I don’t know that I have a favorite. (though, reading through this list a lot of songs are now stuck in my head) But I have a very specific memory of food on parade to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance.” I think it ended “and blueberry pie.” Did I imagine that? ---

I have a soft spot for “C is for Cookie.” My son would watch[this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA) over and over and over again when he was little. I loved Sesame Street when I was a kid, and I loved watching it with my son. He outgrew it around the time my daughter would’ve been into it, which sort of kept her from watching it as much as my son and I did, for which I’m kinda sad. I wish she had as many Sesame Street memories as I do (and my son will have). _sniff_ ---

> [@Dendarii\_Dame](#): > > “I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon”. Although if I had to choose my favorite from my childhood, it would be “Rubber Ducky”. Yes, I would have to agree with that. Funny how our tastes change 😊. ---

I have to say, Ladybug’s Picnic often runs through my head even today. ---

So many good ones listed above! I’ve always been partial to the creepy “[Would you like to buy an O](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtf7pocKg-E)?” I also like the [messed up versions of nursery rhymes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Ugqh471IE)as supplied by Don Music and Reporter Kermit. I sing those around the house sometimes just to watch my 5 y.o. get irrationally huffy. 😃 Unfortunately she never got into Sesame Street much. ---

Two of my top three have been mentioned already: Put Down The Ducky and Dance Myself To Sleep so I’ll add… The O Song. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/HiytkIXTkAo/hqdefault.jpg "Sesame Street - The 'O' Song") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiytkIXTkAo) I love the minor chords! ETA: Not the same O song as above… . ---

Great nominees here and I love most of them but There’s a few me and my brother still rock out to. 😉 [Telephone Rock - Little Jerry and the Monotones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLgF1CA56yg) How could anyone forget Little Chrissy and The Alphabeats? [Exit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dFYsrGw5eI) [Count It Higher](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC0c7hiOkxc) And this one - [Fat Cat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yuMzzREsUU&list=PLMznBQf6I4Oc308jVjPnNQTlObWPgLuvj) My daughter’s favorite is [Hot n Cold with Elmo and Katy Perry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHROHJlU_Ng)… I can’t say I mind 🙂 ---

> [@White SIFL](#): > > The O Song. > [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HiytkIXTkAo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HiytkIXTkAo) Oh yeah, I love [the E song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLbSongrzEY) that sits alongside this one. The violin is quite beautiful. ---

Oooh, here’s one that had been in the back of my mind. YouTube calls it [Sing Your Synonyms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RqSWgv3Nck), which takes place in an art gallery where Luis and Maria bicker about word choice. It’s a send-up of “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off”. ---

[How I Miss My X](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsGbqPp4pmU), sung by the _legendary_ Patti LaBelle. Another one I’d forgotten! ---

In the past three years I’ve had the opportunity to watch a lot of recent Sesame Street episodes on Netflix with a companion. Episode 4317 from 2013, “Figure It Out, Baby Figure It Out,” starring Donald Glover as musician LMNOP, has a [_very_ catchy tune](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMBbgy0TV6U) that promotes the theme of the episode. Sometimes you got a problem, the kind you can’t erase Sometimes it jumps up and slaps you in the face Don’t run around in circles, don’t scream and shout Just put your heads together and figure it out Figure it out, baby figure it out Figure it out, baby figure it out Don’t run around in circles, don’t scream and don’t shout Just put your heads together and figure it out There’s a lot to be said for “Onetwothree FOUR FIVE sixseveneightnineten ELEVEN TWELVE!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-favorite-sesame-street-song/780839.md?page=3)
