Tilly And The Wall Tap Their Way Onto Sesame Street

thumbnail icon: Tilly And The Wall Tap Their Way Onto Sesame Street

After the widespread success of "1 2 3 4" it was only a matter of time before Feist showed up to count on Sesame Street (albeit, sans the actual Count for some bizarre reason). Tilly And The Wall didn't exude as clear an educational angle, but the cheery tap-dancing Nebraskans do possess something kid-friendly about their day-glo look and sound and smiles (and name, which came from the children's book, Tillie and the Wall). So it's not all that surprising that they traveled to Sesame Street to teach the kids about the alphabet. Unfortunately, they don't get to mingle with any puppets.

Speaking of letters: O is out via Team Love.

Sesame Street has always been cool... However I found the girlstomping a bit sad when the kid in the wheelchair rolled up.

A is for Arm Tattoos, will you sing it with me? Maria sure didn't have those when I was watching Sesame Street as a kid.

E is for Erection, will you sing it with me? Tilly just taught me how to make a Wall in my pants.

P is for my Peehole which has exploded.

cmel, you're a douche.
one of the guys is a "fag" (although i would never use that term myself), and the other is married to one of the girls, if that matters to you.

Believe it or not, people can be in wheelchairs for other reasons than not being able to move their legs.

i get the feeling that the sesame street producers are trying to reclaim the thunder stolen from them by "yo gabba gabba" and again wear the crown of "cool" pre-schooler show.

From "90210" to Sesame Street- don't think any other band could pull that off.
