Sesame Street - What's the Name of That Song (1969) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although, like other Sesame Street made-for-sale products, the storyline is a little weak (Super Grover looks for the Song Everyone Can Sing,) this DVD is still great fun. It's mostly comprised of song clips from the show, including a montage of "Sing," Wayne Brady singing "Between" from the 2003 season, "Operatic Lullaby" with Denyce Graves, "Soul Alphabet" with Patti LaBelle, "The Letter O" with Queen Latifah, and "Everybody's Song" with Diana Krall. Muppet clips include "Do de Rubber Duck," "Doin the Pidgeon," "Eight Balls of Fur," and "You Made Me Love You" with Cookie Monster.
Performances on this DVD are terrific: it's great to see SuperGrover crashing his way through the screen again. If not for the credits, you'd never know Frank Oz isn't a performer - Cookie and Grover are rock-solid, just like I remember them!They could have skipped the letters/numbers homage to West Side Story, but otherwise, it's great to see Oscar and Big Bird interact with Elmo and SuperGrover,
The extras on this DVD really made it worth buying for this vintage Sesame Street fan, though: There are four vintage clips in their entirety: "ABC-DEF-GHI," "I Like You," "Captain Vegetable," and, best of all, a montage of the "Pinball Number Count"(same as the song on the 35th anniversary CD.) I also like the cover - it opens into a board book with lyrics to several songs; a great plus if you have a preschooler!
