"It's Not Easy Bein' Green." There's a reason this one was preserved in the National Recording Registry.First, Ernie lip-synchs to the original track by Jim Henson (creating the illusion that Henson was still posthumously performing on Sesame Street), and second, the segment turned out to be the last featuring Henson's voice to be re-run on a new episode of the show, around season 39. This song is especially poignant in regards to Ernie's duet with Aaron Neville in 1993.While "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" wasn't really meant to be sad, it has a bittersweet vibe due to the slow pace and the emotional message about not wanting want to reside in certain places for fear of missing your family, favorite places, and friends.Then they see a tear and remark that he must be real. This scene gets an emotional Call-Back later in Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird where two children sneak into the tent where Big Bird is being held prisoner and wonder if he's real.until he starts wiping away Snuffy's tears, and realizes that Snuffy must be real, as he's crying real tears. The scene where Big Bird tells Snuffy that he has to go away, as he has been convinced by his friends that Snuffy doesn't exist.The scene – done in one take and kept intact – showed that even adults (who fully understand the concept of death) cry and feel very sad when someone close to them dies, and that it is OK to cry, sometimes together, when something sad happens.

This is also a nod to an earlier scene where Big Bird was walking backward with his head between his legs, telling Gordon he was doing it "just because." Gordon gives him the only possible answer, which is both realistic and so very sad: "It has to be this way. When Big Bird asks why it had to happen and he says, "Give me one good reason!" and you know that no one can, because there is no good reason.But you know something? We can all be very happy that we had the chance to be with him, and to know him. It'll never be the same around here without him. When Big Bird says that it'll never be the same, prompting the famous line from Bob (in which you can hear the very real wavering in his voice) as the adults start sniffling: "You're right, Big Bird.
Hooper's not coming back." Cue the waterworks as Big Bird starts to break down on learning when people die, they can't return. Susan looks around, aghast and guilty, before delivering the Wham Line: "Big Bird, Mr. At first, Big Bird doesn't understand when Maria tells him Mr.
But the producers soon decided that the best thing to do would be to tackle Lee's passing head on by killing off the character too, and teach children that death is a part of life, with Big Bird acting as the children's surrogate. There were initially plans to recast him and act like nothing happened. Hooper, died of a heart attack at the age of 74. On December 7, 1982, Will Lee, known for his 13 years as kindly shopkeeper Mr.We of course start off with the BIGGEST tear jerker in Sesame Street history: the death of Mr. Sure, Sesame Street teaches you the basics like letters and numbers, but it's never afraid to tug at your heartstrings.
