Pinball Number Count

A series of animated skits from 1977 that take place inside a pinball machine. The Pointer Sisters sang this song. The lyrics are basically "1-2-3 4 5, 6-7-8 9 10, 11, 12", with each segment focusing on a different number. Segments were made by Imagination, Inc. for the numbers two through twelve. A segment for number one was never produced.

In 2003, DJ Food produced a remix of all of the sketches and released it on an EP, Solid Steel Presents Sesame Street. The record label, Ninja Tune, also released the video remix on the DVD ZenTV. The remixed track was included in Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music and the remixed video as a bonus feature on What's the Name of That Song?.

In 2004, a techno-style video/audio remix of the song, cut together with segments from the Beatles animated feature "Yellow Submarine," was released on the Internet by a UK group called Braces Tower.

In 2005, in the Family Guy episode "The Father, the Son and the Holy Fonz," there was a bit which featured Stewie in the pinball machine inside a plastic immunity ball (because Peter's religious father exposed Stewie to tainted holy water).
