Pinball No. 4 (1977), dir. Jeff Hale, Imagination Inc.

I love this so much. There is a permanent place in my brain that has been playing this non-stop since the 70's.

Here's the whole thing:

Probably the most-known song the Pointer Sisters ever sang.

This is one of my earliest memories. I was probably 2 or 3 when I first saw this

I love this song. It is insanely complex for being a song that teaches kids to count, lol. Right on!

man i was literally just thinking about this like a day or two ago, so happy to see this again. i never realized (being a kid) how insanely complex this instrumentation is! incredible to think we had prog-jazz-fusion and psychedelic-tinged animation teaching kids to count

That’s the (Sesame) stuff! 👁️

I didn’t realize that pentatonix Sesame Street bit was based off of this 😳

man can't believe I know this thanks to family guy lmao

Lo estoy viendo sin volumen en el móvil pero cantándolo...

If only real pinball was this fun – y'know, instead of paying two bucks just to lose all three of your balls in two minutes.

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN ELEVEN TWELVE

Ha - I still remember watching this as a kid. 😊

There’s a video of Aquarius by Boards of Canada that uses this footage and some others set to the song

I want my house styles like this

🎶TWELVE!!🎶

And you can play it online

Oh, there you are, you would not believe the morning I've had!

The 70's were doing ASMR before it was cool

@Mr_Jangojim

I don't need volume on for the intro

I'll see your Pointer Sisters and raise you Grace Slick:

God, I miss this in Sesame Street and love the Family Guy parody.

Love it- the music, the animation, fab.

i played this aloud and my 70s mom immediately started singing along 😂🧡

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who didn't need to turn the speakers on to hear the music.

@tedfrank I wonder if this was partly responsible for our musical tastes @JohnPresnall

Sesame Street mixing education and trippy vibes into one great edutainment.

@vuonuo

Had this on VHS as a Kid also. Vividly remember this animation of the pinball and colors.
