Sony is releasing a new box set entitled Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music. It’s not apparent from the title, but this is a Seasme Street 3-CD compilation, containing some really classic remastered tracks like Ladybugs Picnic, People in the Neighborhood, and Mah Na Mah Na. The good news is that it also contains Pinball Number Count by the Pointer Sisters. This song is the funkiest funk ever funked on Seasme Street. It’s an awesome track and I’ve only ever been able to find poor quality mp3s of it, probably recorded off a poor quality VHS tape.
One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten-eleven-twelve. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo etc.
Oh! Also on the CD is Madeline Kahn doing Sing After Me which I always thought was funny, if I’m remembering the right song.
I thought Ma Na Ma Na was from the Muppet Show…?
The 12 song was by the Pointer Sisters??? I never knew that!
If C is for Cookis is part of this set, then it’s something that must be owned.
if it is part of the set, that’s good enough for me.
It’s actually “Mahna Mahna” and it’s on my Muppets CD, so…I don’t know.
Awesome. I already have some of this stuff for J, but an entire compilation? Nice.
In skimming the song list, I see the “Bein’ Green” is another song that appears on both the Muppet album and this one.
So, did anyone else have the Seasme Street Disco record as a kid? The only song I can remember now is “Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco”.
