sesame street

By sesame street

Voiceover: (sounds like Roscoe Orman, the actor that plays Gordon) This is Wilhemina.
Wilhemina: Wilhemina!
Voiceover: Her favorite letter is W. (little hearts appear around her head)
Wilhemina: (says the W sound, not the letter) W … w … w … Wilhemina! (she jumps up and lands in a cloud of dust)
Voiceover: (as a red letter W throbs) W for water … (the letter changes to blue water splashing from one end of the letter to the other) … whistle … (the letter turns brown, a bulge appears at the left side corner, moves to the right and the end of the letter turns into lips as the whistle escapes) … and worm! (the letter turns into a smiling worm, which kinda wiggles up and down staying in the shape of the letter)
(Now we see Wilhemina splashing in a puddle, hopping from one foot to the other) Wilhemina likes to whistle and wiggle … (she whistles) … while she wades in the water. (she turns her back to the camera) W …. (the letter appears, striped and changing from brownish to yellowish) … for Wilhemina … (her face replaces the letter) …. and walk … (the letter is now solid and walks to the right of the screen on its bottom parts) … and wheel … (two wheels appear at the bottom and it races along) … and whiskers … (the letter turns red and sprouts hairs) … and wide … (it expands, pushing off the screen to cover it) … and wink … (it turns into a w-shaped eye and winks) … Wilhemina can wiggle … (we see Wilhemina shake her booty from left to right) … and walk … (she walks off to the left) … whistle … (she whistles) … and wink … (she winks)
Wilhemina: (as a W grows underneath her, she stands on top and spreads her arms out) W for Wilhemina! (they both throb as the camera moves back)
