I was looking for "Down and down, up up and down again"

And instead found PUT DOWN THE DUCKY!

To say I am pleased is a serious understatement. Especially since this version has footage I've never seen before.

I find myself pondering "Chickens In The Trees" (FOUND IT!) and also if they changed the Intro again. They did when my sibs were little. It took me a while to warm up to the new footage and musical arragement.

And I found Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Alphabet " Amazing Beautiful Creatures Dancing, Exiting Forest..."


Cecile! - Up Down Over and Under AND I Wanna Be Me AND Brushin' Down The Doggies. Up Down was my Fav. Though.

Darn!

30 60 Mins later and I still haven't found it.

I remember the colour Red, and it was kind of Operatic. And had a group of people all dressed up going 'Down and down and down, up up and down again' as they marched up and down an incline, likely stairs. I thought it was Monsterpiece Theater but after searching, it doesn't look that way.

I'll keep looking. But I post now.

ETA: This post is primarily for [info]fickle who never watched Sesame St and for [info]gem225 who's likely to enjoy it. I figure the rest of y'all are far too grown up.

ETA2: Just to show how old I am... (ahem) This is my Sesame Street. That's my iconic (with me very wee). Everything after that involved change.

The amount of pain I should be in is stupid.

My knee buckled. I forgot my wallet. Had to go back to get it. Crawled to therapy. Was late. Only half session. Had the run around physical and administratively (?). With bad knee. Begged for cane to help me get home. It would have to be ordered. Broke down in a parking lot and cried. Did my necessary collecting of paperwork. Decided since I was in such awful pain anyway, to shut if off, and get groceries I wanted.

Supermarket was out of Honey Nut Cheerios (genric is less healthy)

CVS had it on sale. Got 3 boxes.

Also treated self to pineapple slices (now cooling in fridge) and seltzer water (raspberry) and salmon at $4 a lb. Because knee was/is kind of burning warm like Bengay. And I will need to leave the house again for the week for a stupid Xray even though I had an MRI cause the fucking orthopedist prefers them.

Have cheerios right now.

Will be crying into them as I let my self feel sensation again.

Day also included realization that I forgot to buy monthly bus pass. Got so flustered bought a 1 way ticket, then stood in line for the bus, climbed onboard and said 'oh fuck'. Monthly passes are no longer on sale.

I might also be getting a new cellphone #, because while I was juggling NOT to get an appt to see the orthopedist in DECEMBER and dealing with Apt of Lies' Landlord's Consultant - I forgot to buy more service time. Have credits. Do not have service.

And i still have to call my mother and pin down a time for the move - without letting her know something's wrong with me.
