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?

I beat you to it, here (http://fjorab-teke.livejournal.com/449325.html) and here (http://fjorab-teke.livejournal.com/451987.html). I have to TOTALLY agree! Do you want my favorites list? *giggles*

I think there's a "Best of Bert and Ernie" one somewhere, but I haven't searched it out yet.

Gah, Elmo took over and is more pervasive than Big Bird ever was. :-p

Now, how can I pirate download these gems, so that I can save a few of them before they potentially disappear like someone's ex-post of my favorite Marching Band clip?

As for the melodies, I don't know where to go. I think my parents or my sister have the Sesame Street songs record that we listened to as kids, and I think we're going to try to record some of those old obscure rare records digitally to coputer sometime.

That link is turning into the BESTEST THING EVAH!

Seriously.

Ana and the baby may grow up the only children who watch TV almost exclusively on the computer....

Well, Jenn *is* getting an actual TV soon.
