Long live Bert and Ernie!
You'll allow me a moment of great sentimentality, but when I was a little kid, I lived for "Sesame Street"—especially Bert and Ernie, the in-house comedian-straightman duo. I loved Bert and Ernie so much that one year, when I was maybe five or six, my father and I marched in the town's Halloween parade dressed in Bert and Ernie heads that my mother made for us. (I wonder if she still has them somewhere back home.) Anyway, I found this little video clip recently, and boy did it take me back!!!
One lovely Friday night two summers ago, I actually found a little cartoon book with this song in an Annapolis bookstore—and I haven't been able to find it since!
But here are a few other Bert and Ernie clips for your enjoyment—and mine! :)
Let me just go on record by saying that Jim Henson was a genius. His work was groundbreaking, he left this world before his time, and he is sorely missed. But thankfully his legacy still lives on.
