Who knew a song about inviting people to a colorful, friendly street could also be seen as a resentment to growing up and having to leave the things you loved as a child behind. It's like if a show played the Mister Rogers theme as a wistful call to be accepted in a world that looks at someone differently.
I dunno. This doesn't make me want to be a kid again, but I do want to wrap Kid Me in a hug and tell him that everything is going to be okay. It's melancholy, but in a way I didn't expect.
this is a comment from @TheaterRaven on the scrubs scene with this song but I thought it was relevant here as well. As a child, you see "Sesame Street" as a fun show that just teaches you your 123s and ABCs. It isn't until you grow up and look back on it that you realize it went much deeper than that and, for many of us, it represents an innocent time in our lives that we all inevitably pass through. We have to, it's part of growing up, but for the rest of our lives, there's that part of us that secretly always wants to return to it. In short, we're all left asking, "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?"
In the real version of the song, they're asking if you know how to get to Sesame Street the place. Here, he's asking how to get back to that part of your life.
That kills me everytime. I've watched it for the full way the first time during quarantine (mind you I am 17) and omg it's maybe the best show ever. Scrubs is so fantastic man
@@umamidadump2808 that's the first place I heard this, other than the original - which I never watched SS nor scrubs back in the day, and I'm 43 next week. Saw this episode weeks ago, ended up having to search for it here and so glad I found it!
As a child you go to seasame street and learn everything you need to know to be a good person. As you grow oldler you leave seasame street and venture out into the world and along the way you steadily forget how to..get there
...That transition when you "grow up" and leave sesame street.. and then one day you suddenly realize you forgot how to get there... "can you tell me how to get... how to get to sesame street?"
I loved this episode on scrubs it did break my heart at the end when J.D cried. However I still can’t get over the joke he said in the beginning of the show. “Yea I grew up in the streets, oh no not the hood Sesame Street” I still laugh about it.
That's one of the best Scrubs moments: This song is playing while Denise is turning around to J.D. and sees him crying... i love this moment so much i wanna sleep with it
Had to come listen to this again after hearing the news that Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer and voices of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, passed away. Once we reach adulthood, we spend the rest of our lives trying to get back to the innocence of Sesame Street. Thanks for helping us try to find the way, Mr. Spinney. Rest in peace and blessed be.
Listening to this as an adult...having gone through life's ups and down and thinking back to when I would hear this and sing along as a kid...really hits you hard. Puts the innocence, opportunity, and potential that we had has kids and wasted as adults into perspective.
Aww what a beautiful song! Who knew Sesame Street could be made sad?! I just see JD crying when I hear this song, when he says that Sesame Street teaches you that it's OK to cry, bless him.
I love that so many people find their own meaning in this song. For me, I feel it in my soul, I was forced to raise myself, often taken advantage of, and far to often manipulated and lied to. So when Iisten to and sing this version of the song it feels like lamentation to my childhood, how I wish I could go back and get back the time that was stolen from me for the gain of others. I feel safe to feel exposed and even cry for the crime committed upon me and my innocence. Thank you all who open up in these comments, it takes courage to do so. Be kind to yourselves ❤️
Listening to this version of the song is like a cathartic release. I can't help but she a tear. thank you Joshua Radin and thank you Scrubs. thank you for such a magnificient show.
I think the more it listen to this amazing song the more I tear up, for me it's about trying to find your innocence that perfect place that seems so distant and hard to get to no matter
Thank you.. so, so much for this song. When I first heard this on Scrubs I immediately stopped watching the marathon to find an mp3 of this. I have found it. Blessings.
First time i heard this song on scrubs, i just fell in love with it because it fit the moment so well and it was so sad! I love joshua radin and this cover is just amazing, there's no other word for it.
The scene in "My ABCs" was so, so sad (a father of an 8-year old boy dying of lung cancer); this is where I first heard this song (this version anyway). This was a bittersweet bed for that. Zach's (Dr. Dorian) lines told about how we learned most of what we needed to know in life...play nice and such...from "Sesame Street."
i cried when i heard this as it was on scrubs ( the best tv show created ) but it takes an amazing musician to beable to make this song into such an emotional piece to fit with the pain of certain circumstances :) x
"And then I realized why I thought about Sesame Street all day. In a way, you can learn everything you have to know from watching it as a kid. Like, always play nice... always try your hardest... and even, it's okay to cry."
This song is so powerful. He's just talking about how he wishes for a much more simple time. Much like when you're a child. No jobs or schooling, no fights with friends and no relationships. Just toys and your mum and dad, when things were so simple... I sometimes wish I was a kid again.
When I first heard this i cried I was a scared, depression suicidal teen. I'm now planning my wedding. And I can't think of a better song to walk down the Isle to. Because my partner helped me find happiness and purpose; he helped me get to sesame Street.
who knew that sesame street could make someone cry oh bless jd when he crys and seseme stree it so kool it teached me so much im so glad i watched it as a little girl
"I grew up on the street. No, not the Hood - the Sesame Street."
schuylersnarrative I was going to like your comment but it’s at 69.
Me too
Scrubr are the best
Always play nice, always try your hardest and it's ok to cry.
Ive been playing nice, I’m always trying my hardest....I’m crying right now....
Scrubs
scrubs saved my life
thanks for all
and a OP fan; a man of culture!
@@keabonhall9046 Exactly, Scrubs and One Piece. It doesnt get better than those two!
@@keabonhall9046 thank you sir
@@MarcoDToon thats right :)
Me too man. Me too.
This song sounds like... "I want my childhood back. I'm tired of being an adult."
Just about every adult can relate this.

