    I CANNOT express to you the feelings this film gives me. Its part of some of my earliest memories as a toddler. I was COMPLETELY entralled watching it when it would come on and TOTALLY excited when theyd randomly show it. From age 3 to about 7. Thank you so much for posting this. I STILL love it.

    I can't believe I finally found this.
    It brought tears to my eyes.
    I have sung this damn song my whole life.

    This is a masterpiece. I remember this from Sesame Street. As a standalone short it is great. And such a beautiful song also. The baby was always cute.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Rhodes Piano is so awesome with it's warm bell-tones. This song proves it. Kudos to whoever was playing it!

    @gregthegroove 15 років тому +7

    Its really amazing, just how much you remember when you see these like 25 years later. Your brain as a kid is just like a sponge. It amazes me that I still get these feelings when I hear the song or see something as detailed as the grills on the front of the truck. I cant believe I still remember some 30 years later. WOW

    I remember this clip solely for the strange music... It popped in my head tonight and I remembered hearing it when I was a really little kid and watched a lot of Sesame Street. So weird that this stuck with me... And that I would actually find it on UA-cam... Haha

  • @seldov
    @seldov 18 років тому +2

    The three-note "Milk... mi-ilk! ...milk" trill from this clip has stayed with me my entire life since the age of about 4. I'm glad some other people seem to remember it!

  • @lindenprof
    @lindenprof 16 років тому +2

    What a beautiful primordial memory for me--to see this after so many years, it's amazing. I have been telling my brother about this for years, but, until now, have not been able to find it anywhere. What an interesting musical arrangement--it is a very well done piece of jazz. Thank you.

  • @KrazyKittyTailz
    @KrazyKittyTailz 12 років тому +2

    More than 30 years later, a wellspring of nostalgia (& tears) have overcome this here Gen-Xer! This indelible SS short's score and vocals remain as hauntingly beautiful today as they were in the 70's.....almost lullaby-esque. It's very amazing & heartening to read how this clip touched so many as it harkens us back to a much simpler era. And seeing the innocent baby having her bottle still wells me up inside :) Thanks very much for posting this classic!

  • @marybeth77
    @marybeth77 11 років тому +3

    I've finally found the two songs that have been in my head for literally 30 years--this one and the sugar beets one. I have occasionally had those recycling through my head and have never actually seen the clips again. I never actually looked for them before. Glad I found them :)

    Wow...my eyes are still stinging after 10 min. of weeping.
    It's the baby and the music that literally rips your heart out...still teary as I'm typing this.
    Hats off to the the late Jim Henson and Co.
    Such a brillant, talented man that had such vision and love behind it all.
    He's still missed to this day.
    T.V. has gone to hell in a handbasket over the years.
    To the little girl in this clip: You've touched our hearts and hope life today is beautiful for you.

    wow... I was just talking about this the other night. for some reason, this is one segment from sesame street that has stuck in my head for the last 30 years. the bit is pretty much as I remembered it. Over the years, I've always sang this little milk, milk song when anyone mentions milk. crazy. thanks so much f0r posting. and the music's killer!

  • @chambert
    @chambert 18 років тому +2

    I remember this very well from back in the mid 70's. I love the jesture the baby made at the end. Since there were glass milk bottles, this was probably filmed at the tail end of the milk man era.

  • @Mysterycat74
    @Mysterycat74 14 років тому +1

    WOW. My sister and I were OBSESSED with this Sesame Street segment back in the day! (like 1979 maybe?) and Now, watching it 30 years later I have NO idea why! We would literally sit and PRAY that this clip would play whenever we watched Sesame street! When it would come on we'd be ALL excited! I think we got a kick out of how the singer is just all "Milk...MIIIIIIIILK....Milk...MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILK!!!" and the baby crying was our favorite part too. NO clue why!

  • @Cmonster2
    @Cmonster2 16 років тому +1

    I love this. I agree with Afansorge-Almost in tears over here......
    My brother and I would do the little cow call the dude does in the beginning to some backyard dogs-and they'd actually come running. Not to mention the composition: fender rhodes, basson piano, flute-Ohhh the drama. I love it.
    Thank you

  • @ottieandeddie
    @ottieandeddie 17 років тому +2

    OK, this is crazy. For 25 years whenever someone has milk or something I sometimes sing "milk, MIIIKL, milk". I never remembered where I saw this and I just landed on this today. FINALLY, some closure. I haven't seen this in 30 years.

