Elmo Slide is a new dance genre discovered by the famous
Sesame Street character Elmo. Elmo both entertains and educates with his dance
and song.
The song Elmo Slide is performed by Elmo. However, many
people accompany Elmo in the video clip of the song.
The song Elmo Slide is displayed on a platform called UTUBE.
Thus, a gentle reference is made to the video platform giant Youtube. There are
also celebrities in the video clip of the song. Ryan Reynolds appears and flaps
his arms when Elmo says “flap your arms”. Alton Brown slides to the other side.
Terrence Howard turns around. Usher appears at the end of the clip and gets up.
So, what is the secret message that this song wants to give
to preschoolers, have you ever thought? Let's dance together, shake it this way
and that! While dancing is nice, that's not the answer, no. Obesity is a very
serious problem in America today. Studies show that the age of obesity is
decreasing day by day. Cardiovascular diseases caused by obesity increase the
risks of stroke and heart attack in advancing age. The enemy of obesity is an
active lifestyle and exercise. Right here, “Elmo Slide” aims to make children
love to move. Yes, that's exactly it.
Pbs Learning Media has added a pdf file called “Animal
Charades” to the collection of the song. Pdf has the theme of coloring animals
for kids and moving like painted animals.
The lyrics of the song were written by Judy Freudberg. Judy
Freudberg is an important name in many song, episode, special video and book
projects for Sesame Street. “Around the Rock”, “Back Front Tap Rap”, “You're My
Best Friend”, “The Cookie Dance”, “Get Up and Go Dance” are some of the other
Sesame Street songs contributed by the famous songwriter.
The music of the song Elmo Slide is the work of Bill
Sherman. We also remember Sherman from songs such as "Belly Breathe",
"Abby's Fairy Garden", "Be a Good Friend". Good job Bill.
