Video of the Day Lunchtime Quickie: I Still Believe Happy Little Clouds

Posted by Kelly O on Fri, Jul 27, 2012 at 11:55 AM

Dammit. I'm not usually one to get ga-ga over auto-tuning, but this Mr. Rogers song really got to me. And now PBS presents the Mighty Afro-d one. I BELIEVE.

Fun! Did you mean "I Still Believe In Happy Little Clouds", or "I Still Believe, Happy Little Clouds"?

That was delightful. I remember watching a few of those paintings/episodes they used in the song. He was mesmerizing. He made me believe that even I had the capability to paint.

Turns out I have no artistic ability.
[Thanks, Mr. Ross, for that crushing disappointment.]

Now I want to listen to little fluffy clouds, the name reminded me of it

This was such a great show to have on in the background while I cleaned. I had no particular interest in creating any of those paintings, but the process from blank canvas to finished work was just amazing.

I suppose the next in the series of Heartwarming Dead PBS Guys will be an autotuned Jim Henson song.

...

SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

You're an asshole. This guy just does what he does, and some people enjoy it. If you're going to sit here and think you're too cool for Bob Ross, please ignore the fish in the barrel and contact me. I'll paint your ass under the table.

The Mister Rogers one kicks the Bob Ross one's ass. You should have posted that one.

@6 - NO YOU'RE UGLY! I LOVE BOB ROSS MORE!

It's nice, but I still think he should have been remixed with The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds."

This reminds me of elementary school, staying home sick from school, sleeping on the couch with the TV on, and Bob Ross always seemed to be there, painting. I was always amazed to see those blank canvases transformed, even though I could never manage to do anything he showed.