  • @MazAMaTaz
    @MazAMaTaz 13 років тому +1

    Reportedly, when I watched this as a baby, I would become hypnotized. Afterwards, I would toddle into the kitchen, start hanging on the fridge door, and cry out for MEEEEELK. Now whenever I have a glass of milk this song instantly comes to mind. What a wonderful song.

  • @GrayEyes123
    @GrayEyes123 15 років тому +1

    This is one of the most memorable segments on Sesaem Street for me. It was that music and the screaming "milk" with the voice that sounded like a voice of a possessed kid from a horror movie screaming for milk lol.

  • @Groovytello
    @Groovytello 15 років тому +2

    LOLOL!!! OMG I sing this song EVERY time someone mentions milk...or if I'm taking some out of the fridge...but I totally forgot the video! I decided to share this with my bf for him to understand why I sang "milk, miiiilk milk" and I almost died when I saw this! Thank God for UA-cam :D

  • @MrJamieMurph4141969
    @MrJamieMurph4141969 10 років тому +11

    HEARTBREAKING though this film always was for me(still is)I just HAD to see it again--after all the times I have watched a SS UA-cam video, and have seen this one, in list of "recommended videos," I knew I could not resist it any longer. I forgot that the film opens in the wintertime--it seems to be winter, anyway, but I did remember the man calling,"Kitty, kitty, kitty!" to feed the cats some milk. And YES, of course I remembered the DESPERATE BABY, in latter part of film, CRYING for her MILK!!! "Milk,milk, milk-SO GOOD, SO WARM, AND WHITE! Makes everything ALL RIGHT!!!" And it SURE DOES, especially as far as babies are concerned. The heartbreaking part, of course, is the little desperate baby, CRYING OUT FOR HER MILK! But, fortunately, like in most movies, everything works out, in the end. Saw this many a time, in the 1970s; thanks for posting.

  • @DontCallMeChrissy

  • @ScottNapolitan
    @ScottNapolitan Рік тому +1

    I remember this clip from my childhood, and I was too young to have all the details straight. I never forgot it featured a baby, but now that I have it put together, it's a heartbreaker seeing the hungry and/or thirsty baby needing more milk, but somehow the milkman sensed it, maybe the voice of God alerted him, and he came to the rescue. I just hate to think she was left by herself.
    Such a cutie pie!

  • @tpirman1982
    @tpirman1982 18 років тому

  • @wolphintv

    I looked very closely at the scene where the bottles are being filled up in the bottling facility. If you look closely at 3:56, it's Romberger's Modern Dairy.

    I remember watching this one a lot in the mid to late 70's. The woman singing "milk..miiiiillk milk" is etched in my brain so deep that when I saw this one, it was like I saw it yesterday, although it's been well over 23 years since I last saw it.

  • @datsik
    @datsik 17 років тому

    haha man, you can't help but admire the editing on this video.. clearly they were having a laugh with the idea of a huge tanker of milk coming to the rescue of a hungry baby. You can even see the driver crack a smile as he jogs round to the back of the tanker, and runs the hose up to what appears to be a house door. Cut to baby crying. Hilarious stuff. The whole thing is just so magical.

    A lot of people have commented on the music, and someone even asked who composed it. It was my father, Robert Dennis. He is still active in New York, particularly in chamber and choral music.
    He also did the number painter segments. On the milk and on the number painter segments, he can be heard on the keyboards.

    I was afraid I'd never see this again. I remember seeing this as a child in the 70's and thinking the guy driving the truck was the little girl's dad (maybe he was?). As an adult I drove an 18 wheel milk truck hauling milk from dairies in central Arizona into Phoenix for a few years and I recognize the steps the driver in the video follows as he picks up the milk. Gotta love that old Detroit Diesel roar as he takes off to get the baby her milk! I'll be back to watch this frequently.
