Things I Learned Today

[melannen]

So it turns out that back in the day, Sesame Street used to have a lot of current pop songs performed on it. And there was a Songs From Sesame Street LP, which I have now held in my own hands.


...Apparently "Yellow Submarine" is 'a song that teaches about colors and making friends', "Good Morning Starshine" 'teaches about distance and space', and "Feelin' Groovy (59th street bridge song)" is about 'learning to be cheerful and good-natured'.

...Apparently the original creators of Sesame Street spent a lot of time stoned out of their minds. This explains a lot.

Well... they're not wrong. Though that explains, perhaps, why my parents are so fond of it.

And I remember a skit where they spun "Let It Be" into "Letter B," all about things that begin with 'B'.
