Long a favorite of C's, but not a childhood memory, are the Counting Songs on Sesame Street. Absolutely bonkers, trippy, surreal, original, creative and a whole lot of fun packed into a minute.

Also, a bit subversive-look at the images, story-telling, messaging-definitely freaked out some Conservatives because...it's broadcasted to the children! OMG!
c.1975 "Number 9 Martian Beauty"

c. 1972 "It's a Lovely Eleven Morning"
Both were made by Bud Luckey who later became known for his
work at Pixar as a character designer for Toy Story, Boundin', Toy

Incredibles, Ratatouille and Wall-E.
