What's the name of that song? I loved this Sesame Street song when I was a little 'un, and now my daughter does too (demands "da de da de" all the time). warning: total earworm

I miss David. He died way too young. :(

Yeah, he did. I always get sad when I see him, especially in the christmas Eve special.

oh wow, I've never seen this and I was raised on Sesame Street! Everyone looks so heartbreakingly young.

Wow - I also have absolutely no memory of that song, but it's great. And yes, it's going to be lodged in my head for a while now.

I was wondering if it was on old standard, but it looks like it was of fairly recent vintage back in the mid 70's. According to the Muppet Wiki it looks like it was co-written by David Axelrod.
