the ladybugs 12, on the ladybugs picnic

i cant remember how i found this, but it made my day. there are 12 there that i dont remember, but there are ones that he forgot as well. i spose its not forgetting because they are memories of his favourites, but here are the ones i would add to his list

the ladybugs 12

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
Ladybugs
Came to the ladybugs' picnic

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
And they all played games
At the ladybugs' picnic

They had twelve sacks so they ran sack races
They fell on their backs and they fell on their faces
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic

They played jump rope but the rope it broke
So they just sat around telling knock-knock jokes
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
And they chatted away
At the ladybugs' picnic

They talked about the high price of furniture and rugs
And fire insurance for ladybugs
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic
12!

the orange crayon

this started with a little girl sitting in her backyard colouring in (or coloring, as she would have been in america). when she picks up the orange crayon she holds it up to her face and the camera zooms until her face is fuzzy and the crayon is in focus. then all of a sudden we're in the crayon factory! this is so great! so that's how crayons are made! wow!

b is for bubble

B is for bubble
Bubble, bubble, bubble
B is for bubble
Bubble, bubble, bubble
B is for bubble and bubblegum
And B is for brother who brought you some
And B is better than any letter for bubblegum

and so on, and so on and so on. i loved singing rounds. when we were doing vocal warm ups for forum, kylie made us sing one that you sing with the scales, but instead of humming or whatever you sing

we sang that in a round. its bloody hard

lower case n

i always felt bad for lower case n

In a cold and far-off place
There was a lower-case N.
Lonely and cold, she would stare off into space
And it was known that she would cry now and then.

Lower-case N, standing on a hill.
The wind is very still, for the lower-case eh-en...

(occasional, unearthly "oohs" in background now)

And then one day a rocketship
Came racing from the sky.
It landed on the hill and there opened up a door
And somethin' started comin' outside...

A lower-case N!
(She's not lonely anymo-o-re)
They are standing on the hill
(There are two that stand for su-u-ure)
The wind is very still
For the lower-case eh-ens!

there are so many! doin the pigeon! when REM come on and sing furry happy monsters!
i remember watching one morning with x and zoolander guy??? ga! my memory is working overtime on sesame street, i cant think of other things...ben stiller. ok, ben stiller was on and he was singing people in your neighbourhood and he came dressed as cheese

cheese is a person in your neighbourhood

my personal favourites from mikes list are "i made it out of clay, bert", Pinball number count", "super grover" and "near and far". i think grover has always been my favourite on sesame street
