    This video is so good this track is now affectionately known as ‘orange crayon song’ to my 3 year old son. He adores this track and asks for it often. I used to dance around the kitchen to this when I was pregnant with him so I think he identifies with it on a subconscious level too, education starts early. Great video.

    Ahhh!!! The old Sesame Street animations!! I have searched for more of these. Thank you. Like seeing a distant dream that I wasn’t sure if ever happened or not. One thing I find oddly haunting about those skits is the use of dark space in the back ground of the moving pieces. That detail has stayed with me in my dreams and more or less my subconscious ever since I was a kid in the 80s watching these on television.

    Its always a good feeling seeing classic Sesame Street clips get their deserved recognition as honest to god masterpieces. The artistry and artists brought on for the show have hardly been matched, not to mention the lessons taught and curiosity fueled. Music pairs amazingly, but thats expected with Boards of Canada. Masters of their own.

    I've always associated BOC with anime in a really weird way, mostly because I grew up with all those lofi hip hop, downtempo, and chillout bumps that used to play on Adult Swim in the early 2000's, and Boards of Canada would occasionally be played right before the commercial breaks during a show like Samurai Champloo or something. And then someone made a fan video for Skyliner on UA-cam a loong time ago set to images from Spirited Away and the summery scenery just seemed to fit so well and remind me of Nujabes, Yoshihisa Hirano, or Susumu Hirasawa. So because of that weird association, the old man and the children's voices in this come off as English dub actors in an anime to me. I don't know what it is. Just sounds like a tiny old Japanese man watching kids play on a pier while eating an orange in a rundown part of town with a destroyed mech floating in the water. Feels like it could be something Hirasawa would have put together for Paranoia Agent right before something bizarre and creepy happens.
