What's your favorite Sesame Street song?

[NinjaPoodle]

"C is for Cookie" is one and the other is when they do a count for the number of the day.

C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me,
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me,
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me,
Oh, cookie cookie cookie starts with C!

ETA:
I dont remember if Cookie Monster sang this or one of the other muppets.

Yeah it's silly I know but i'm bored:)

[smiley21]

i love the songs that teaches numbers. they always take me back. i still love sesame street. i am not ashamed!

[ztabchbum]

The theme song...sunny days...now I have it my head. :D

[Cluey]

I always liked this one... :)

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the other,
Before I finish this song?

[xok85xo]

toss up between:

i love trash

"ohhh i love trash..anything dirty or dingy or dusty...anything ragged or rotten or rusty...ohhhh i love trash"

or

rubber duckie song

"rubber duckie..you're the one...you make bathtime so much fun..rubber duckie i'm awfully fond of yooouu.."

i heart sesame street

[BirthaBlue4]

I like when they did the Beetles as muppets (looked like bugs) and sung Letter B ("Let Her Be") That was cute. And Follow the Arrow.

[AXJules]

Sesame Street has simultaneously taught me how to count and ruined my life.
To this day, whenever I'm counting out loud or in my head I sing "one two three FOUR five, six seven eight NINE ten, eleven tweeeelllllllllve". If any of you have heard this you know what I'm talking about.

My all time favorite is Teeny Little Super Guy:
"He's no bigger than your thumb: snap your fingers, here I come!
Don't look in the sky, don't look in the sea, he's inside of you and me (kinda creepy)
You can't tell a hero by his size, he's just a teeny little super guy.
Oooohhhhhhh yeahhhhh."

LOVE IT.

Also-
Cereal girl, sung to Madonna's Material Girl.

I love Rubber Duckie too.Especially the version where Little Richard sings with Ernie.

[AOX81]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 :D

[ShaedyKD]

I also like the Number Song. I may be thinking of some other PBS-esque show, but was there a song about Pinwheels? Because I vaguely remember one, but not the words or anything. I think it involved a bunch of kids on a playground or something playing with pinwheels.

[Sistermadly]

It's a tie between "We All Live in A Capital I" and "Lowercase N". Patti Labelle's "How I love My X" is a close second.

[AOIIalum]

1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
7, 8, 9
10, 11, 12

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
I Don't Want To Live On The Moon
sung by Ernie

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocketship high in the air.
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon,
But I don't think I'd like to live there.
Though I'd like to look down at the earth
From above,
I'd miss all the places
and people I love,
So although I might like it for one afternoon,
I don't want to live on the moon.

I'd like to travel under the sea.
I could meet all the fish everywhere.
Yes, I'd travel under the sea,
But I don't think I'd like to live there.
I might stay for a day there
If I had my wish,
But there's not much to do
When your friends are all fish,
And an oyster and clam aren't real family,
So I don't want to live under the sea.

I'd like to visit the jungle,
Hear the lion's roar;
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur.
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently.
So if I should visit the moon,
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam, and then
I will make a wish on a star,
And I'll wish I was home once again.
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above,
I would miss all the places
And people I love
So although I may go,
I'll be coming home soon,
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon.
No, I don't want to live on the moon.

And who could forget...

"There's a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza..."

[cutiepatootie]

definitely my favorite is the shows theme song "Sunny day....chasing the clouds away..."


But now i have a child and we watch it every morning and buy him elmo dolls i love "Elmo's World" ...."elmo loves his gold fish and cayrons too.... thats elmos world!"

[Taualumna]

I like:

"Who are the people in your neighborhood?"

"1 ,2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12"

I seem to recall this one about the number 11, where this crazy old lady (cartoon) says "11 o'clock, time to get up!!"

[Sister Havana]

"I Love Trash."

