Immediately!
Immediately!
Immediate…L-Y!
Brilliant stuff, but you had me scared for a moment there. I thought we might have lost Tom Lehrer.
Oh, that would be a tragedy. No, I just wanted to share a masterwork that no one I’ve spoken to has ever heard.
The Electric Company!
I always loved Dracula’s expression. He seems so surprised someone would run away!
I sing this song all the time. No one ever knows what I’m talking about.
I like Dracula, but it’ll never beat out Lolly lolly lolly.
Sefton, I don’t recall hearing that song before, and if I had, I sure didn’t know that it was Tom Lehrer. I was just old enough to miss most of the Sesame Street/Electric Company sort of stuff, although I sometimes saw it because of younger siblings.
This, for some reason, reminded me of the capital I song (which I found, with bonus lower case n song). It always seemed very existential to me. I can’t imagine what they were trying to “teach” with these two clips.
I liked all the Electric Company cartoon clips that were spoofs of 2001: A Space Odyssey. At the time I had no idea what they were about.
The late seventies electric company was my favorite show- we gave away our television and didn’t get another for ten years, by which time it had turned into a different show…
I was super excited when I found it in the program recently- but it isn’t even trying to be the same thing. It’s all hip hop and dancing now.
