'Sesame Street' fights Allowed Clouds ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

No "shoeless persons."

No commercial photography.

No bubbling (at least in Singapore).

No sweaters that are not gray or hunter green.

And the word is NO!!!

That was a song from 'Sesame Street' that seemed to take on the growing proliferation of Allowed Clouds. The song had sort of a Cyndi Lauper-like feel, and the sketch was designed to look like a music video.

I was too old for the ol' Ses in 1990 when this catchy song reportedly debuted, but America was already becoming one big Allowed Cloud even then.

The song is performed by 'Sesame Street' legends Maria and Gina, and the clip has numerous appearances by many Muppet members of the 'Sesame Street' kick-ass crew. Even Bert and Ernie find out how inescapable Allowed Clouds are, while other lovable Muppets disobey the very rules being sung about:



Ironically, this clip had been yanked from YouPube before because that version included the Nickelodeon logo, which caused feewinghurt. So that must have been a big no-no in and of itself.

All together now:

No stinkin'
No cussin'
No thinkin'
No nothin'...
