we've noticed & commented to each other on the ernie/shane laugh connection. glad we're not alone. not alone in noticing that, or not alone in being pogues fans with kids, either way. indeed, it's on the tv even as i type this.

Which is a bit of a shame, really. I'd like to have seen that. Some of those Sesame Street covers of rock classics weren't at all bad.
we have an old 70s record,
The Stars Come Out On Sesame Street, and some of it's good. Johnny Cash w/ Oscar the Grouch was a highlight. The Pointer Sisters, Ray Charles... I remember seeing Pete Seeger on there when i was a kid, at a time when he was blacklisted from american tv & radio. Buffy Sainte Marie was on the show for several years, also while blacklisted. i remember Dizzy Gillepsie making fun of Kermit not being able to puff out his cheeks like a frog should, and like Dizzy could. All way, way cooler than anything
Dora the Explorer has to offer.
our favourite song in this house (yes, i admit, we have a favourite. hey, kids outnumber adults in this house, go with the flow...) is
Put Down the Ducky (if you wanna play the saxaphone), which they did with a medley of performers, clip style.
thanks for all those cover images, those are HOT. here's the cover of the record i mentioned:

and, for anybody really turned on, they put out a box set of music a few years back,
Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music:

hey, i see there's a new dvd collection of old school sesame street shows too,
Sesame Street - Old School, Vol. 1 (1969-1974):
