Do you know what I just discovered????

I can download videos off of YouTube and save them to my computer and watch them in DivX. No, really.

Funnily enough, this coincided with me realizing that there's a ton (well, half a ton, anyway) of Sesame Street videos on YouTube, which culminated in my ephiphany that the show was better before now. (Don't get proper Sesame Street anymore, you young whippersnappers!)

And that caused me to start thinking two things. One, THEY ought to sell old seasons of Sesame Street on DVD, instead of all that Elmo, and two, I wish I knew the lyrics and music to some of those songs.

Now, the lyrics to a lot of fairly obscure Sesame Street are online, but where do I get the melodies? WHERE, I ask you? WHERE????

Help?

They actually do sell a DVD collection of skits from the first five years of Sesame Street. I'd love to buy it someday when the price comes down a little, because the show really was much better when its target 'pre-school' age was five rather than three.

*laughs* You can find it on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Sesame-Street-School-Vol-1969-1974/dp/B000H6SY8C/sr=8-1/qid=1171952878/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2693123-6299311?ie=UTF8&s=dvd). I found out about it while watching a really neat special on the process of developing Sesame Street programmes in other countries - it was definitely a trip seeing all those old sketches and realising I still knew the words to all the songs.

I... I think I love you.
