When they were young, my children were big fans of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and I would watch along with them. The show did not have the same entertainment value to adults as Sesame Street but you could not but help like his gentle character and his simple wholesome messages of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. The low production values and slow pace added to its quirky charm.
This remixing of clips from the show and setting them to music is quite clever and could make him into a pop star.

My favorite is the Carl Sagan “Glorious Dawn” song:
