I never saw this clip before. Well, the one thing anyone who grew up watching SS was that this was the "true" nature of Cookie Monster. He wasn't always eating cookies. These were the days were he ate anything, and I do mean ANYTHING. Now, he's been tamed to only eat cookies and nothing else until they tried forcing veggies down his throat and that didn't work.

I love this tune too! I have a copy of the original sheet music from the 1950's I think! I sometimes play it on my banjo for my singalongs! Great tune for teaching the alphabet! I admit, sometimes I get the tune or the words a little wrong, but it's always fun to sing!

I also had faintly remembered Cookie Monster saying,"Where's my.."(up until a few years ago, when I had seen this for the first time in forty plus years, I used to think it was "Where's my M?")but now I see of course, it's "Where's my I?" Perhaps it was Jack's saying,"And M is right down here," to which CM asks,"Where's the rest?" that I was thinking of. Neat, in Season 1, that they had had the SS muppets sing cover versions of "pre-rock and roll songs," like this one, and "If I Knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake,"sung by Ernie(when he gets an unexpected visit from Cookie Monster), also from before the days of rock and roll. Seems from 1:56 onward, they must have had the "stage crew" gather up all the blocks, the way Jack must fetch all 26 of them QUICKLY, for Cookie Monster to eat. I also always remembered,"HEY! WHERE ARE MY BLOCKS?!!!" Jack:"Those weren't your blocks, I don't think." CM:"YES,THEY WERE!!!" and Jack quickly recovering (all 26), thus singing the song again, (again, little though I was, no more than three!)

My mom used to sing this as a lullaby to me when I was young

Seems that the first season of Sesame Street reused a lot of Jim Henson's old puppet characters from commercials and skits and such. Some went on to become main characters (like Cookie Monster and Grover) and some didn't. Jack here is apparently a modified Southern Colonel puppet; they just changed his hair, clothes and facial features (very much like an Anything Muppet.)

I like this song, too. Only I don't use it to describe my boyfriend. I use it to describe the alphabet. "It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you to tell you what IT means to me!"

Jack and Adrienne must have been among the muppets that were only seen in Season 1; also, that's the only SS muppet I know of, that Carroll Spinney had voiced, besides Oscar and Big Bird, of course. First time I saw this on the show, when I would have been about three, (because I only vaguely remembered it, and they stopped featuring it, by mid-1970s), two things--1, I used to think the female muppet here was the guy's DAUGHTER, and that her name was ALICE, and 2-that Jack was giving the blocks to his daughter, as a gift. But then, being that I WAS real little, of course I would have had no inkling that this boy and girl were boyfriend and girlfriend, at the time, forty plus years back. I did remember the latter part, of Cookie Monster demanding to know what happened to his blocks, and Jack giving them back, ALPHABETICALLY, no less, for Cookie Monster to eat, and remembered the skit ending with CM (nameless at the moment, of course)facing us with the X-block in his mouth.

+andrew plotnick Hopefully, you got this response, as well as the one from just now--let me know.

MrJamieMurph4141969

+andrew plotnick Now I understand what you mean, by these responses to comments-it sounds like you may want to know how to respond to comments that were made before they connected Google to YouTube last fall--what you do, is click on the link for posting comments, type @, then the user's name, and finally your response. The idea also is to type the username slowly--if it's still valid, it will eventually show. Good luck, Andrew.

Was this not originally sung by Dean Martin? No matter, i am a fan of Perry Como as well. (^.^)

I sing this song everywhere I go! :3

Jimbles Notronbo

they made a cover with the oliver (the vocaloid) and one of the newer ones I forgot her name

Sean Daugherty

"Where's my 'I'?" may be the greatest line ever spoken by Cookie Monster.

Jack forgot to mention ANOTHER reason that A is his favorite letter in the whole alphabet, out of all 26(besides being the first letter in adorable), OF COURSE, because, it's his girlfriend's initial--A for Adrienne!!!

Are you a feather in her arms? I doubt it.

Means he wants to eat cookies, Square Cookies, at least 26 of them.

MsPandaRosa

like to think he made it up for you with cookies. :-)

I sang this to my British hubby, he thought I made it up and "cheated" by skipping through m-n-o-p & q-r-s-t. So, I found this vid for him. Funny how songs stick with you from your childhood. :-D
