The original "Ma Na Ma Na" was a sesame street tune.  It has been covered many times, most recently by Cake.

My daughter loves Hi-5 (American version) way more that the wiggles and sesame street.  She is 3 1/2 and has watched it for over a year now.  We are just waiting for them to launch some new episodes.

They're actually called the Yip-Yips, by Sesame Street's creators at Sesame Workshop.\n\nIf Sesame Street Live: Out of this World stops in your town, be sure to buy tickets, as they are featured in the Broadway-style show.\n\nThere's a ton of information on them here...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yip-Yips\n\nand here...\n\nhttp://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Yip_Yip_Martians\n\nPlus, you can join this Yahoo Groups club devoted to them...\n\nhttp://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/yipyips/

James earl Jones. Hope this don't sound gay, but I remember his character on "sesame street" when I was a kid, and it scared the sh*t right out of me. Since then whenever he speaks, I notice.

There used to be a comic character named Tootsie *like the candy* way way back in the 1930's and 1940's.  She was a bit like Little Lulu.  Not to be confused with Toot Braunstein from "Drawn Together"

I think I know who you are talking about and he appeared in "Truant Student" with Windy the Bear (see below source link). He is known as Inspector Willoughby and he first appeared in "Rough and Tumbleweed" (1961) a Woody Woodpecker cartoon.  I know I'm right so give my freaking ten points now!!!!\n\nPS: He sounds just like Tex Avery's "Droopy Dog" (Hello you happy people)

Gonzo is my favorite muppet - I even have his PEZ, and used to carry it around with me sometimes as a good luck charm.\n\nThe best muppet movie is Muppets Take Manhattan, although the Great Muppet Caper was fantastic too.

Felix the Cat. He was drawn by an Australian Pat Sullivan and was the first cartoon character of any note. I had never heard of Rory Emerald. \n\nIt seems I am not the only one. Rory Emerald gets less than 500 Google hits. Felix the Cat gets 1.33 million.

hands down Sesame Street... Mr. Rogers just acted like he was on downers all the time, but Sesame Street actually featured Big Bird's imaginary friend Snuffulupagus... now how cool is that for a kid?  I think Bert was grouchy because Ernie kept getting crumbs in the bed... speaking of which, why were they sleeping in the same bed?...

Edward Scissorhands.  Willy Wonka character seems to be the son of Scissorhands.

Sesame Street-staff writer Nancy Sans once described Elmo's origins. "There was this extra red puppet lying around and the cast would pick him up sometimes and try to create a personality, but nothing seemed to materialize." The puppet was performed by Caroll Spinney in the early-1970s, Brian Muehl from 1979-1981, and Richard Hunt from 1981-1984. Sans continues that "One day [in 1984], Kevin Clash, a talented puppeteer, raised him up and brought energy and life into Elmo and from that day forward we would all write for Elmo. Kevin's performance inspired the writers to develop Elmo's character. The lesson here is never think you're unimportant because you never know what is going to happen." Should Clash be unable to perform Elmo, John Tartaglia is the current backup performer

Mr Ed not so much but I do a very good Kermit the Frog.\n\nIt's a special treat though, the man has to really try hard before he gets to hear it.
