Sesame Street has been the tops when it comes to rockin kid songs since the sixties man!
THE WORD IS NO song is sung by a non muppet, and a pretty cute non puppet at that. Gina, from back in the days when she was a ripped jeans wearing teenager on the show in the eighties. I like it. Holds up.
Others hold up too. MONSTER IN THE MIRROR, TELEPHONE ROCK, the Rolling Stones parody (I Cant Get No) COOPERATION (the Mick Jagger muppet is hillarious!), or the HIP TO BE[a]SQUARE song.
Admittedly there are quite a few missing, as I have over the past years since having a baby worked on collecting as many Sesame Street rock videos as I can... a personal favorite that is missing is the Bruce Springsteen parody Baby We were Born To Add...or the "now I am a Cereal Girl" or even the Alice Cooperish "Theres 18 sandwiches and I dont know what to do"... but this is a great start, containing a dozen or so ROCK songs for kids, and I have no problem tossing in this one, cranking up the volume, and getting down with the Muppets. Cuz they know how to rock the cradle, man.
Also props to the main character here. A DJ known as Jackman Wolf (get it?) who has sort of a secret appetite for eating little piggies. April 27, 2008

My second favourite is The Word Is"No"with Gina and Maria. March 15, 2007
| | | We're rock and roll readers! | |
Jackman Wolf (see?) takes requests from everyone: Bert, Oscar, and (my favorite Street hottie) Gina, for whom Jackman plays both Chrissie and the Hearbeats's masterpieces "You're Alive" and the brilliant "Rock and Roll Readers" ("when we're not onstage we're likely to be/making an appearance at the library"). Other standouts are "(I Can't Get No)Cooperation" by... wait for it... the CobbleStones, and the "No" song featuring Gina and Maria.
No ABCs or counting on this one, just fun fun fun! And best of all... NO ELMO! January 8, 2007
