1. My sons love this cd! We start the music at bathtime and they come running - my older son (2 1/2) even knows most of the words and plays along with the songs.

1. These are the same songs I sang with my now 30 year old daughter and her son loves them too. "Pat Pat Patty Pat" is great for a 10 month old and older to try the motions and develop coordination.



2. This is a must-have for parents who grew up with these songs, and can now share them with their kids! My 10-month old son lights up as soon as he hears "Rubber Duckie" or "Pat Pat Patty Pat". Not a bad song on this disc.



3. My twin 2 1/2-year-old boys are really into Sesame Street right now, and we picked up this CD used at Hastings. It was definitely worth the money! The Pat-Pat-Patty-Pat song is hilarious. There are hand motions to go with it (pat your tummy, wiggle your finger, shake your leg). My boys have to hear this song every time they go to bed. It is histerical hearing them trying to say "wiggle wiggle".



4. I used to listen to these songs when I was a kid, so I had to buy this for our daughter. She enjoys it too, although I think she may still be a bit young to fully understand the words. If you are a Sesame Street fan, you won't be disappointed!



5. I LOVED Bert and Ernie when I was a kid, my best friend and I always said I was Bert and she was Ernie! But this CD is fun and happy just as they were on the show. I especially loved the Patty Pat song bc it's very fast and cute for the kids. My son loves listening to these CDs and he's only 10 mos old! Great buy for your baby, toddler and preschooler (and the kid in you!)

1. 
   I disagree with the last review. I think it is wrong to enjoy music without paying for it. If you teach special education preschool or have preschool children, these songs just can't be surpassed for teaching counting and beginning addition. My kids especially love the Octopus Blues which is a counting song.



2. The videos for many of the songs on this CD are easily found on Youtube so unless your kids (or you) find some songs you really love you're probably better off passing on the CD. The title track is really the only one that is particularly catchy. The Cookie Monster song is almost creepy.
   
   Interestingly, the LP version has a few "Beetles" songs like "Letter B" and "Hey, Food" which didn't make the CD.

1. I like all the songs on this CD, except for one. "I Wan't to Hold Your Ear" is the exception. It's sung by Bert in the style of a Cole Porter love ballad, but the words are creepy. It makes Bert seem like a serial killer, as he describes taking apart his loved one and holding various body parts. What were they thinking when they let this song get on the CD? When I hear my son singing it in the back seat, it creeps me out.



2. I bought this CD basically just to have "Letter B", one of my favorites from childhood. Unfortunately, the version on the CD is not the version from the show with the muppet Beetles singing the song. I don't know where the CD version comes from, but it is horrible - barely even follows the Let It Be melody. Likewise other songs on the album, which seem to be take-offs only in title. Very disappointed.



3. This a fun CD, even for adults. I love kids music that isn't TOO much like kid's music such as other obnoxouis purple characters. This CD is funny and great bc the songs are based off popular songs of the 60s, 70, 80s and even 90s. (Rebel L? That's hilarious!!) My son is only 10 mos old and loves it. This is our "in the car" CD!



4. This one took some getting used to. Most of the songs are takeoff of an original famous song or genre. None follows the original music exactly and at first I found this quite disconcerting. The words were funny, but I kept expecting the original tune. I still feel this way about some. "Hey Food" doesn't work because "Hey Jude" is one of the great songs of all time and it's annoying to hear an inferior takeoff. "Let It Be" is less great but still better than "Letter 'B'". But some of the takeoffs are masterpieces in their own rights. Forgive me, but I almost like "Rebel 'L'" better than the original, which I adore. And the genre parodies (Spector-ish girl groups, a generic Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley song etc ) are easier to enjoy. I'm glad I persisted.



5. My son loves everything Sesame Street. This CD is no exception. It's cute with a fun beat for kids.

4 comments about Count's Countdown.

1. Purchased for a two year old as entertainment while traveling in the car. After one time hearing it, he was asking for "the count" while shopping with mom.



2. As a diehard Muppet fan, I've found that (until recently) Muppet music is extremely hard to come by, so I acquired most of the Sesame Street catalogue. This one, by far, has to be one of my favorites. The Count always got these wonderful songs that were educational and evoked Old World charm. It was hard to believe that he was almost shelved because the writers of "Sesame Street" initially disliked his character. However, the incredible Jerry Nelson made the character work and it shows here. Highlights include "The Song Of The Count" (I could imagine Jerry having a phenomenal time in that recording session), "The First Day Of School", "One Potato", "Count Up To Nine", and the hilarious "My Fair Lady" send-up, "I Could Have Counted All Night", with a rare "Sesame Street" appearance by "Muppet Show" regular Louise Gold. All in all, it adds up to von, von terrific Sesame Street CD! Ah ha ha ha ha, I love it! *thunder and lightning*



3. I love the Count. He was my favorite growing up and I can see my little 22 month old girl catching the count craze. Batty Bat is the best. My little girl gets so tickled at me doing the dance. Wonderful Cd.



4. As always, Sesame Street hits yet another home run with The Count's Countdown. With old favorites that bring back happy childhood memories, this cassette also has recent hits, that only Sesame Street can produce, that appeal to children and adults alike. For example, "Little Miss Count Along" has a SpinDoctors feel. ;o)I use this in my Kindergarden math class-- the kids love it and so do I!
