When I rediscovered the clip on youtube, I found myself bursting into tears, remembering how baby me would yell out the chorus along with the other kids, how I captivated I was. I can't wait to have children of my own, and have them sing that song along with me.

Both the original video and the Sesame Street video are rays of sunshine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3vIv1EwO5A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA OH! Philip Glass! Remember the trippy animated sequences of circles moving around? Philip Glass composed the music for those, especially for Sesame Street. The video is four of the six sequences strung together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-R1aIM-C0 I'm still blown away that we got Philip Glass in our Sesame Street, and these days the show has been pretty much taken over by Elmo.
