... and this is it (it's a lot longer than I remembered).
It's almost unbelievable to me that 1.) after a few decades, this still pops into my head randomly and while, well, counting and 2.) this must be true for a large fraction of Americans in my age bracket.
And just for kicks, here is the Family Guy version.

Yeah, youtube is fantastic for travelling down memory lane. I also love how many people I've met in graduate school who still remember these little segments.
Sarah and I were just discussing this a few weeks ago, and here's the link to the famous crayon factory segment:

I love the little girl holding the crayon up to her eye, then the music starts up. Great transition :)
Crayons! Awesome. Two others that I remember (but haven't found youtube clips for, unfortunately) are the saxophone making segment (saxophone, right? not trumpet?) and taking the car through the car wash.
there was *definitely* a saxophone making episode... not sure if there was also a trumpet one.
-smh
Okay, I kinda went nuts on youtube, and I'm sharing the results (still no saxamaphone though). Sorry for the link spam, but I do have fond memories of each one of these.
Rolling ball (with grinder ending)
Orange sings Carmen
Ladybug's picnic
Kermit the Forg
Making Cheese
Animated hungry cat
Old MacDonald had a Spaceship
King of Eight
Yep Yeps and the Telephone
Lifestyles of the Big & Little
Baby Honker
Villain in the Panama Hat
And yes, I do plan on graduating :)
Awesome. It's going to take me a while to watch all those clips; goodbye rest of the workday.
Nice, but you guys missed one:
Manamana
Ok, so this was clearly on the Muppet Show, but I swear I saw it on Sesame Street. Oh, and there was more popping in from the sides and the top, the way I remember it. That, and I thought he was saying "phenomena."
Actually, I think you're right on both counts (or maybe all three counts?). Here's two webpages that explain the all the incarnations of the song:
