Did you know that every year on January 13th Ernie's famous Rubber Ducky from Sesame Street celebrates a birthday?
MAMAMAMA, can you share the video you played for us yesterday, some people may not know about Rubber Ducky!
Mama insisted on posting the "Vintage" video from 1973 (you know, from the time before dinosaurs roamed the earth), because that is the one she originally watched.
(You can also view it HERE on YouTube)
Isn't it a fun song?? I really LOVED all the squeakies the rubber ducky makes!!
Yes Sunny, it is a nice song but Rubber Duckies have been around for longer than 1973. It seems that in the year 1928 a Mr. Landon Smart Lawrence patented the first official "Rubber Ducky"
So Happy Birthday Rubber Ducky, we love you!!
Welllll, as long as we don't have to take a bath to play with you!
we love that song... but why Ernie had to perform it in a bathtub? it would be nice on the sofa too LOL
ReplyDeleteNeither Gail nor I had heard that rubber ducky song (Sesame Street was not on TV in the UK during her childhood). But we love it now!

ReplyDeleteWe will skip the bath, but happily play with the rubber ducky! Enjoy your duckies.
ReplyDeleteFavorite Sissy of Angel Madi was a huge S.S. fan and she loved Ernie, Miss Piggie and Froggie a LOT

having never watched Sesame Street or heard this song, I have to say, the squeaky duck is cute but not as cute as the 4 of you with your rubber ducky...
ReplyDeleteY'all really are just the cutest!

Lulu: "That rubber ducky doesn't look a day over 70!"
ReplyDeleteMy ghostwriter remembers when Sesame Street first started. And, yeah, there were dinosaurs walking the Earth then. Hehehehehe.
ReplyDeleteMom loves that song, and the original is just great!!! When the grands were babies and stayed here most weekdays, there were many rubber ducky bathtub times here with lots of singing.

Absolutely love Ernie's rendition of the Rubber Ducky song. Thanks for sharing a smile from simpler times.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think rubber ducky I think of Ernie, just saying
ReplyDeleteWe want to thank you for sharing the original rubber Ducky Song! Mom sings that song in the bath! Ernie sings much better than she does! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was rubber ducky day. We have rubber ducks sitting along the edge of the bath. I will go and tell them.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, love that song with Ernie singing it. Happy Birthday, rubber ducky!
ReplyDeleteArty Dickie we are awfully fond of you!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!!!! No baths with the Rubber Ducky!!!! What a great post.
ReplyDeleteRubber Ducky you a popular song while we were growing up
ReplyDeleteYou all are so cute with your little (and big) duckies. We would love to play with the ducky but agree that we wouldn't want to do it in a bath.
ReplyDeleteWe did not know about Rubber Ducky day, or just how long they have been around! Thanks for informing us!
