What's your favorite Sesame Street song?

[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.

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..."

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!!"

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.

holy crap!! this is the song that i was thinking of during my post. i was singing this to my mom this morning. i love that song. i love watching the pinball go through all the obstacles. *sigh* you just made my night.

[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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
