Classic PBS Remixes Bring a Hefty Dose of Nostalgia and Some Pretty Good Songs

We have posted a couple videos by remix master melodysheep (John D. Boswell) before, but this afternoon I fell all the way down the rabbit hole and found these (admittedly old) classic PBS remixes. In a project for PBS Digital Studios, Mr. Boswell made remixes paying tribute to shows that, if you are a Gen-Xer or an older millennial, you probably watched on a shitty old tv that still had knobs and dials. 

Beyond the novelty and nostalgia factor, which is strong, a couple of these are pretty good songs. Like, if the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood song “Sing Together” came on the radio, I probably wouldn’t change the station. And, for some reason, the Bob Ross remix “Happy Little Clouds” is incredibly empowering and inspiring. I think hearing sweet Bob Ross tell me “This is your world/You’re the creator” every morning would significantly increase my daily productivity, and it’s not even some weird ASMR thing. On the other hand, while she was a boss, Julia Child was not necessarily known for her lyrical voice.

You can watch all of melodysheep's PBS remixes below, or check out his extensive library of remixes (including his Symphony of Science series) here. The man is prolific.
