Stevie Wonder performs his classic hit "Superstition" on Sesame Street in 1973, and turns it into an extended funk workout. He sticks around to perform his own killer theme for the show. [via YouTube]

As someone who watched Sesame Street back in the day, I guess I'll be the first to note how Sesame Street turned into crap during the 1980s, and then Elmo showed up.

All kinds of T3H 4W350M3. But this wouldn't fly today. For one thing, it's not "educational." For another thing, "Superstition" is 6 minutes long, or about 4 minutes longer than most Sesame Street pieces. CTW has decided that childrens' attention spans aren't short enough already I watched Sesame Street with the toddler for a while, but we've moved to other shows, because I'm annoyed with the short cuts and Elmo.

That was great, but I'm still mad at Stevie Wonder. You see, the 15-year old me thought "Living for the City" was just the coolest song ever. Many* years later, the 40-year old me downloaded it. Believe me, if you haven't listened to it for a while, the "bus" sequence kind of drags, and is - yes - laughable at points. *25

I loved the head-shaking-rocking-go-go-dancing kid in the background of Superstition, I wish there were more shots of him (and I have to wonder whatever became of the kid). Very cool indeed! While the Muppets weren't a "children only" show, here's another (youtube) video that you wouldn't see happening in this day and age: Alice cooper: Schools Out for Summer on the Muppet Show. *cues up Higher Ground and proceeds to rock out*

Ultra bad-ass awesome ... and to think PBS decided a "hip" kids' show was required, resulting in the stinkpile known as "Electric Company." Oh my god that band is outrageous, as is Mr. Wonder at the height of his powers. Yeah, the lyrics are dark and mean. Goes well together with Leonard Cohen's "The Future." I've just sent this clip to a dozen people. Thanks for the pointer, New Frontier!

And what were guys with your attitude saying when Stevie started up? That he was an irritating novelty act who would go away: "A devotee of folk music could not help but wonder, as he groped toward the door of Carnegie Hall last night, what ever happened to Burl Ives and 'The Blue-Tail Fly' ... The show, in effect, had the emotional depth of 'The Ice Capades,' the whoop-de-do of the circus and the vacuousness of a recital by Little Stevie Wonder and the Four Freshmen."

Today, the kid with the long hair wouldn't be allowed to be dancing where he was, there would be lots o' programmed shit going on with the synth and drums, the sax player would wear a different shirt, there would be lots of monsters dancing around like these girls, and they'd tell him to hurry the hell up.

Have you seen Put down the Ducky (from early nineties, I think - Rhea Pearlman and Danny Devito, among many others, all appearing for only little bits)? Robin Williams has done sketches. They have more celebrities willing to go one - some maybe even asking - than ever before. Any under 35 would grown up watching Sesame Street, just like the rest of us.

"Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday. Yea we have it. Well, can I have it? No, actually, you can't. Why not? Because it's sentimental tacky crap that's why. Do we look like a store that sells "I Just Called to Say I Love You"? Go to the mall! What's your problem?! God, do you even know your daughter? There's no way she likes that song! Oh oh oh wait! Is she in a coma?" And: "Rob - top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s? Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?"

> defend your assertion When I hear it, I see people skating slow circles in a roller rink under a mirror ball. They all have just eaten boiled wieners and limp fries. They don't know it, but all of them, even smiling Dot in the pink striped dress, have little pieces of pig testicle stuck between their teeth. And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Wonderful. Thanks. I found myself wanting to see Elmo interact with a younger Stevie Wonder. Irrational, I know, but Elmo is the coolest hipster on that show in a long time. Even if some fuddy-duddies did dismiss his classic Elmo's Song at the time.

Living for the City is good, as long as you fast forward through the bus part. I feel your pain, yhbc, I also refound that song in the age of Kazaa, and asked myself "was there always this lame bus ride thing in here?" Higher Ground is great, but RHCP did a better version. Superstition is the best song ever written. You should hear my band crank it out, we rock.

Nice work for a 22-year-old. Stevie Wonder wrote "Superstition" for Jeff Beck, but Wonder's version was so good he released it on his own album. Beck's supergroup Beck, Bogert & Appice did a cover [MP3 sample] the following year. (This page has a link to a Real audio file of Mel Torme's live cover version.) The funky opening riff is done on a clavinet.

On at least one occasion broken up companies have gone back into production to make Stevie Wonder a synth if he didn't get ahold of it during the production run (Elka Synthex). Stevie has also worked extensively with many companies who produce synthesizers as a creative consultant / beta tester. He had an ARP 2600 made in braille, the first Emulator, and still buys lots of synths and interacts with the industry.

I remember seeing this as a kid too, and enjoying it, but not understanding that I'd just witnessed lightning in a bottle. Stevie Wonder is a living legend, but like appearances of Bill Cosby, Soupy Sales, Morgan Freeman, Carol Burnett.. I just took the parade of adult celebrities through Sesame Street for granted. Of course Kermit and Bert and Ernie would rub elbows with people my parents watched. When I was five years old, the muppets were MY celebrities. Now I have to post what I'd say in one place in two places. This sorta sucks. Not that I'm complainin'... Alright I am!

Here's an interesting piece that appeared in "Keyboard" magazine a few months after the 1985 Grammy synthesizer "summit". The performance wasn't live at all: Hancock, Wonder, Dolby, and Jones merely mimed along to a track that they'd pre-recorded over the preceding weeks.

Holy. Shit. I just watched that and got literal chills from my feet up my back about 4 times - it's just, just....oh. Stevie has been one of my very top favorite artists for years, but I've never actually watched many of his old performances. This makes me fucking weep - we will never, never get that time back. Work out, Stevie, work out!

This makes me fucking weep - we will never, never get that time back. The best part of modern technology is whipping up a good funkalicious playlist, and "working out the jive" as an excuse to actually get some exercise. It even works for overweight midwestern white programmers who were in their formative years in the 70s, like me.

RE: Grammy synths My parents used to watch Dick and Ed's Celebrity Practical jokes and they had a bit where Herbie copied the master of the performance tape and put a blank section in the middle. Then when they met before the show to rehearse he freaked Stevie, Howard and Thomas out leading them to think the master was messed up at the last minute. And I had seen the man behind the curtain and became indifferent to "Live" performances on television.

I have a theory that Stevie Wonder is still with us, but (like Michael Jackson) writing under pseudonyms. I hear Stevie most clearly in Maroon 5. I swear he writes some of their hits and the singer is parroting his delivery on the demo tapes.

For those asking about MP3s, it's possible to do it by downloading the .flv file and then using total video converter to convert it to .mp3, .flac or .wav. (Linux users might want to try this). If you do turn it to a .wav it will be 24 bit so I used dbpoweramp to convert .wav to .wav, which turned it into 16 bit, which dbpoweramp could deal with when converting to other formats. After all that it was a bit of a disappointment to discover that the 2 second silence at around 2:10 wasn't a streaming pause, but sound drop out on the .flv video.

In another strange wrinkle, that video was posted by ShuckOwens ... which it turns out is Jay Farrar (former front-man of Uncle Tupleo). So musician celebrity endorsed, that clip is.

Here's another version of "Superstition" available on Youtube. The picture and sound quality aren't nearly as good as the version to which this Metafilter thread first linked. The video also ends abruptly with about 45 seconds to go.
