TherealRNO Says:

Apr 10, 2008 - alwaysan80sgal, Don Music WAS put into early retirement (i.e. the character WAS discontinued) AFTER Richard Hunt's death, BECAUSE kids would emulate Don's head banging, and it got certain organizations--i.e. the "soccer mom" ones that ruin quality entertainment--angry and as a result, Mr. Music was canned as a character.

Apr 21, 2008 - This classic Sesame Street stuff is very clever from an adult standpoint

Apr 25, 2008 - TherealRNO why do you pick on a poster that isn't even here? Check it out this alwaysan80sgal you speak of has no page anymore. Yours is a sign of true idiocy for all any of us know you could have been this alwaysan80sgal. Have you nothing better to do than pic on others?????????? You need a life.

Apr 28, 2008 - What a shame! The whole reason why I remember this charactor is because he used to moan and bang his head!!! I'm just delighted to see this is all preserved where we can relive out past whenever we want...

May 5, 2008 - Don Music was my favorite Sesame Street character.

Jun 10, 2008 - I read that The CTW got rid of Don Music because they didn't want kids to bang their heads like Don did.

Jul 4, 2008 - The kids hurting themselves by banging their heads on pianos, walls, etc. is most likely nonsense. It's simple. Richard Hunt died. They couldn't find a suitable vocal replacement for Don Music. The baker films were not pulled because they terrified kids. They were pulled because they were dated by the 80s. I wish Sesame Workshop would tell the true stories instead of the nonsense that they put into fluff books like Sesame Unpaved

Jul 7, 2008 - How come Don didn't sing with the trio at the end? He usually does.

Jul 10, 2008 - This guy scared the crap out of me as a kid, not so much the yelling, more so his funny looks...

huzhou Says:

Jul 22, 2008 - Don Music looks like Jarvis Cocker.

Darklight95 Says:

Jul 28, 2008 - WOW!! I thought I was the only one who was scared by that freaking muppet!!! And I was scared of his looks and his yelling. I think it gives a big impression to little kids, I used to hide under the bed when I saw him, he was horrible LOL And I remember it too because of his moaning and his weird songs LOL

Aug 29, 2008 - thank you for posting this! It was a trip down memory lane :)

Sep 3, 2008 - Of course Don does actually SAY the word 'sky' during the conversation "A cherry pie doesn't hang up in the sky". Kermit's usually smart enough to notice (cf Don writes Yankee Doodle).

Sep 28, 2008 - i tried imitating that when i was little--banged my head on the keys and got a nasty bruise on my forehead "oh, I'll nevah get it!Nevah!!(Banging piano!!Bam!)

simplecoffee Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - D'you know something, I never knew who Don Music was until a few months ago (unfortunately I was mostly subjected to Elmo as a little kid). Four years ago now I created a bespectacled, untidy-haired, semi-neurotic fictional character who plays the electric guitar. Coincidence much, or do I have a subconscious connection with Don Music?

PetLadybug Says:

Oct 19, 2008 - so many of the Sesame Street characters had serious anger issues

TsunogaiDanshaku Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - I heard that's why they phased Don M out; too many parents were complaining that kids were emulating his (no pun intended) "head banging".

makikuroneko Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - that's what made them so real to normal situations of life and not only children loved them but adults too! Things like that does not happen with actual characters full of love and compassion 9_9 I think that's laaaame :/ and totally unreal.
