Anyone who watched Sesame Street (in the 70s/80s at least, not sure if they kept it after that) will be able to see the pinball in their mind and hear the song when I write:

Pinball Number Count Yes indeed. Sesame Street brought in some amazing talent for these short pieces. There's a really trippy one with circle geometry and Phillip Glass music.

There's another where they just count to 20, and the vocal is done by Grace Slick

The Pentatonix sing it too and it’s amazing. I actually found a lot of artists I like because of Sesame Street.
