We’ve been watching the Old School Sesame Street videos at school (while I get the cots out for nap), and when the ‘Capital I’ song came on, I froze – mid-cot-getting. The harmony on that song really creeped me out as a kid, and for a moment I had a little trouble breathing.
I showed it to Lloyd on YouTube, and immediately following it is the sorrowful and haunting tune about *sob* lonely lowercase n. Sheesh, no wonder I have trouble anthopomorphising everything now as an adult. Isn’t that right, computer?
Brad says
But n gets a friend in the end. A boy n even. The happy ending doesn’t do it for you?
Dang it, now I have the number song stuck in my head again. One, two, three, FOUR, five, six seven eight, NINE, ten, e-LEV-en, twelve…
Lauren says
I dunno -- I just watched the pilot for “V” (thank you, hulu) and that alien ‘n’ is probably a lizard ‘n’ who is part of a plot to enslave and then eat all the lowercase letters.
Lloyd says
I think the happy ending had more to do with a psychotic break than any actual happy ending. The give-away is the fear that the woodland creatures show at the arrival of the rocket-ship.
deanne says
I thought for sure I was going to come hang with n and they’d be a word.
Karla says
I thought that was going to happen to!
Lloyd says
Jumping the gun a little bit today, Karla?
Lauren says
Forgive him.
Karla says
Wait, what? What are you talking about?
deanne says
Yeah… what did he mean by that?
Lauren says
Karla has been waiting until the day after a post and then sneakily tagging it ‘cleavage’. Apparently she did it early today. I actually had noticed that it was in the tag cloud, and took steps to remove it.
I have the ultimate power!
Lauren says
Lloyd said that I sound mad, but I’m not -- just crazed with editing power. 🙂
Karla says
I know that those people with cat cleavage can’t be mad about cleavage in general… 😉
Christina says
I like the capital I melody…..sounds like a “Mama’s & Papa’s” tune.
Karla says
Did you get rid of all the cleavage tags?
Lauren says
Yes! I’m on to your sneaky little game. I thought Kristi was doing it, but I see now that you can’t be trusted.
Lloyd says
I only noticed about 4 days ago when I saw all the cleavage where I’m not used to seeing it. But I didn’t rat you out.
Karla says
It took you guys long enough… I’ve been doing it ever since that discussion a few weeks ago!
Ha! Saw cleavage where you’re not used to seeing it. 🙂
Peggy says
I thought lower case n was going to combine with alien n to form m….and m would have many friends.
I like the Capital I song too…it’s quite snappy compared to my childhood song that can still cause me to wince and cover my neck.

What I really want to hear one more time is the song about the ladybug’s picnic.
Lauren says
Your wish is my command, my dear! Here!
