I want to go, but you won’t let me go.
One of the reasons that I truly believe that YouTube is one of the greatest inventions of our generation is that I am able to watch old Sesame Street videos. Every time I hear this song, I have no choice but to imagine a giant letter U chasing Smokey Robinson. And, really, what is wrong with that? (Nothing. Nothing whatsoever.) M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel might sing this song on their new album, but I know that it really belongs to Smokey and the giant U.

This is THE defining version of the song as far as I am concerned.

Oh, I know they sing it. That’s why I have been thinking about it lately. I meant it like, “They sing it, but they don’t own it.” Because it’s all about Smokey and the U. hehe.
