Product Description

From Amazon.com

Kids will enjoy this half-hour Sesame Street video, in which the whole gang takes a piano up to the roof and sings some of their favorite songs. But they are frequently interrupted by workmen Biff and Sully, who keep tuning in songs on their TV (only to knock the antenna out of whack). The blend of people and puppets is charming, and the bits culled from the TV show add to the fun. A pair of highlights: Ernie sitting in his bathtub singing the big hit, "Rubber Ducky," and Bert (in a magical bit of puppetry) dancing and singing "Doing the Pigeon." --Marshall Fine

Product Description

Sing along with Big Bird, Grover and Ernie and special guest star Madeline Kahn as they perform Sesame Street favorites Sing and Rubber Duckie as well as all time classics like Old MacDonald, the Alphabet Song and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for mom, too!, Jun 22 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Ss Sing Along (VHS Tape)

My 2 older kids, now ages 6 and 8, watched this tape until it wore out. With a new baby now, I will definitely buy it again. The kids LOVED these songs, even though the tape is obviously not from their generation. They didn't care. I enjoyed it because some of these songs are from when I watched Sesame Street as a kid! As far as suffering through kids' videos goes, this one won't make you want to smash the TV (as so many of the others tend to do!).

4.0 out of 5 stars High in Sesame goodness, low in Muppet appearances, Jan 4 2003

This review is from: Ss Sing Along (VHS Tape)

I like this tape a lot, even though it's dated (by Maria's big '80s hair!). Most of the singing takes place when the Sesame Street gang and a group of kids drag a piano up to the roof to have a sing-along with Bob and Big Bird. Workmen Biff and Sully just happen to be up there "fixing" a TV, where you get to see some terrific non-rooftop spots including Grover and the late great Madeline Kahn singing "Sing After Me," a sign-language enhanced "Sing," "We All Sing With The Same Voice," and "Doin the Pidgeon"

Maria, Gordon, Bob, Big Bird, Hoots the Owl and the kids all sing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," "Old MacDonald Had A Farm,""Stand Up and Pinch Your Nose," the Alphabet song, a cute upbeat number by Big Bird called "Cheer Up" and, for a grand finale, my ultimate favorite Sesame Street song, "What's The Name Of That Song."

The production values in this tape are very simple - but the focus is on the characters and their voices. Everybody gets to be who they are. I recommend this one to anybody who likes the people on Sesame Street as well as the muppets.

P.S. The video cover is a little misleading: Ernie and Bert aren't part of the sing-along: they appear separately in "Doin the Pigeon" and "Rubber Ducky." A bit of trivia - this tape started its life as a Sesame Street episode.

Parents,
My 8 year old son likes Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster is not in this tape but this is a very funny tape. Big Bird and the gang go on top of the roof and Shirref and Selley are up fixing the t.v.(the were really try to get the anntena out of whack) This tape is dated 1987. Watch this tape and your kids will sing along.