Also "One of these things is not like the others."

and "C is for cookie"

[AlphaXiGirl31]

Hope I'm not the only one who remembers "The Batty Bat" with the Count:

"Dance with me, doing... THE BATTY BAT!!!"
"Batty Batty Batty - 1, 2, 3 count!!!!"
"Batty Batty Batty - 1, 2, 3 count!!!!"
"Dance with me, doing... THE BATTY BAT!!!"

Wow, this is far more fun than finishing an o-chem prelab!!!!

[Hootie]

I love the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 song.
And it was like a pinball machine...yeah that song kicks butt!

I'll second the vote for this one! My second favorite:

"Wubba wubba wubba wubba woo woo woo.
Wubba wubba wubba and a doddly doo...."

Cuz remember:

If you wubba me then I will wubba you.

I saw the title of this thread and immediately came to post this one!

Another one that I really liked was something like "Breathe in...breathe out...breathe in....breathe out..." something about being alive. I dunno. It was very disco-y 70's like.

There was...the theme song was something like "Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around..something something and see what I've found." I think it was on Nickelodeon.

C is for Cookie

[carnation]

The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree!

[dzsaigirl]

"Letter B"

that is the coolest song!

Oh, and the "Beet beet sugar beet beet sugar beet sugar beet beeeeeeet!"

and "Milk Miiiiilk Milk....so good so warm so white"

Those are the song that I actually sing to myself sometimes...and I am 26!

[greeklawgirl]

Speaking of "Sesame Street," did anyone see Elmo, Zoe and Big Bird on "The West Wing" last night??? It was soooo cute!!!

I love the Sesame Street theme song, Rubber Ducky, and C is for Cookie myself. :)

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
because I would sing

C IS FOR CARA, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!!!

I was such a narcassitic child!!!

But my other fav would have to be "Rubber ducky, you're the one. You make bath time lots of fun"

[Peaches-n-Cream]

I like Kermit's Bein' Green

It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be

[Lisa Fishman]

What about "Doin' the Pidgon" sung by Bert.

By the way, people, add the words if you can remember them. That way, we'll have the songs stuck in our heads all day long(insert evil laugh herehttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/devil/evil_lol.gif)

[AXJules]

I FOUND TEENY LITTLE SUPER GUY!!!! HE WAS THE COOLEST!
http://laurgasm.com/pics/tlsg02.jpg

[chideltjen]

Grover was my favorite so anything he sang was cool.

Didn't he have a song about being near and far?

And remember when the owl with the jazz club had a show and they sang Birdland? Or was that in a movie?

It's been a while obviously. I can't remember anything.

But "Follow that Bird" was my absolute fav movie when I was a kid.

Monster in the Mirror:

Saw a monster in the mirror
When I woke up today,
A monster in my mirror
But I did not run away.
I did not shed a tear or hide beneath my bed,
Though the monster looked at me
And this is what he said:

Chorus:
Wubba wubba wubba wubba
Woo woo woo,
Wubba wubba wubba
And a doodly-do.


He sang wubba wubba wubba
So I sang it too.
Do not wubba me
Or l will wubba you!
Do not wubba me
Or l will wubba you!

Told the monster in the mirror,
"No, I am not scared!"
Then I smiled at him and thanked him for
The song that we had shared.
Well, the monster thanked me too, me too,
He smiled right back and then
The monster in the mirror sang his song again.
(Repeat chorus. )

He went wubba wubba wubba
And I sang along.
Yes, wubba wubba wubba
Is a monster song!

If your mirror has a monster in it, do not shout;
This kind of situation does not call for freaking out
And do nothing that you would not like to see him do,
'Cause that monster in the mirror
He just might be you.
(Repeat chorus. )

Wubba wubba wubba
You can join in too...

Yes, if you wubba me
Then I will wubba you!
Going wubba wubba wubba
Is the thing to do!

Every time you wubba us
We'll wubba you!

OMG I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!

I cried when he was stuck in the cage at the circus, and singing that song about being blue.

