Songs that should have been covered on Sesame Street

[Super Scooter]

Whenever I hear the song "Let it Be", I think Sesame Street should cover it as "Letter B".

 

[mikebennidict]

they did.

 

[Super Scooter]

er, yeah... someone corrected me on that...

 

[Medbe Monster]

The SS Cast should've sang Frank Sinatra's New York New York.

 

[Barry Lee]

They did sing that on "The Night of 100 Stars" along with Fozzie, Gonzo, Kermit and the TMS gang. Around the mid to-late 80's.

Were talking about SS not TMS.

 

[Barry Lee]

Yeah I know, BUT the Sesame Street cast sang along with the TMS cast. Thats why I brought it up.
​

 

[mikebennidict]

Oh. I see.

So sorry.

...Oh, and you know what? I just realized that they DID feature a cover of "All Together Now" on Sesame Street during its first season! Learn something new everyday...

Some more ideas:

* "This Diamond Ring" (The Anything Muppets)

* "Happy Together" (sung to a large letter U)

* (concept same as above, but it's this one song called "You Were On My Mind" or something like that. It was from the 60s, and I remember seeing it on some infomercial for the "60s Gold" CD collection")

Believe it or not there was an R&B artist named Eddie Floyd who in the late 60's did record a song called Big Bird but certainly had nothing to do with the SS character. But if he'd had amde an appearance on the show it would of been a very interesting skit.

Floyd is probably better know for a 1966 hit called Knock On Wood.
