Anyone rember this?

I think it was a bunch of kids in a dance studio playing with hula hoops. Gordon was the only familiar grownup. As they played/ danced, they sang this:

"One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Four to go
Five reach the sky
Six way up high
Seven near the end
Eight.
Eight, seven, six, five, four three two one."

Here's what's crazy.... For the past 20 years, I have been using that song while waiting. Example, if I am waiting for a light to change while at a crosswalk, I'll count the number of cars that go by via that ditty!

Some of these things just get under your skin!

?

Is that the same kids where Gordon and a friend helped use a piece of elastic to discover shapes? I remember that it was in a gym class.

No, it's not the same one. But I do remember the sketch with that song, and, get this, it may have been the first time I ever saw Sesame Street. I first heard it when I was like 3 years old, and then never heard it again until recently, when I got an episode with it in a trade. When I saw that episode for the first time in about 17 years, I couldn't believe someone actually had it.