And my favorite joke as a kid came from that movie-

Kermit the Frog: Why didn't the chicken cross the road? Cause he was chicken- get it??!!


Aaahhh. the good ole days

[Taualumna]

Hey, does anyone remember the opera singing orange (she sang selections from "Carmen")?

[PM_Mama00]

My friend was obsessed with Elmo so she had all of the Elmo tapes... oh yeah we were in high school by the way. My fave, that I also heard at "123 Sesame Street Live" is "Imagination" and "La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's Song".

[Senusret I]

First of all, i LOVE all the songs that have already been posted! I will add the calypso version of the Rubber Duckie song. The chorus was something like:

And do de duck, rubber duck, duck duck duck
Rubber duck, rub-ber duck, duck duck, rubber duck
duck, rubber duck duck, rubber duck
DUCK DUCK RUBBER DUCK RUBBER DUCK DUCK

don't get soap in your eye....cuz that'll make you cry....

i will look for the rest.

If you read the book Sesame Street Unpaved, you'll see that there is a German techno version of "Rubber Duckie," sung by Ernie on the German version of Sesame Street and remixed by someone. It was actually a gigantic hit in Germany. I have a copy of it on my computer...it's very interesting, to say the least.

[hottytoddy]

123 4-5 678910 11-12

:D

[RioLambdaAlum]

Okay somehow I am sure this will count. I got a German Techno Verson of Rubber Ducky on my computer (and a CD I made) so thats one...the second I have on my computer (and a CD I made) is Pride (havent seen the episode would be drooling if I did) but it was when my Goo Goo Dolls where on and singing with Elmo and it was to the tune of Slide.
So Rubber Ducky and Pride

[Chief]

I have to go with "The Peanut Song" (probably not the exact title) from Sesame Street Gold:

You shan't have any of mine
You shan't have any of mine
You shan't have any of my peanuts
Till his peanuts are gone

I also enjoyed the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 song, especially the part where the chef announces, "9 chocolate cakes!" and then wipes out down the steps. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself.

[chrini]

Who are are the people in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood.......................

There was another song that I think Ernie or Kermit the frog did. I couldn't remember the title or if it was part of the neighborhood song or not. It went something like this:


I love to sing.......
Sing in the bathtub (LaLa)
I (SOMETHING, SOMETHING,SOMETHING, SOMETHING)
skies so blue
I love to sing...........

[Senusret I]

I remember that song....but I think it was Ernie, Oscar, Big Bird, and Olivia who sang the song. I love to sing....sing in the bathtub/shower/bird bath, etc.

And they went out on the street
They were cleanin' out the empty lot

For me and for you."
They said:

For me and for you!"

My favourite is quite obscure, and no one seems to remember it. There were some kind of monster babies in high chairs singing "I'm a baby, gaga, googoo, bop, bop, bop"

AND I JUST FOUND THE LYRICS!!

http://www.hotlyrics.net/viewlyric.php3?id=155651

I need therapy LOL.

[Senusret I]

I remember that!

[tinydancer]

Oscar the Grouch had a song where he sang "Then you're a grouch like me!" That's all I remember, except that one of the sororities sang it for Sing Song one year when I was at Texas. It was a hoot!

[tunatartare]

The Rubber Duckie Song and (You've Got to) Put Down the Duckie if You Wanna Play Saxophone.

Also, I don't know if anyone remembers the 1987 movie Don't Eat the Pictures where Sesame Street gets locked in the Metropolitan Museum of Art overnight, but that had a bunch of great songs. There's a great number in there when Grover goes to the Arms and Armor Wing, and sees that the suits of armor are all real people and wants to play with them and gets sad that they don't respond.

I Want to be Your Friend-
Shiny chum, don't be shy
Don't be mum, just say "hi!"
And we can play together
I want to be your friend.
Let's play ball, let's fly kites
Best of all, let's be knights!
We'll be so brave together,
I want to be your friend.