Absolutely Agree! I’m near 50 years old and this takes me back to a simple time of life.

...He takes one of the happiest songs on the planet, and makes it a tragic masterpiece. This man deserves an award.
The ultimate theme song of growing old.
Right?
Yup!! Hitting middle age & this song’s mood nails it. I’m saying goodbye to my young soul.
theridgeman2 😢
The 8th season of Scrubs was pure beauty. Still grateful ABC brought it back after NBC messed it up
Best line in the episode: And then I realized why I thought about Sesame Street all day.
That kills me everytime. I've watched it for the full way the first time during quarantine (mind you I am 17) and omg it's maybe the best show ever. Scrubs is so fantastic man

lol
This is probably one of the most depressing things ive ever read.
This is so deep man, true as hell brother
It's comments like these that make me wish i could frane it on a wall because it's so deep and true.
Truthfully, I don't think I'd be welcome there any longer. I wouldn't fit in.
2022 and this is still heartbreaking 💔
Yeah

Not to mention we lost Emilio Delgado (a.k.a. Luis), and most recently, Bob McGrath.

Scrubs brought me to this 🥰 beautiful song with such a deep meaning I can completely relate to as an adult

You're never too old for Sesame Street
beautiful.
And I loved My ABC's it was a fantastic episode.
this version will always break my heart.
For those wondering: This song appears in my ABC's (season 8 epi. 5). One of the most beautiful endings to an episode..
I don't see that depth of emotion in shows or movies nowadays. Bill Lawrence along with the writers, entire team and the cast did a brilliant job.
Listening to this version of the song is like a cathartic release. I can't help but she a tear. thank you Joshua Radin and thank you Scrubs. thank you for such a magnificient show.
I think the more it listen to this amazing song the more I tear up, for me it's about trying to find your innocence that perfect place that seems so distant and hard to get to no matter
Thank you.. so, so much for this song. When I first heard this on Scrubs I immediately stopped watching the marathon to find an mp3 of this. I have found it.

heh...mp3 lol
I think this really shows how a cheery song can be made sad just with tone. Well done again to Mr Radin
And vice versa. Hey Ya by Outkast
Think of "Sesame Street" as a metaphor for heaven and it makes this song even sweeter...
Chills, every time.
Slow a happy song down, turn it to entirely piano and get a guy or girl who can do a voice like this. Instantly becomes sad as all hell.
Bonus points if you change it from a major key to a minor key. That has about a 50/50 chance of either being sad or creepy
One of the most relaxing songs ever.
First time i heard this song on scrubs, i just fell in love with it because it fit the moment so well and it was so sad! I love joshua radin and this cover is just amazing, there's no other word for it.
It's okay to cry..
Thx Scrubs for everything!

love this song nearly cried when it was on scrubs so sad
This cover does a good representation of nostalgia, looking back on a memory and being happy it happened but sad that you can never return there
i cried when i heard this as it was on scrubs ( the best tv show created ) but it takes an amazing musician to beable to make this song into such an emotional piece to fit with the pain of certain circumstances :) x
I bet he was sitting on the couch when all of a sudden he was like "OMFG. SESAME STREET IS CALLING MY SOUL."
"And then I realized why I thought about Sesame Street all day. In a way, you can learn everything you have to know from watching it as a kid. Like, always play nice... always try your hardest... and even, it's okay to cry."
Wonderful song. Although it makes me sad but also happy, there is a real catchy tune
this is such a beautiful version of such an awesome song... i love it and am unashamed to say it makes me cry :)
Whoa...It's haunting, sad, and beautiful...Just, whoa.
I grew up in those streets and it was great times..I'm a 1980s baby ..
Poignant, yet uplifting ♥️
Fuck I miss scrubs 😞
So disappointed I can’t find this version on Apple Music 💔😭
It's not on Spotify either. What a bummer.
Scrubs music is heaven.
Defintely gonna get this if it ever comes out on iTunes.
He is so werry werry good.

Sometimes I just listen to this and cry my eyes out

This song makes me cry every time again.
and it’s okay to cry.” -JD
I love by just changing the music and the tone of his voice to make an upbeat, happy song into a depressing and saddening song.
This song is so powerful. He's just talking about how he wishes for a much more simple time. Much like when you're a child. No jobs or schooling, no fights with friends and no relationships. Just toys and your mum and dad, when things were so simple... I sometimes wish I was a kid again.
