Do you remember this?

The song that used to play at the end of Sesame Street during the funding credits?

Funky Chimes, originally uploaded by thadd.

It's possibly my one of my most favorite songs Ever.

Created sometime in the early 70's, this musical interlude was featured at the end
of Sesame Street episodes. Nicknamed "Funky Chimes", the tune was placed between
the show's final credits and the PBS identification.

When Funky Chimes was retired in the early 1990's, I thought I'd never hear it ever again.
But with the advent of the Internet (where you can truly find anything), I've stumbled upon
a high quality extended version created by YouTube user, Roboshuffle.

Needless to say, I love it! I always thought it was the best part of Sesame Street.
This brings back some memories, I tell you what.

I've extracted the audio and converted it to mp3 format,
so I can enjoy "Funky Chimes" on my iPod whenever I want,
as well as turned it into the primary ringtone on my mobile.

Oh, the stuff you can do with the internet. I tell you.
