    This sounds awesome! Why didn't The Mighty Mighty Bosstones do more swing music like this? Unless they did and I didn't know about it.

  4. J.... L....

  12. M.... M....

    That guy in the burgundy suit looks like Chandler Bing

  13. B.... M....

    If you want to leave a mark in American pop, you need three S-es: Sesame Street, SNL, and The Simpsons. Bosstones have all three.

  14. T.... T....

    I actually find it kind of hilarious that this is their most popular song in their discography.

  15. N.... D....

    This is a very fun song.

  16. T.... i....

    Didn't even realize this was a Sesame Street song at first

  17. J.... I....

    My kids danced a hole in the carpet until they finally killed their copy of 'Elmopalooza' to this song...

  18. A.... R....

    2 hours ago

  19. n.... ....

    Awesome, I was going through some old burned cds I had from 2003 and I was wondering if this gem made it onto youtube. MMB 4 LIFE!

  20. S.... I....

    It's actually just a regular studio with a cyclorama in Boston. I did the art for this a long time ago. Thanks for uploading! #memories

  21. j.... h....

    I love The Count!

  22. M.... M....

    The best!!!!!

  23. O.... ....

    It's seems that people are forgetting something and it's the time period this came out. This came out in 1998, when ska was incredibly popular

    O.... ....

    This version is definitely swing and not ska though.

  24. R.... ....

    Me & my mom loves this song!!

    R.... ....

    Captain Ruby it is the best.

  25. S.... T....

    my grandma still has this movie.😁😊

  26. H.... L....

    a character from my childhood [i was born LOOOONG BEFORE  THIS!!]  plus  a band i use to get f***ed  while listening  to them  am I hallucinating !!?   even tho in sad news the puppetteer who plays the count  passed away  the laughter and joy he brought will  live on  forever  RIP  JERRY  NELSON  !!   HAVE  A  Great  night!!

    H.... L....

    Harvey Lee this was what cemented me as a ska fan at age 4 in 98. still a ska fan today

  27. M.... M....

    What Shows From Your Childhood That You Still Like Today

  28. M.... T....

    My favorite song from Elmopalooza!

  29. M.... T....

    My favorite song from Elmopalooza!

  30. Z.... ....

    I think this is the only sesame street video I've ever watched on YouTube that I've reloaded at least 10 times. 

    Z.... ....

    Zrelia o

  31. d.... ....

    I find it extremely bizarre that I has this CD as a very young child but then older I discovered a bunch of artists that were featured on it completely independent of it

  32. R.... W....

    I like this version

    R.... W....

    I like it too. In my opinion, kinda more upbeat compared to the original version.

    R.... W....

    I agree with both of you. This version is so catchy!

  33. G.... P....

    Is that the best you got?

  34. D.... T....

    Wow this is crazy, I actually filmed this video, I was the DP. The video was directed by Lionel C. Martin. Cool to see my work still being viewed and enjoyed.

    D.... T....

    Dogumentary TV Well, it's nice to meet you on YouTube!

    D.... T....

    Doing a podcast about Ska and talking about this band that I've loved since childhood, and this video came up! This is great stuff, thank you! :)

  35. S.... ....

    Though I kind of prefer listening to it than watching it. The special's all fun, and this (along with Kenny Loggins's "One Small Voice" and the finale) is one of my favorite parts, the actual music video's a bit garish. It's charming, in a boisterous, late '90s, "everything's big and flashy" kind of way, but a tad annoying. Plus, at 1:40: Hello, Jerry Nelson's arm!

  36. S.... ....

    Same here. This one is a little bouncier and has more of a big band, "Zoot Suit Riot" kind of feel.

  37. T.... ....

    am i the only one who thinkgs the singer with Count looks like The Doctor from Doctor who?

  38. J.... S....

    By far the best video featuring a math expert who is a vampire.

  39. L.... ....

    Meanwhile, at the Count's house.

  40. V.... B....

    This song is awesome! Long LIve Christopher Cerf!

  41. V.... B....

    That's Dicky Barrett!

  42. M.... ....

    They do sound pretty similar, but it's the Might Mighty Bosstones.

  43. E.... ....

    Is it "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy"?

  44. b.... ....

    this version is kinda catchy. i like this!

  45. J.... K....

    OMG I remember seeing this as a three year old. Bosstones ftw

  46. d.... k....

    this should've been done with the electric mayhem

  47. N.... R....

    Whats the original version

  48. M.... S....

    @MarshalGrover i think she's the one who supposedly likes puppies with gravy. Yea, I remember that episode. LOL

  49. M.... A....

    I found out where my love of ska came from. :D

  50. R.... ....

    No Dislikes the way it should be!! But man Dicky is the godfather of Ska Music and the Bosstones are truly one of the greatest bands of all time they are no one hit wonder that Vh1 says they are. They are still around kicking major ass!! GO BEN GO KEEP DANCING

  51. c.... ....

    This was my favorite song from Elmopalooza! :)

    c.... ....

    coastykid95 Same here, along with “Caribbean Amphibian” with Jimmy Buffett and Kermit the Frog and “Songs” by Jon Stewart, Elmo & the cast

    c.... ....

    Mine too and I don’t want to live on the moon and Caribbean amphibian.

  52. S.... ....

    THROW DOWN!!!!

  53. B.... ....

    this is the song I first heard about the Mighty Mighty Bosstones! so AWESOME!!!! :)

    B.... ....

    Babelfish112 Same here! I wanna go to a Mighty Mighty Bosstones concert so freaking bad!

  54. P.... P....

    This shoot was so much fun all of the Dancers were from PHUNK PHENOMENON in Boston :)))

  55. W.... ....

    SKA ON!

  56. F.... ....

    Do you guys know what her name might be so I can look it up and see?

  57. K.... J....

    @MarshalGrover Good Point.

  58. I.... N....

    I used to watch the tape of this show ALL THE TIME when i was a young lad. ahh, memories...

  59. B.... ....

    I remember this!!!!!!!!!!

  60. L.... ....

    It would be hilarious if they played this at one of their upcoming shows.

    L.... ....

    LambruscoKid I couldn’t agree more

  61. L.... ....

    Although I haven't seen that show probably since I was a kid, I think you've got a good point there. She does look kind of familiar.

  62. M.... ....

    At 1:33, to the left of The Count. Wasn't she on All That?
