Video of the Day: Morgan Freeman as DJ Mel Mounds

Posted by Leonard Pierce

As long as we've got Morgan Freeman on the brain, we decided to treat you to a Video of the Day starring the man himself -- and a truly monstrous 1970s 'fro -- as severely funky DJ Mel Mounds, introducing "The Jelly Belly", that hot new dance number by the Short Circus.

 



Morgan Freeman's appearances on Sesame Street are among my fondest, and wierdest, childhood memories, and few are wierder than this one.  Check out young Irene Cara getting down as a member of the Short Circus, and Rita Moreno -- herself an Oscar winner -- boogying her culo off to the heavy sounds of DJ Mel.  Myself, I'm just waiting for DJ Shadow or some other enterprising hip-hop producer to come out with a dope remix of "My Mellow Fellow Turned Out Yellow"...

Are you sure you're not confusing Sesame Street with Electric Company?  I know both Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman were regulars on the latter, but I don't remember them from the latter. Of course, I never watched Sesame Street much so it could be my memory that's faulty.

Argh!  Got my latters and formers mixed up!  Basically, I don't remember them on Sesame Street.
