You put 'em all together and they spell 'plop'... ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Now it's time for 'Sesame Street' to pay tribute to Plop Day - even though this is June, and Plop Day is in November. (Live every day like it's your last!)

In the '70s, the ol' Ses seemed obsessed with words ending in 'op'. I always liked these words, because 'op' is itself a funny sound. (Wasn't there a set of miniature plastic traffic signs for use with Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars that had a snappy name like Signy Ops or Oppy Signs or something?)

Anybip, around 1970, 'Sesame Street' made this memorable musical segment all about 'op' words:

But they missed one very important word. Can you guess what it is?

'PLOP'!!!

Those doggone hippie Muppets! How can they miss such an important word? What is America coming to?

I guess kids had to wait for 'The Electric Company' for more 'op' words.
