Found this today by accident~
Isn't it funny when you find something from your past- specifically from your childhood like an old toy, or favorite book, or in my case- an long forgotten video clip from Sesame Street...how it takes you back to those formitive years with so much clarity?
I swear, as I watched this video, I felt as if I was transported back to my parents bedroom (where the only tv was) around 1974...sitting on the hardwood floor- with the old kitchen in view through the door way. It was summer, the back door was open and so were the windows. I was wearing shorts and my hair was in a pony tail. My sister Naomi was next to me- and from this point on in history- "Manamana" became a beloved song that I still hum when I'm in an exceptionally good mood :)
Enjoy :)

Too deep for me I've never been too good at classical.
Now you've done it! Me is gonna be singing that song for the rest of me vacation. Probably have some good memories to go along with it though.

That would explain a lot. When I get tired of listening to someone I run the theme form the Flintstones through my head. Drowns out the inane noise. "Why yes dear, I'm listening to you..."
the pinball clip ~ by the pointer sister. yeah ... i found it on youtube. with so much other old stuff. here's the pinball clip! ... enjoy!
i am such a loser ... i have even found clips of the starting theme music of old showsz like ironside, hawaii 5-0 and dragnet ... too much silly fun!

That song is hilarious after chugging a quart of tequila!!
I have had the same thing happen watching how my boys react to certain things. It is scarry that it brings me back so fast. Time is slipping away so fast.
Huh? is there a summit a formin'???
Like Vietnam flashbacks, only with cartoons...
I remember when you couldn't get away from that song. Fortunately, it was cute then. I'm not sure I can say the same about the 21st Century usage of it in commercials, though.
Your sister was named Naomi? Lemme guess, people were always asking you, "And, what about Naomi?"
Well, since you watched Sesame Street I reckoned you might have watched The Electric Company too.
