Joshua Radin Sesame Street

[@smartacious]

Always play nice, always try your hardest and it's ok to cry.

[@justinhammer5842]

Ive been playing nice, I’m always trying my hardest....I’m crying right now....

Scrubs

[@zerastardust1712]

This song sounds like... "I want my childhood back. I'm tired of being an adult." Just about every adult can relate this.

[@tysargent9647]

Who knew a song about inviting people to a colorful, friendly street could also be seen as a resentment to growing up and having to leave the things you loved as a child behind. It's like if a show played the Mister Rogers theme as a wistful call to be accepted in a world that looks at someone differently.

[@thedogmancaper]

I dunno. This doesn't make me want to be a kid again, but I do want to wrap Kid Me in a hug and tell him that everything is going to be okay. It's melancholy, but in a way I didn't expect.

[@t.d.reynolds]

Absolutely Agree! I’m near 50 years old and this takes me back to a simple time of life.

[@rustyshackelford312]

this is a comment from @TheaterRaven on the scrubs scene with this song but I thought it was relevant here as well. As a child, you see "Sesame Street" as a fun show that just teaches you your 123s and ABCs. It isn't until you grow up and look back on it that you realize it went much deeper than that and, for many of us, it represents an innocent time in our lives that we all inevitably pass through. We have to, it's part of growing up, but for the rest of our lives, there's that part of us that secretly always wants to return to it. In short, we're all left asking, "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?"

[@schuylersnarrative3971]

"I grew up on the street. No, not the Hood - the Sesame Street."

"Always play nice, Always try your hardest, And it's OK to cry." - J.D

[@srredwings]

Listening to this as an adult...having gone through life's ups and down and thinking back to when I would hear this and sing along as a kid...really hits you hard. Puts the innocence, opportunity, and potential that we had has kids and wasted as adults into perspective.

[@Zenkunjoe]

As a child you go to seasame street and learn everything you need to know to be a good person. As you grow oldler you leave seasame street and venture out into the world and along the way you steadily forget how to..get there

[@jnavillus]

In the real version of the song, they're asking if you know how to get to Sesame Street the place. Here, he's asking how to get back to that part of your life.

[@ItsYourDistraction]

The 8th season of Scrubs was pure beauty. Still grateful ABC brought it back after NBC messed it up

[@RinLockhart]

The ultimate theme song of growing old.

[@katesomethingorother4723]

Right?

[@theridgeman2]

Yup!! Hitting middle age & this song’s mood nails it. I’m saying goodbye to my young soul.

[@SunshineCarpetCleaning]

[@grapebuy789]

Best line in the episode: And then I realized why I thought about Sesame Street all day.

[@umamidadump2808]

That kills me everytime. I've watched it for the full way the first time during quarantine (mind you I am 17) and omg it's maybe the best show ever. Scrubs is so fantastic man

[@ellien8934]

@@umamidadump2808 HAHAHAH i thought u meant u watched sesame street all the way through

[@LandonShipman-iDzynes]

@@umamidadump2808 that's the first place I heard this, other than the original - which I never watched SS nor scrubs back in the day, and I'm 43 next week. Saw this episode weeks ago, ended up having to search for it here and so glad I found it!

[@jennacruz6733]

I loved this episode on scrubs it did break my heart at the end when J.D cried. However I still can’t get over the joke he said in the beginning of the show. “Yea I grew up in the streets, oh no not the hood Sesame Street” I still laugh about it.

[@nicktoons125]

"And then I realized why I thought about Sesame Street all day. In a way, you can learn everything you have to know from watching it as a kid. Like, always play nice... always try your hardest... and even, it's okay to cry."

[@AliciaNyblade]

Had to come listen to this again after hearing the news that Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer and voices of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, passed away. Once we reach adulthood, we spend the rest of our lives trying to get back to the innocence of Sesame Street. Thanks for helping us try to find the way, Mr. Spinney. Rest in peace and blessed be.

[@jdsk800]

Not to mention we lost Emilio Delgado (a.k.a. Luis), and most recently, Bob McGrath.

[@AndyShulk]

Thank you.. so, so much for this song. When I first heard this on Scrubs I immediately stopped watching the marathon to find an mp3 of this. I have found it. Blessings.

[@jaxamilius5237]

heh...mp3 lol

[@LillyKTheArtist]

I love that so many people find their own meaning in this song. For me, I feel it in my soul, I was forced to raise myself, often taken advantage of, and far to often manipulated and lied to. So when Iisten to and sing this version of the song it feels like lamentation to my childhood, how I wish I could go back and get back the time that was stolen from me for the gain of others. I feel safe to feel exposed and even cry for the crime committed upon me and my innocence. Thank you all who open up in these comments, it takes courage to do so. Be kind to yourselves ❤️

[@Bookworm27Becca]

Aww what a beautiful song! Who knew Sesame Street could be made sad?! I just see JD crying when I hear this song, when he says that Sesame Street teaches you that it's OK to cry, bless him.

[@davidcarr4460]

Listening to this version of the song is like a cathartic release. I can't help but she a tear. thank you Joshua Radin and thank you Scrubs. thank you for such a magnificient show.

[@TCole2994]

I think the more it listen to this amazing song the more I tear up, for me it's about trying to find your innocence that perfect place that seems so distant and hard to get to no matter

[@Blossom44100]

You're never too old for Sesame Street

[@Melodystriker]

...That transition when you "grow up" and leave sesame street.. and then one day you suddenly realize you forgot how to get there... "can you tell me how to get... how to get to sesame street?"

Truthfully, I don't think I'd be welcome there any longer. I wouldn't fit in.

[@chloe21091]

First time i heard this song on scrubs, i just fell in love with it because it fit the moment so well and it was so sad! I love joshua radin and this cover is just amazing, there's no other word for it.

[@autumnbranscome1741]

[@zero3556]

That's one of the best Scrubs moments: This song is playing while Denise is turning around to J.D. and sees him crying... i love this moment so much i wanna sleep with it

[@XstalkedbyMYshadowX]

i cried when i heard this as it was on scrubs ( the best tv show created ) but it takes an amazing musician to beable to make this song into such an emotional piece to fit with the pain of certain circumstances :) x

[@wrightvcx2249]

I don't see that depth of emotion in shows or movies nowadays. Bill Lawrence along with the writers, entire team and the cast did a brilliant job.

[@UnknownEntryRetype]

I think this really shows how a cheery song can be made sad just with tone. Well done again to Mr Radin

[@rkgard3]

thank you so much for posting this. best damn cover ive ever heard in my life of any song.

[@DrRChandra]

The scene in "My ABCs" was so, so sad (a father of an 8-year old boy dying of lung cancer); this is where I first heard this song (this version anyway). This was a bittersweet bed for that. Zach's (Dr. Dorian) lines told about how we learned most of what we needed to know in life...play nice and such...from "Sesame Street."

[@Avalanche015]

Heard it first on Scrubs. I looked for it for days and learned it. Of course not exactly the same because I couldn't find it, but you sir, you found it. I love it. It's sad, happy, childish and yet so adult. I'm sorry that my comment might be long but saying thanks just doesn't seem to be enough. But... Thanks Thanks...

[@LobstertheGiggy]

Slow a happy song down, turn it to entirely piano and get a guy or girl who can do a voice like this. Instantly becomes sad as all hell.

[@rollingthunder1043]

Bonus points if you change it from a major key to a minor key. That has about a 50/50 chance of either being sad or creepy
