Top 10 Sesame Street Songs

[@connormcdowell2]

As an employee of Sesame Place, its great to see which songs everyone likes best. btw i hear these songs everyday and i still havent grown tired of them

[@BruzoDragonius]

I hate to sound like a typical oldie at the age of 26 but these Sesame Street songs brings so much nostalgia as that I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid. Some of the songs I still remember off this show. And I remember the Elmo's song really well since it is the intro theme to Elmo's spin off show, Elmo's World.

[@AnimeGames16]

The great Joe Raposo! My grandfather was actually friends with him because they were both musicians in Mass in the 50's-60's. An even bigger coincidence is that Raposo died on February 5, 1989, my birthday (before I was born, though).

[@shunlvswx]

"Sing" always makes me cry when I heard sung by Sesame Street. I cried when they played it at the Kennedy Center Honors.

[@lahannasingh]

I loved listening to Rubber Duckie as a kid and I still do today. It’s such a memorable song from my childhood. This hit right in the feels!

[@AmiriHipHop]

The people disliking this video had a bad childhood.

[@EsmeAmelia]

I can't believe a Sesame Street list is what's making people lose their shit. What is this world coming to?

[@bagelisinthedetails]

I hate it because there is no BA NA NANANA

[@kittea24]

Agreed

[@looneysprig]

The people that hate it are rebel teenagers who hate shows for pre-schoolers.

[@lexramstudios1386]

They're a bunch of haters

[@cfa1998]

Does anyone else cry/almost cry or catch emotions when they hear 'I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" or is it just me?

[@nazbaluyot9245]

Its beautiful

[@readingwithelizabeth993]

My dad absolutely LOVES "Doing the Pigeon". He can actually make a pretty good pigeon noise.

[@smithawits4028]

Well this was a big nostalgia trip for me. Anyone else?

[@darkstarmoonshadow]

Yes

[@mjs5603]

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon might not be as popular as some of these other songs, but in my opinion, it's the most meaningful to me.

[@nicolenewsome4863]

Very true.

That "C is for Cookie" song was originally heard on a record album in which the Muppet characters sing and talk about the alphabet. Soon after its release, the song appeared on Sesame Street with Cookie Monster lip syncing the recording taken from the album with some of his furry friends, including Grover, Herry, Oscar the Grouch, etc. joining in on the chorus.

[@lisaboban]

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon is only an honorable mention? Nooooo! And unlike all you haters I really liked this top 10. Makes this grandma nostalgic...

[@RansomeStoddard]

Oh yeah, 'I don't want to live on the moon" was always my favorite Sesame Street song as a kid. I grew up on them and my kids grew up on them and very soon I will have grand children who will no doubt grow up on them.

[@readingwithelizabeth993]

Lisa Boban, Wait, your grandma? Ugh, shows just how old I am...

[@lemonsnap3337]

That song has stuck with me through life since Sesame Street. It’s one of those songs that sends you straight back to your childhood it’s beautiful!

[@nicolenewsome4863]

Ikr. Like how dare you put it as an honorable mention.

[@EsmeAmelia]

Do a Part 2! There are SOOOO many great SS songs and just one Top Ten list barely scratches the surface!

[@jordanbriskin238]

I would have included "We Are All Earthlings" in this list, personally; that's always been one of my favorites.

[@coolcupcake145]

What a nostalgic trip. "Elmo's Song" turned into the Elmo's World Theme. Also where is "people in your neighborhood" That's a really good one?

[@amandaschaefer3786]

"A New Way To Walk" is my favorite "Sesame Street" song!

[@laurakruk4692]

What happened to Pinball Number Count? That song is so catchy and one of my favorites! I still sing it every once in a while despite being 26!

[@sralyn]

And the classic number song where the baker topples over with a sumptuous dessert

[@jaymillymills]

Same with those of us in our 40s

My favorite song was "Do De Duck." It is another Ernie singing in the bath tub about his rubby duck, but much more lively. Brings new meaning to "Don't come knocking, if the tub is rocking." :p

[@Viggatos]

It saddens me to see so much hate

[@yagamigirl_2047]

I know right this list was adorable and lovable I loved Sesame Street people are so bitter 😢.

The song "Being Green" was also featured on an episode of "Captain Kangaroo," where it was sung by Mr. Greenjeans the farmer, who wore green work jeans. I should know because I used watch that show as well as "Sesame Street."

