This episode forced me to watch every Sesame Street for weeks when I was a kid........just so I could see it again! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul7X5js1vE
Probably been posted before, just wanted to add that this tune had more to do with me wanting to be a musician than anything I can point to in my childhood.
Take Care,
Timbros.

Things like this sometimes make me wish I was born just a wee bit earlier in time...(though I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything)

Much cooler than it is now. And I remember rediscovering that video a couple years ago - love how they just go on and jam out on the show. They'd never let an artist do that now.

its probably one of the best live versions i have heard too  and that chord that seems out of place in the opening riff is sweet (is it a suspended, it sounds like it).

But it still seems like a good option for them to watch compared to a lot of the other kids programming out there. |

I am a fan of a number of performances on Sesame Street like Litle Ritchard doing Rubber Ducky and REM doing Shiny Happy Monsters, complete with a spot on muppet version of Kate Pierson of the B-52s who sang on the original song.

There was. | Yeah it's a good line. I just realized that usually play it like Stevie Ray Vaughan's version, which is way too similar to Play that Funky Music.

That's Ray Parker, Jr on guitar.
Back in the day, I recall seeing this band perform a few times on different TV Channels...a classic performance was the In Concert show that came on Friday night @11:30pm.
