Were this not marred by the presence of screaming children, I'd say this was the coolest thing ever.

That was awesome!

I work at a museum that had Seasame Street as one of the traveling exhibits. That video is sweet. At first I ddn't like the kids either but after the 100th time you see it, you disregard the kids and enjoy the groove the HW lays down.

Yet another video for my MySpace page...

Any idea on the tuba/bell? That's a very huge taper on the bell.

HoJo was great.

JT was his signature self.

If you think those kids detracted from a "kid's song" in any way and didn't do a pretty good job, then you need to spend about 5 seconds in any general music class in the country to appreciate the job they did.

I agree.
Further, I would rather have genuine racous out-of-tune singing than the "canned," dubbed, professional, pitch corrected, over processed singing that is used on the more modern shows like Barney. I would cringe every time I heard it - it sounded so unnatural.

Marty "who actually had his elementary kids standing with good posture and singing , not shouting or whispering, in his shortlived GM classes."

Question: Did J.T. play that song in E because he is a big star or did he want to make the kids stretch out vocally?
He would probably record that tune in that key, I reckon.
Mr. Johnson probably was fine with that key-nor was he surprised.
My old Eb King has surprisingly good intonation in E.
