No, you couldn't - I'm normally not into the Goth Lolita thing. ;)

Well, how could you resist? She put one of her victims into the freezer, obviously to consume later. ;D
The 80s really were that weird, eh?

Actually I posted a wrong video - there is one with a slightly longer footage before the song, where they introduce him as the "Shoe Fairy". :p
Shel Silverstein was a brilliant man.

CdM's house
A couple weeks back I also went through Sesame Street things I grew up with. Part of ours was home produced, part were puppet sketches and cartoons bought from the U.S. version. Looking at it today, some of the scenes are still very surreal and some of the dialogues (esp. Ernie/Bert, or the classical here/there thing) makes you wonder just what the heck people were smoking back in the day.
Today's kids tv is so harmless by comparison. :(

Ours was the last generation before kids got pansied by overprotective parents and the new media.

I listened to an interview with the guy who is a sort of "Sesame Street biographer" recently, and apparently Bert and Ernie were a direct creative outlet for Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and were caricatures of them. No wonder they are some of the best characters in the series. :D
Also, a big reason why Sesame Street got sorta "dumbed down" is because it has began to cater to a younger and younger audience as the years passed (largely due to Barney the Dinosaur, who was much dumber but apparently started to seriously threaten the Sesame Street merchandize sales, because it was addressed to younger kids who loved him, and as they grew they would have become a "captive audience" rather than switch to Sesame Street).
So, similarly to Copernicus' monetary law, bad entertainment pushes good entertainment out of the market, sadly.