We can ride upon our horsies where adventure can be found
Save a dragon from a princess--or the other way around?
We will challenge every villain, in the east and in the west,
And we'll find a baby birdie and return it to its nest.

Through enchanted forests we'll go strolling,
And on Saturdays, we could go bowling!

Shiny sir, this I feel,
I am fur, you are steel,
But we belong together, faithful 'til the end
Oh I want to be, oh I want to be, oh I want to be
Your friend.

Sorry for everyone who's going to be singing this for a week.

I also remember them singing Up Up and Away.

I'm not sure if anyone else who remembers super old school Sesame Street (I'm talking when the original Gordon was still on) agrees with me, but some of those sketches really take on new meaning when you get older. Like maybe Mr. Hooper had some "herbal remedies" for sale at his store. :)

[vanda]

Well we've touched on 123 45 678 9 10 11 12. What about when they count to ten? I like that one too. Especially when the chef drops all the desserts. I also like "You' Alive" HUh breathe in Hah Breathe out. Cause you alive and that's no jive.

I have it too, Sister Havana!!

Anyway, I don't know if anyone remembers this one, but my vote goes to the NO song -- where the girl's head shows up all around town and she's shaking her head and saying "NO NO NO."

eta: just found the lyrics!!! ::aahh the memories::

The Word Is No
Written by Christopher Cerf

No parking
No biking
No swimming
No hiking
No driving too fast or slow

And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is....

No camping
No cooking
No laughing
No looking
No stopping
No place to go

And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
No!

How can just one word, just two letters
Keep so much from getting done?
We'd be worse off without it
No doubt about it
Stand up and shout it
"No" 's no fun!

No talking
No teasing
No rhyming
No reason
No hiding from "n" and "o"

And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

And whats on the other side

Rainbows have nothing to hide

Whats so amazing
That it keeps us star gazing
And what do they think we might see
Oh, someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard the voices
Well, I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many, many, many times to ignore it
Oh, I think it may be
Oh, someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me




I also like Manna Manna and Inchworm

Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many
Songs about Rainbows
And whats on the other side
Rainbows are visions
but only Illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide

Whats so amazing
That it keeps us star gazing
And what do they think we might see
Oh, someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard the voices
Well, I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many, many, many times to ignore it
Oh, I think it may be
Oh, someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

too sleepy to read too far back but it should be mentioned several times a major thread: Kermit the Frog was created by Jim Henson and his wife while students at the University of Maryland...in the chapter house of Alpha Xi Delta...Jane Henson is directly responsible for suggesting Kermie's eyes could be ping pong balls....

[JonInKC]

There was a disco song they did in the 80's with Gordon, Luis and some of the other guys...I guess it was called "Gimme Five"?

"Gimme five (five)
Gimme five (gimme, gimme)
Gimme one-two-three-four
Gimme five...

Gimme one-two-three-four
but if you love me more
Gimme five (five)
Gimee five (gimme, gimme)...

And of course, the pinball song.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

1-2-3-4-5,
6-7-8-9-10
11 12...

doo-doo-doodoodoo-doo-doo-do-dododo-do-DOO!

And that weird thing were they showed the pyramid with a number on it.

(Child's voice)
"Seven"

Wheeeoooowwwwww.....

Dee-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...
dododo-do...

(Baby sound-WTF?!) AAH-aaah....

[DeltAlum]

The theme song.

When Sesame Street started, I was working at a Public TV station in college. We all loved it, because "Educational Television" was so dry and stuffy in those days and here was something that was paced like Laugh-In which was huge on commercial TV at that time.

Even as college students, we would gather around the master control room or the "big" TV in the dorm TV lounges to watch Sesame Street.

"I don't want to live on the moon" was my first thought - love that song. I also love "The Rainbow Connection" - what a great song!!

