Flashback to the 70's! :o

Sometimes I get into these funny little moods where I go and look up old things from my childhood - things that I once watched or that have stuck in my memory, and I end up finding a virtual treasure trove of stuff. I was even discussing this with someone the other night, a person that's not really old enough to remember the good stuff that I had the privilege of watching! :D

A lot of things that have influenced me as a child were from the old show 'Sesame Street'. Yeah, I know it's still on the air - but it's just not the same show that I remember it to be. It's been "updated" for today's ADHD child, for "Hunter" and "Ashleigh" and "Cayden" and all of the other kids with frankly stupid fucking names.

(Who the living fuck names their kid 'Hunter'? That would be a target on a school playground, where I grew up, hah.)

Anyway, I was poking around and I found the old 'pinball' clips that used to run on Sesame Street, something that I had honestly forgotten about - but boy, did my mouth drop when I saw them! :D I sure remember them now! The music is fresh and just funky as hell. God, did we have it good or what???

Found out from some of the people that had posted that the Pointer Sisters are the ones singing the numbers. Was that a shock. But no wonder it sounds good.

So, here you are - this is #11 in a series of #12. They're posted all over YouTube, as you'll see, but I felt this one was in the best condition. Check out the leopard, rofl. :D Now, pardon me while I take my LSD and enjoy this. (grin!)
