I remember seeing this on TV. I was not a kid at the time.

/I am now.

The clip was from Season 9 episode 9.

That's a much more swinging version than the dirge alphabet that I learned. We were a joyless people. Education was a chore.

Anyhew, off to go self-flagellate, got a test tomorrow.

I'll see your Ray Charles, and raise you one Johnny Cash (new window)

/great link, subby

Does he say... "Aww, man that's terrible" at the end?

Uh, you can call me Ray, or you can call me J,...

waiting4godot: Does he say... "Aww, man that's terrible" at the end?

I think he meant "terrible" as in "awesome." That's just how hip he is.

i take the "that's terrible" to be him reacting to his own song like it's a joke with a bad pun. the abcs are such a boring song, and turning it into something groovey is kinda like a groaner joke.

Darth Vader did a credible job, back in the day....

I see your Ray Charles, I see your Johnny Cash, and I raise you Patrick Stewart (a B or Not a B)and Patrick Stewart (make it so, Number One!)

At first I was like 'wow, that kid is actually clapping on the right beats'... then there was a close up and I realized, 'oh, that's cause she's not white.'

And someone forgot to tell the white girl to at least pretend to look happy to be there.

Um, Clapping on 1 and 3? (:042)

/I'm just sayin

Anyone who can sing the affabet to kids while making it fun is a winner.

Oh man, that was terrible...

feckingmorons: I remember seeing this on TV.

That's more than Ray Charles could ever say.

waiting4godot: Does he say... "Aww, man that's terrible" at the end?

Stevie Wonder for the win.

Ah, Ray. If he ever needed a metronome he'd just have to look in a mirror.

/aisle seat, near the front

crazycooter: Uh, you can call me Ray, or you can call me J,...

I knew I couldn't be the only one who remembers that guy...

Here's some more Stevie on the Seasame Street: Link (new window)

What's the obsession with Fark and Sesame Street?

Can't find it, but Al green sang the alphabet on the Electric Company, and it is mimeblowing.

Milkbeer: its been a while since i've seen a black dude teach idiots without a teleprompter in a while..... thanks fark.

You're a retard.

I like that blonde girl who's really grumpy at the start, but then, she starts feeling the groove and happys up.

Soul can do that.

It's the show's 40th anniversary.

root88: What's the obsession deal with Fark and Sesame Street?

Sesame Street is Awesome™. It's a FarkLaw™.

LindLTaylor: I am going to be the one to come out and be brave enough to say that Ray Charles sucks, or sucked. We get it already. You were blind and played piano and sang. Yeah for your accoplishements.

Wow. What is it like to have such shiatty taste in music? The dude was an absolute genius, not only musically, but also as a businessman. He was a pioneer in civil rights. He is a freaking national treasure.

But, hey, whatever. You're entitled to your opinion.

Likewise, grats on your "accoplishment" of being a douche.

I just asked what the deal was. I didn't tell you to stop being a retard.

Whoa....easy killer. Many trolls in this here thread, thought you were one of them. Sorry. 40 years of Sesame Street is the deal.

I'm just glad they finished that movie about him in time for him to see it

LindLTaylor: From Bio: "Charles was married twice and fathered 12 children by nine different women."

LOL what a hero! He was out there humping like a wildcat in heat. I can see why you all admire him so much.

I am truely sorry for your lots.

Who would have thought it would only take a Sesame Street thread to bring out all the weirdos...

/I'll be over there.
