I love playing this one...a classic. Every bass line is different, depending on the artist.  This is a real good one.

I never heard Elvis do it!

I still prefer the original. Robert Higginbotham = Tommy Tucker

Wonder if the writer got any royalties for any of those subsequent versions? Even the Sesame Street theme bares some resemblance.

Not bad for a bunch of Yanks pretending to be Yuropean ...

Oh wow, that brings back memories! When the first season first aired in Germany (early 70ies) in its - thankfully - undubbed original form, our English teacher relegated us to watching it saying it would improve our English - he was right. It was also a cultural ambassador, I thought that is how Americans live in big cities.  ;D

Much later they created a German version of it ("Sesamstraße"), it had none of the charm. "Samson" and "Tiffy" the muppets/puppets created by Jim Henson for specifically Germany were horrible. I missed Big Bird.



And for the record: Ernie & Bert were of course gay. How could anybody ever have been in doubt about that.

Hey that German Sesame Street wasn't so bad. The intro music was funky. I'm guessing German Kermit didn't catch on as well as his English speaking counterpart. Maybe it's just me but this version of Rainbow connection seems a little lacking.

Naw, Kermit was cult in Germany, though probably more as conferencier in Muppet Show than in Sesame Street, we could see and hear him both in original English and dubbed ...

That voice sounds like Joel Grey singing in Cabaret. I half expected him to break into it at any moment....

That wasn't Kermit's usual German dub voice and it indeed sounds like Joel in Cabaret!

Barbara Lynn (of You'll Lose a Good Thing fame) covering Ray Charles. She's still around. That's the late Gatemouth Brown on the Ric.

Spending great parts of his childhood and youth in a bomb shelter from the Russkies, Dave doesn't do Sesame Street. Sigh, a lost generation really ...

The Firesign Theater responds....

INDIAN: Welcome, White Brother!
WAGON BOSS: Injuns! Draw the wagons up into a circle!
INDIAN: Why do you always do that?
WAGON BOSS: We get better reception that way! Do you mind if I put this antenna up on yonder peak?
INDIAN: That's our Sacred Mountain.
WAGON BOSS: This is our Sacred Antenna! It's shaped like a cross! Made out of aluminum. Er-got any aluminum?
