Thank you so much for making me smile today!!!! I so needed that. This is a great reminder of why we got my siblings puppet show stuff. I can’t wait to show this to them so they can be inspired like I was as a kid. :)
That was SO GREAT! I love that song! I was just thinking the other day how much I miss Sesame Street. Sigh.
Have a great Day!

Too cute. Is this from the old school Sesame Street DVD I wonder. My hubby ordered it for us a while ago and my girls love the old shows more than the present day ones. My about to be five year old says, “Can we watch Sesame Street from the old days, before Elmo…when it was so cool.” LOL. Yes, it was cool!
Thanks for a great laugh, Tara…I was born in a place called Chibougamau (she-boo-ga-moo, Quebec (my father was in the Armed Forces and was stationed there just long enough for my parents to have me. Needless to say, I got bugged alot whenever the teacher would play the “where were you born” game in school. For years, the kids used to bug me by singing this exact song and changing “muh nah muh nah” with “Chibougamau, nah nah na nah”…you get the point. Today’s post brought back memories I can now laugh at. Back then, not sooooo funny, lol
Thanks again! btw LOVE, love, love your work!
I REFUSE to hit play, because when I do, I know it will be on a continual loop in my head for the next week. I speak from experience. Arrgh..it was horrible.
Here’s my favorite version of that (I believe the original):

god bless Jim Henson …
OH my gosh, my all time favorite song from Sesame Street!!! I don’t know of anyone that doesn’t know this song!!! hilarious to see it again!!
Holy Moly! I totally love Rainbow Connection! When I was growing up, we had it on vinyl…and I would put it in the record player..and sing Rainbow Connection at the top of my lungs over and over and OVER again…I had no idea Sarah Mclachlan sings a version of it!
AHHHHHHHHH! I can’t wait to get it!
You brought a smile to my face, and soon “muh nah muh nah” to my blog! Thanks!
Muh nah muh nah!
you tube just rocks.
And now I’ll be singing this song all day!
We are huge Muppets fans and I didn’t know Sesame Street did one, too! I’m gonna have to show my dd – she’s going to be so thrilled! Thanks for sharing!
SO DANG CUTE!
DUDE!
So great. I’ll have that song in my head all day now, but it’s well worth it! Must check out that CD…
Tara…..not just smile but sing along and laugh and I think I will be mahnamahah’ing all day now!!! Thanks so much for that!! It’s been too long since I’ve heard that!
I’ll be honest . . .totally didn’t remember this song until I saw the Muppet Show version. Then it came flooding back to me. My 2 girls came in from outside and heard and came to watch. They just went back out singing it.
so funny, the cake song is my favorite right now & my friends were just making fun of me cause i play it all the time! I cant wait to show them this link, what a perfect time! THANKS!
LOVE this song. Just thought of looking it up on You Tube yesterday. Bizarre. Thanks for helping me find it! Jen
I TOTALLY remember that muppet version. So cool to see it again. Really cool. Thanks.
