Sesame Street is 45 this week.  This EP was my homage to the nostalgia.  I recorded it in haste in this house centipede riddled moldy basement...

is “Capital I” a metaphor for the perfect Marxist state? How could a lower-case n ever be lonely seeing as it’s one of the most-used letters in English?

THESE ARE SUCH GOOD QUESTIONS.

I can certainly see the Marxist read of Capital I, but I'm not sure I buy into it, mostly because to me the society in the song doesn't sound functional, but rather hideously broken. The characters take care of their own home (in the center of a desert, so they're presumably alone away from anyone else), and while they seem perfectly happy doing their assigned work, it doesn't sound like there's anyone doing any other tasks. This isn't "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"; this is literally everyone cleaning the capital I regardless of their personal skill set.

As for the lowercase n, first of all, I don't think we can just assume that she functions in an English-speaking country just because the song is sung in English. Maybe it's in a society that doesn't even use the characters we do, and all of the other letters laugh at it because if the n sound is needed they'll do it with transliteration TYVM.

In fact, I think we need to consider the very real possibility that the song isn't about an n from another world is visiting our own, but rather that we have sent an n to a different planet, to befriend this lonely n who never knew other ns even exist. The blue n is like the Mars Rover of the alphabet, maybe.
