Anyone seen this episode from the early 80's?

The adults and kids of Sesame Street saw Dr. Nobel Price with a poster of a strange animal. It had the body and legs of an elephant, neck of a giraffe, ears of a bunny, tail of a monkey, wings of a butterfly, and the head of a duck. Dr. Price called it an Elegabunnymonkeybutterduck and he was going to catch one and become famous. The adults wished him luck, knowing he probably won't succeed.

Dr. Price went around SS with a huge net shouting, "Here Elegabunnymonkeybutterduck!" At first he thought he saw one, but it was just a film about a live elephant.

Then Dr. Price went to Hooper's store and asked for a peanut butter, carrot, banana, flower sandwich on white bread, hoping it would lure the creature to him. The adults decided to do something about this.

They had a stuffed Elegabunnymonkeybutterduck made and placed it in front of Dr. Price. He caught it with his net and tried to get it to eat the sandwich. But then found out it was just a doll and got upset. The adults explained that Dr. Price had a great immagination and should be proud of himself for creating such an animal. They told Dr. Price to squeeze the doll and it made a rubber duckie sound along with an elephant trumpet. Dr. Price became happy that he danced around with his new toy and started singing, "Oh Elegabunnymonkeybutterduck, you're the one!"

I don't remember what season. But I do remember it came on between somwhere during 80 to 84, when Dr. Price was a regular character for a while.

I remember this one and it was from the 1983-1984 Season (Season 15) and Dr. Nobel Price was on the show until 1987, In 1984 after Brian Meehl left the show Kevin Clash took over as his performer.
