Poppin' and Lockin' with Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

I was digging through some of my favorite YouTube videos today and I came across this unbelievable clip from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.  I used to love this show when I was a kid but I have to admit, Mr. Rogers is a little creepier than I remembered.

Regardless, I think he was a good dude deep down and he always gave you some knowledge at the end of the day.  He was a huge influence on almost every kid growing up in the 70's and 80's and it was probably one of the greatest children shows of all time.  I used to love it when they went through the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" and would drive around on the train making stops along the way and talking to all the peeps in the hood. 

Who would have thought that Mr. R was down with Hip Hop before it even became the commercial phenomenon that is today.  This clip can't be from anything later than '83-'84 which was still way ahead of the curve in the acceptance of the music and culture.  He even breaks it down with a few dance moves after Jermaine teaches him how to do some "wavin'".  R.I.P., homey!!!
