Your 10 Favorite Sesame Street Songs

[TravellingMatt]

Here are mine!

1. J Friends-if anything because the voices Jerry and Jim used for the Anything Muppets in this song would later be used for Floyd & Dr. Teeth
2. Ha Ha--a rare Harvey Kneeslapper appearance!
3. I Love Trash--OSCAR RULES!
4. Put Down The Duckie--I always liked this one
5. Count It Higher--Same here. Chris Cerf should've done more work with the Muppets outside of Sesame Street
6. Count Up To Nine--How much do I think the Count rules? Let me COUNT the ways, von, two, three, four, ah ha ha ha ha..
7. With Every Beat Of My Heart--Little Jerry has to be one of Mr. Nelson's more underrated characters
8. I Don't Want To Live On The Moon--just a quiet, introspective song by the normally rambunctious Ernie
9. The First Day Of School--Another great Count perfomance.
10. Fuzzy And Blue (And Orange)--another song I've always loved.

Honorable Mention: Little Miss Count Along

[The Count]

Well, these may not be from Sesame Street, but for me...

These are the most beautiful or transcedant songs from the Muppets I've heard.
1 Bein' Green, with the parenthetical title of (It's Not Easy) Bein' Green.
2 Sing, at least the original version or a version sung as closely to that as possible as in the Lena Horne episode of TMS.
3 The Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie.
4 When the River Meets the Sea from Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.
Hope this helps and have a good day.

4. C Is For Cookie
5. Teeny Little Super Guy Theme
6. Big Bird ABC Song
7. Oinker Sisters - Ive got a new way to walk

[Splurge]

My top favorite is the series of Jim Henson's number films with the falling chef. Mostly because of the music.

Also, "It's a Long Hard Climb", where Raposo harmonizes with itself.

"Mad" by Little Jerry and the Monotones

I guess I tend to have a fondness for relatively underrated songs.

 

[ssetta]

I often tend to like a lot of those songs that were never very popular.

Here's a list of my 10 Favorite Songs that were NEVER released on any albums:

City/Country Song
Elevator Song (1-10/10-1)
"G" Song
Cry
Baby's Life
D Du-ah Du-ah
Big Kids Cry Too
Long Time, No See
Raise Your Hand
Danger's No Stranger

See, I like a lot of those songs that nobody remembers anymore except me.
