Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 09/09/2026torn between my love of 'the venture bros' and my knowledge that, no matter how much the show changed, it was probably never gonna stop doing shit like this 030
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026god, i feel so bad panning this one. the actors are clearly having fun, the costumes are incredible, and the camp value is off the scale. sadly, the song itself is a little slight. you might even say it's a 5 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026the song is 0/10 stupid baby pablum, but as a comedy sketch? 10/10. grover and madeline khan are two of the funniest people on the planet and i laughed out loud numerous times rewatching this for the thread. 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026i love what this song is trying to do musically, and of course buffy sainte-marie could sing the phone book and it'd rule. the lyrics, sadly, alternate between very clever and "this'll do." 6/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'sesame street' will often try to chase trends or poke fun at its edgeless nature as a children's program, but here we see evidence that through sheer musical virtuoso and inventive visuals, the show can achieve unthinkable levels of effortless, unimpeachable cool. 12/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026one of those slow, lazy songs 70s 'sesame' loves to play over documentary footage of nature or kids playing or adults working. not really the best member of the genre, but not a terrible listen either. 5/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026god, what a clever little gimmick on this one, as counting higher numbers is correlated with singing at a higher pitch. musically it's hard to object to a "twist and shout" pastiche, and there's lots of lovely muppet chaos as the pace picks up. 9/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026i sang this incessantly as a kid--as a suburbanite, i failed to see the irony in bert's fixation on the city's most common bird. as an adult, i'm effortlessly charmed by oz's interjections of "way out" and "dig this", and of course the puppetry. the song's a little repetitive, but i don't mind. 8/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026the sheer breadth of 'sesame' content over its 4500+ episodes never fails to astound. i'd never heard 'ten turtles' before researching this project and am happy to welcome a new bud luckey diddy into my life. a fun, bouncy little tune with lots of fun rhymes. 8/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'welcome' works better than 'sing' as bilingual call-and-response, though luis is trapped trying to condense bob's lines in the short moments where bob catches his breath, and some lines are too long for luis to translate at all. catchy tune, though. 7/10 (also bob enchiladas doesn't have a t in it) 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026i believe this is what the kids today call "penis music". lyrically it's is just "the hokey pokey" but slower and less involved. really doesn't help that this era's snuffy looks like he's seen things he can't unsee and sounds like his lungs barely work. 0/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'ladybug's picnic' is just plain catchy, energetic and fast-paced with fun use of limited animation, and an undeniable folksy twang. not the best thing ever, but hard to imagine how one might improve it. 9/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026effortlessly clever with a punchline every line verse, held up by impeccable comedic timing, wonderfully skuzzy animation, and bud luckey at his bud luckey-ist. maybe i'm biased because it was my favorite as a child, but this might be the show's first unimpeachable comedy number. 10/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'c is for cookie' is another song that's literally just the chorus over and over. i guess it fills the classic 'sesame' brief of being an ad for a letter, so i should judge it as a commercial jingle rather than a song. and in that respect, it's kind of flawless! 10/10. i guess. whatever 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026youtu.be/VI8WIvAthMI&... the original is a fun interaction, but as a song, i'm sorry to say that the constant stops and starts for translations kills its momentum, and i think its innumerable monolingual ballad covers might actually be better. that said, MAN does jaime sánchez have pipes. 7/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026on a show that so often extolls the virtues of ordinary things--like trash or duckies--it seems almost sacrilegious to have a song about ignoring the ordinary phobiles of the sidewalk in favor of chasing rainbows and shooting stars. doesn't help that the music doesn't capture a sense of wonder. 1/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026this one's mostly kinda boring, seeing as it's a solid 95% chorus with a spoken word bit in the middle. a c-rate "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" with none of that song's fun or intensity. 2/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'i love trash' is another of those "everyone knows that one part" songs i had to revisit. that one part wears out its welcome pretty quick, but kudos for spinney for trying to vary his performance. the verses are also a lot of fun. dig the harmonica. 8/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026what is there to say about 'bein' green' that's not already been said? i think an underrated thing about it is that it's confident enough in its poetry to frequently eschew rhymes. feels less like a song than a very lyrical poem. basic of me but i gotta give it a 10/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026having to listen to 'rubber duckie' all the way through for the first time in a dog's age gave me a newfound respect for it. yeah, the first verse is iconic, but the chorus is criminally overlooked. that said, it's kinda bogged down by overuse of slide whistle. 7/10. 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026i guess this one's cheating a little. is playing a motif as a character enters commemorating that motif? whatever. this song's nothing. the rhymes are sweaty and the tune is unmemorable. the sketch is just a coupla muppets lazily bobbing around on a blank background. 0/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'the king of eight' has wonderful gravely henson vocals, a bouncy tune, a great punchline, and of course exemplary stop motion that feels like mary blair made a cuckoo clock. lyrics get kind of repetitive, perhaps befitting a 'sesame' song about a single number. 7/10, ironically 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026similarly it feels kind of scandalous to have gone three specials without giving 'people in your neighborhood' a lookin. 7/10--similarly pleasant and unassuming, but infinitely remixable in a way 'one of these things' lacks. 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'one of these things' is so effortlessly iconic it was kind of bizarre to realize the show took so long to commemorate it. it feels almost pointless to try and rate it. nevertheless i'm gonna give it a 6/10--pleasant but unextraordinary. a pleasant workman of a song. 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'jazz numbers' is kind of a primordial 'pinball number count', and it's easy to see why it got lost in the shuffle once the goat turned up. musically it's kind of cacophonous and hard to follow, though the animation is pleasantly surreal. 3/10 110
Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026'numerosity' the song is mostly just a lot of spoken word intermittently punctuated by kids screeching. as a sketch, it relies on the sort of continual escalation that causes a time crunch--a compilation of all of them runs sixteen minutes. iconic, but easy to see why it seldom got a look in. 4/10 110

Wack'd 🏳️⚧️ @wackd.bsky.social · 28/08/2026if we're having this debate again i might as well post my take on it: that frank n furter's many crimes are not to be taken literally, but rather as a device to explore how the queer community can be real dicks to each other but at least we're better than the straights 162
