I haven’t actually watched this video from “Sesame Street” on TV in almost 20 years. But every time I buy milk, pour milk or talk about milk, I can’t resist singing: “Milk! Mi-ilk! Milk!”

Those are pretty much the only lyrics — until the last few seconds of the song, and they really break it down by adding, “… makes everything seem bright.”

This song made me really hungry because it’s, essentially, a guy naming breakfast foods. And I’m not sure why the lady is with him. Every so often, you hear her make an off-key sound. But mostly she just sways.

From the YouTube description of this video:

This song aired on The Mornin’ Show, a local program carried by NBC affiliate WTVA in Tupelo, Mississippi.

I had all but forgotten about this awful, awful show from my childhood. Until one fateful day last week when something triggered a memory, and it all came crashing back to me.

Here, now, are the closing titles from Nickelodeon’s “Sharon, Lois & Bram’s Elephant Show,” circa 1986.

“One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies spent a week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998.

And while we couldn’t even begin to tell you anything we had learned in our high-school math or science classes that same year, we could totally recite the lyrics to “One Week” right now.

Here’s the real song, performed by BNL’s Ed Robertson and Steven Page:

“Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses:

Here’s one of our favorite Christmas parodies: Fay McKay’s famous “12 Daze of Christmas” — with helpful illustrations.

Here’s veteran Vegas performer McKay singing it live:

The economy is making it rough for everyone this holiday season, especially the bigtime CEOs.

Hey, fellow Tweeps. We all know people like this — the ones who must Twitter every inane detail of their day.

“Having a latte.” Who cares?

“Good morning, Twitter!” Really?

“Watching TV.” *Yawn*
