What song can you not get out of your head?

This tune has been stuck in my head all day - 1980s singer Robbie Nevil's biggest hit (and pretty much only major hit).

The Happiest Street in the World.


Listening to this, I feel like this would make a good replacement theme song if they had to create a new one (though I feel if they did it now as opposed to the late-1970s/early-1980s it wouldn't be the same).

In fact, I feel this song should have been in Follow That Bird, whether in the first or last street scenes (or both).

I also feel it would make a good song to use in an advertisement for Sesame Street Live (the Muppet Wiki page says it's been in several Sesame Street Live shows though only specifies one such show, Out of This World) or Sesame Park. Heck, on an unrelated note, I also feel it would make a great song to use in a commercial for Chuck E. Cheese or a similar kind of place.
My God is this song piercing my soul for being a Sesame Street disco song. Thank God Big Bird's vocals bring it back to reality. Disco can admittedly be cheesy, but some good songs came out of the genre. I love melancholic bittersweet happy/sad songs like this. The chick was actually a porn actress.:big_grin:

Also, I don't ever want to see Ernie in disco clothes ever again... Bert on the other hand is fire.

You know what I actually have stuck in my head right now?

"Mom's tree is over here, back there is daddy's tree - they live in different places, but they both love me!"

To be honest, I'd love it if Sesame Workshop put that up on their channel.

I also have a Sesame Street song stuck in my head. It's the Mother's Day song from a couple years ago. I've actually managed to memorize all the words (yes, even the Two- Headed Monster's part), which, knowing me, it's quite the accomplishment. Anyways, I really love this song and like how it's a lot like the opening of a musical:

Still, my only quibble with the song was how Big Bird was singing about how much of a mother Nina is to him, even though that was really only her, what, second or third appearance on the show at that point, and we hadn't even seen her interact with Big Bird much at that point. But like Shane said, considering the target audience doesn't usually pay much attention to continuity like us, why would they care?

Yeah, it bothered me a bit at first, and it's possibly further proof that Leela was originally intended to continue on the show.