[@PieFights]

Fun fact both songs #10 and #9 were written by the legendary genius Joe Raposo

[@katrp_5700]

I'm 12 and watching this makes me want to go see all my old Sesame Street videos...

[@Ashannon888]

Kinda saw "Rubber Ducky" being #1. Honestly, if they wanted a song with Ernie and the duck, they should have went with "Put Down the Ducky" with Hoots.

[@jessecampbell7351]

Ashannon888 A little unknown fact the very first Sesame Street song to be Play it on the radio was in fact rubber ducky

[@rebeccamichael626]

There was a claw machine in an arcade filled with rubber duckies. I tried to get as many as I could in about 15 tries, the ones I got were a purple one, a tie-dyed one, and one that looked like Rubber Duckie. When I got the one that looked like Rubber Duckie, I put it in a blue dish sitting on top of white foam, made dots with a hot glue gun, and put the dots around the it. Now it looks like it's in a bubble bath!

I remember all those songs except Elmo's Song, I was 13 years old when it came out. I used to have a Sesame Street song record when I was a lot younger & listened to it all the time, & had most of the songs that were mentioned. I like the Monster in the Mirror song because it had the different celebrities in it.

The Batty Bat made me dance so crazy when I was a preschooler! I even had Dance Along on VHS, but my toddler cousins now have it on DVD! I don’t know what their opinion on it is, though.

[@Andicurrie2]

Some of the most familiar and popular Muppets are full-bodied characters. Big Bird is the best known example, though his Sesame Street cohorts include Snuffy and his family, Bruno the Trashman, Sam the Robot and Barkley. The Muppet Show played host to Sweetums, Thog, Timmy Monster, The Mutations, Doglion, Behemoth, Fletcher Bird, and Sopwith the Camel. The Gorgs loomed large on Fraggle Rock, while Bear and his friend Ursa star in Bear in the Big Blue House. Later examples include Mopatop on Mopatop's Shop. Various overseas versions of Sesame Street have had their own larger than life stars, including Kippi Ben Kippod, Boombah, Nimnim, and Zeliboba. Feature films brought a new raft of full-bodied characters, including Miss Finch, Mommy Dodo, Daddy Dodo, Marie Dodo and Donnie Dodo from Follow That Bird, and The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come from The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Put Down the Duckie might have been too celebrity-focused and excluded by the opening disclaimer? Or they didn't want two songs about the Duckie on the list?

Guys give them a fucking break. They try to upload like 10 vids a day. No wonder they're running out of ideas.

Give them a break! For God sake. WatchMojo, we invite you to take a break to settle down and come up with better ideas. Oh, and you shouldn't upload so many videos. Upload 2-3 a day. That way you don't run out of ideas so fast. Take a break. You earned it :)

+Insomniac Gamer yeah. People bitch for the stupidest reasons

[@metashade4218]

My thoughts exactly...

[@mclaine33]

I think they should cut down a bit because there have been numerous times I've missed some videos and had to go back a few days to find them. I think they upload a lot because they have a huge team of employees creating these videos.

[@bohelton4511]

Or maybe they dont need to upload as much

[@whomst-d1556]

+Geargrind 0 yeah. I said that they should stop uploading as much. But that doesn't mean it's right that people are bitching about and giving them a hard time when they upload 10 vids a day.

It's not a bad list, but it did overlook a few favorites. "Imagination," sung by Bert and/or Ernie is a "Street" classic. Two others that I've loved since the '70s, and didn't expect to make the list, are "Telephone Rock" and the song about the country and the city sung by two Anything Muppets. "One Way" and "Subway" also come to mind.

That's certainly more iconic, I just momentarily forgot about it.

[@TotalAnimeFreak456]

Watching this video, it has dawned on me that Sesame Street was a lot more adult than I remember. I recall watching Elmo in Grouchland religiously as a kid, and I remember Bert and Ernie talking about stories that had sad endings, like Titanic and Gone with the Wind. Yes, draw-me-like-one-of-your-French-girls-steam-up-the-car Titanic and frankly-my-dear-I-don't-give-a-damn Gone with the Wind. Moreover, teaching kids that not all stories have happy endings... heavy stuff. Also, in the sidebar of this video, I see a Game of Thrones Sesame Street parody... what.
