OMG!!! This literally just poppedd in my head while cooking! Here I am in 2021 singing the body dance as a grown ass adult 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's crazy the little things you remember from childhood.

[@Kpenny300]

Me too.. I was like I wonder if it.... And it is on RUclips.. I was 6 or 7 when this dropped.... I thought this is what hip hop was🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AttractionSpot]

I remember this! Now I'm 32 boy there has the time gone!

[@Jesussaves.7777]

I am blasting this in the car right now and that base tho lol

[@LibraLee88]

Ima do that too 😆

[@katielawrence5420]

I love MC Lyte.

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

i like this tune so much!

[@HALFTHEMIKE]

This has replayed in my brain for years - for some reason I never thought to look it up until recently LOL

[@MrRknight2012]

CLASSIC.....31 years old now and I remember this. I might shed a tear lol

[@williegladney9311]

Watching sesame street all through elementary why is the only thing I remember lol

[@xtremehardy388]

Core memory unlocked

[@nickcutillo621]

Seriously, when I was like 3, I thought that it was the “Potty Dance”. 😂😂😂

[@petermaranian4515]

Same lol🤣🤣🤣

[@deuceloosley]

Yeah, that's my jam!

[@MuzikJunky]

Best hip-hop moment on the Street, period. Peace.

[@leannehaddock6254]

Cookie monster rapping about healthy food is the best.

[@MuzikJunky]

@@leannehaddock6254, but the musical track is wack. This is real hip-hop! Peace.

[@lyndelljones5483]

I agree with both your comments. Cookie Monster rapping was cute but the music was too corny and White made. MC Lyte was soulful. Especially the Brothers dancing.

[@marcustrice3246]

There were a few others. When Queen Latifah did" that's the letter O with Prairie Dawn and Monster. And when Kid N Play did a rap song with The count.

Now, this is what we're talking about, when Sesame Street was da bomb!!

[@charlieblossom956]

They still are brother

[@LostsouL818thevalley]

I remember watching this when it aired with my lil baby and I still play it for her lol

[@hellfire8883]

Hehe I saw this when it was first broadcast in the earlier 90's I always thought they were saying "body head body head" not body dance. Lol me and my brother always thought this was the funniest damn song.

[@DaewonIsrael899]

I just woke up out my sleep thinking about this song 🎵 😅

[@diamndz1021]

super off topic but the way it's edited/how her voice cut off at 1:31 😆

[@schupes]

I was just singing “the body dance” in my head and thought to search and see if it’s really a Sesame Street song. I remember the chorus but not the video at all lol. Good stuff tho ☺️

[@deadafter2]

Same!!!!!

[@MrRknight2012]

CLASSIC

[@yikes_lazzy]

OH MY GOSH LOVE IT

[@phastedious]

I saw this when it debut on Sesame Street way back when. Now that baby I was babysitting (my eldest child) is now 27-years old. Boy, where has the time gone.

[@davidjohnverdillo6155]

This is from 1991.

[@Tekirai]

This makes me think of my uncle cause he was dancing this with me when I was baby

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Reminds me of Paper Plate Rap Song by Doodle Do

[@lyndelljones5483]

I love the way the Brother in black is bopping his head at 0:20, and the way the Brother in the yellow shirt jumped up high and landed so smooth kicking out at 0:36. The kids are cute skipping off to the beat at the end 1:38. I really enjoyed this.

[@wizkid8205]

Dam I'm old

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Lyrically, it sounds like a variation of "Head, shoulders, knees & toes" and so forth.

[@haruyasumi616]

I was a fan of Lyte at the time. I was really conflicted by this.

[@kenrutherford1109]

This aired on Sesame Street in the early 90s

[@DavidVBBMLeniPrayForMikeUkrain]

No, 1991.

[@Buster-jf8fz]

Who are these kids in that video?

[@xander2698]

my mom would get mad at me when i called this song "the potty dance"

[@saberwolfe6363]

Even when I was a little kid I thought this whole bit was cringey AF
