Cookie Monster and the Girls – “Pinball Number Count” (DJ Food Edit) (Video)
One of the best funk and soul songs (and one that is surely embedded deep in your consciousness if you spent any time at all watching Sesame Street in the 80s and 90s) ever.
My six-year-old self thought this was an amazing tune. I’m happy to report that that opinion has not changed.
Who knew the vocals were actually sung by none other than the Pointer Sisters?
A gleaming treasure trove of information on this song and video that chronicles “the journey of a pinball through a rather fanciful pinball machine” has been compiled by the good folks at Wikipedia here.
There’s even a dope rap remix by Maryland rapper Dunson.
Cue original song hook being stuck in your head for days. No bad thing.
