Found Footage: Sesame Street does the iPod dance

by David Winograd Oct 1st 2009 at 12:00PM


Big Bird, Grover Elmo, Cookie Monster, Snuffy (my bad) and the Sesame Street gang have been cool since I left my crib for the big-boy bed. Here they give some love to their favorite music player. Not too shabby for a bunch of 40-year-old dudes (except Elmo, who is young enough to be hip to the iPod). Snuffy isn't in this one as they couldn't find earbuds to fit. My mistake, I guess they could.

Honestly, I surprised that Apple hasn't used this.

Sunny days to all.

Thanks to Chris Hollomon for the tip!

Well it'll be used in Sesame Street's 40th season-and Sesame Workshop has done a great job of a iPod style video about a alphabet letter.

Sean's post was brought to you by the letter 'a' which doesn't belong in "definitely". I guess some people watched too much TV and didn't FINASH school.

How do they sync the music on their iPods?

Is that a new feature?

"Honestly, I surprised that Apple hasn't used this."

I read that as "Honestly, I'm surprised that Apple hasn't sued this", which seems far more likely!

Actually, Mr. Winograd -- if that is your real name -- I'm not sure this Snuffy-snub is survivable.

It may require some sort of video apology.

Cog,
If that's your real name...I'd LOVE to be clever enough to do something like that. Now how do you get picture-in-picture into a YouTube video...?
