6 Comments on “I Love Trash: Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street”
I’m late to the ktcc grouch party. Still not at home I can’t watch this video on my mobile phone but I can still see and hear it in my mind. I grew up with Sesame Street and just loved it. We’ve had American Sesame Street for just a few years until we got a German version. It wasn’t bad but especially the German grouch Oskar was just too polite and not grouchy enough but we saw clips with American grouch Oscar in between including this song, he was a hero for us kids. Whenever I was in Canada I watched American Sesame Street even when I was too old for this TV show. I was lucky to see Buffy Sainte-Marie as part of the American Sesame crew, one of my musical heroes.
Some things just can’t be replicated. There is a spirit in the original which seems to connect with us all. I sing along with Oscar. Grouchy is Oscar. Polite just doesn’t fit. I remember watching the rerun with Buffy. I loved that she was on Sesame Street.

Sesame Street started when I was in the Peace Corps so I had to play catch up when I got home. I love Oscar!

I actually was going to post the Seeger, but I decided to go light with Oscar.