Eli never watched Sesame Street much, but anytime they would play "Journey to Ernie" he was completely absorbed. He LOVED the song when Big Bird found Ernie:

It’s Ernie. - It's me!
I’d know you anywhere,
The schhhch-schhhch in your laugh,
That Ernie shirt and hair.
The squeaking of your ducky, tells us your the one,
We found him! - You found me!
La la la la la,
Our journey
To Ernie
Is done...

[AGDee]

Rubber Ducky was one of my favorites, however, Big Bird sang an alphabet song where he made the alphabet into one big word that sounded kind of like this:

Abkajefjecklemanopqurstuvwiz

It was on a vinyl 33 album that I had of Sesame Street songs when I was a kid. I was 5 when the show started and it taught me how to read.

[Unregistered-]

We all sing with the same voice (My name is you) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPae3XbOh9s)

It's funny because I still remember all the kids in that song like it was yesterday.

And apologies in advance because I have a feeling you'll be singing this song in your head for a while. :)

[cutiepatootie]

The theme song...sunny days...now I have it my head. :D


me too.....I love the theme song...everytime my son watches it i sing it all day long

I used to love the Elmo song, "No I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"; however, Rubber Ducky is a classic, as is anything by Cookie Monster. Random note: when the first "Tickle Me Elmo" came out years ago, I bought a "Tickle Me Cookie Monster" and, if ya'll haven't seen or heard one, Cookie Monster sounds like he's molesting a kid..haha..because he says "HAHAHAHA OH BOY OH BOY" :p

Cool site! Thanks for posting that:D

[MexicanMami0286]

"Cereal Girl" is amazing! I always thought that it was cute that it mirrored Madonna's "Material Girl."

[alum]

"I Love Trash" sung by you-know-who.

[ForeverRoses]

"It's Not Easy Being Green" is one of my favorites, but my 4 year old preferes "New Way to Walk" and my 16 month old LOVES to dance to "Honker Ducky Dinger Jamboree".

[Senusret I]

On the Subway...SUB-WAY!!!! (http://www.thebestlegaladvice.com/lawyer.php?vid=WkPh8As-y6E)

OMG this was a real throwback -- probably one of the best songs musically.

[nikki1920]

Mahna Mahna was from the Muppet Show (I have it on tape!!). I LOVE it!!

[CutiePie2000]

The original Mah Na Mah Na is here (God bless You Tube) from 1969 (no, I wasn't born yet)

Gotta love the old school Muppets.

Not a song, but worthwhile just the same: "The Yip Yips Meet the Telephone":

Ooooh I love that!
My old favorites were always Cereal Girl, that exercise song with Prairie Dawn, and Dance Myself to Sleep (with the guy from Law and Order tap dancing)

I've never really pictured Larry King dancing, but it was kind of awesome.

Does Bohemian Rhapsody count? If not, then Rubber Ducky.

[dreamseeker]

lol during my lurking days i found posts older than this. :p

[AnotherKD]

Thanks for bumping this one!

I loved the Dance Myself To Sleep song, plus the one where Big Bird thought the alphabet was one word, sounding like "ab-cah-deck-eef-jeck-el-muh-nop-qurr-stu-vrex-es". Ah, memories.

Anyone remember the song where the girl was taking her llama to the dentist? Me And My Llama, or something like that.....

[southbymidwest]

"Out of his secret garden somewhere in New Jersey, comes your newest favorite superhero!"

"It is I, Captain Vegetable, with my carrot, and my celery!"

[GMUBunny]

A newer episode has Ricky Gervais singing Elmo a Celebrity Lullaby. Hi-larious. I'll have to see if I can find it on youtube or something...

But for older stuff, the Rubber Ducky song. :)

[DiamondAthena]

I always loved the theme song... and now that I have a toddler, I realized they changed the tune. The first time we put it on for my son, my husband and I both paused, looked at the t.v, then at each other like wtf is THAT!? lol I'm used to it now and like it just as much :)
