** That song is not, as far as I know, actually from the Israeli version of the show (Rechov Sumsum), but rather from a special project of CTW from the late 80's and early 90's called Shalom Sesame. That miniseries was meant to introduce Israel and Judaism to Americans, and is mostly in English, though it features many of the Israeli characters. Based on the fact that the song in question is mostly in English, and is aimed at teaching Hebrew I would presume that it was made especially for the crossover.

* GeniusBonus: Most people think Count von Count's counting obsession is just a pun on his name. It's not. A largely forgotten vampire legend holds that the best way to escape a vampire is to spill a bag of rice, sand, or pebbles, because vampires, being a neurotic species, must stop whatever they're doing until they've counted every last item in a pile. ''That's'' why the Count has never killed anyone: he never runs out of things to count!

Despite this rumor having been debunked years ago, there are still people that are slinging it around, such as in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaCfO889wTc&NR=1 this YouTube video]].

to:
** WordOfGod says that originally Bert was going to be the father and Ernie his son, which is why they live together. There were concerns that this would encourage kids to talk back to their parents, so the relationship was changed to make them brothers. More specifically, Bert is an older brother as perceived by his kid sibling (kind but boring), while Ernie is a younger brother (affectionate but annoying) from the elder's perspective. The writers eventually kept this vague, to allow more kinds of plots between the two.
** [[EverybodyIsJesusInPurgatory It's obvious that Bert and Ernie aren't adults, but a pair of preadolescent boys living an ideal boy's fantasy life, with the freedoms of adulthood but none (or few—they occasionally clean the apartment and do laundry) of the adult responsibilities. Their lack of any apparent paying jobs and constant habit of playing with toys support this interpretation. Bert's obsession with collecting fits right in with their role as the "latency period" characters in the original cast (just as Cookie Monster appears to represent the oral stage, Oscar the anal and Big Bird, age 6, the Oedipal).]] C.S. Lewis cites the characters in ''TheWindInTheWillows'' as an example of a similar trope, using animals instead of people to let them have the freedoms of both children and adults at the same time; likewise, ''Sesame Street'' uses puppets to get away with the same fantasy.
** Some people also see [[http://www.bertisevil.tv/ Bert]] in a [[CompleteMonster different light]]...
* BrokenBase: Parents who watch ''Sesame Street'' now might be uncomfortable with the show's transition into "The Elmo Show" and the degree to which Elmo has pushed all the other Muppets into the background. Children, however, ''love'' the little red menace.
