Totally 100% agree ...... I guess Some people just don't have much to do w/ their day ... So they have to find things to complain about !!!! I loved this list ... Brought back a few memories 😍😍
I hate to sound like a typical oldie at the age of 26 but these Sesame Street songs brings so much nostalgia as that I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid. Some of the songs I still remember off this show. And I remember the Elmo's song really well since it is the intro theme to Elmo's spin off show, Elmo's World.
The great Joe Raposo! My grandfather was actually friends with him because they were both musicians in Mass in the 50's-60's. An even bigger coincidence is that Raposo died on February 5, 1989, my birthday (before I was born, though).
I Don't Want to Live on the Moon is only an honorable mention? Nooooo! And unlike all you haters I really liked this top 10. Makes this grandma nostalgic...
Oh yeah, 'I don't want to live on the moon" was always my favorite Sesame Street song as a kid. I grew up on them and my kids grew up on them and very soon I will have grand children who will no doubt grow up on them.
Kinda saw "Rubber Ducky" being #1. Honestly, if they wanted a song with Ernie and the duck, they should have went with "Put Down the Ducky" with Hoots.
There was a claw machine in an arcade filled with rubber duckies. I tried to get as many as I could in about 15 tries, the ones I got were a purple one, a tie-dyed one, and one that looked like Rubber Duckie. When I got the one that looked like Rubber Duckie, I put it in a blue dish sitting on top of white foam, made dots with a hot glue gun, and put the dots around the it. Now it looks like it's in a bubble bath!
Put Down the Duckie might have been too celebrity-focused and excluded by the opening disclaimer? Or they didn't want two songs about the Duckie on the list?
Guys give them a fucking break. They try to upload like 10 vids a day. No wonder they're running out of ideas. If you're so pissed about them running out of ideas, you can either just leave or give them some! You guys are acting like they don't even try. They really are. They try and upload 10 vids a day. Give them a break! For God sake. WatchMojo, we invite you to take a break to settle down and come up with better ideas. Oh, and you shouldn't upload so many videos. Upload 2-3 a day. That way you don't run out of ideas so fast. Take a break. You earned it :)
I think they should cut down a bit because there have been numerous times I've missed some videos and had to go back a few days to find them. I think they upload a lot because they have a huge team of employees creating these videos.
+Geargrind 0 yeah. I said that they should stop uploading as much. But that doesn't mean it's right that people are bitching about and giving them a hard time when they upload 10 vids a day. I agree they should upload a lot less, but people can't just give them a hard time like that. People need to grow the fuck up
That "C is for Cookie" song was originally heard on a record album in which the Muppet characters sing and talk about the alphabet. Soon after its release, the song appeared on Sesame Street with Cookie Monster lip syncing the recording taken from the album with some of his furry friends, including Grover, Herry, Oscar the Grouch, etc. joining in on the chorus.
omg mr noodle died!! he such a legend well at least he has a brother and sister noodles... what one died the one with black hair or curly redheaded one?
you should of put sing in like top five its a classic... oh lord i watched the 50th anniversary show and in end all members past and present did sing together... i cried happy tears singing along with them even tho im 22. this show never gets old!
I used to sing "C is for Cookie" to my old cat when she was still alive (although her name was spelled with a K, so I replaced 'c' with 'k'). And I still sing "Rubber Duckie" once in a while in the shower.
My favorite song was "Do De Duck." It is another Ernie singing in the bath tub about his rubby duck, but much more lively. Brings new meaning to "Don't come knocking, if the tub is rocking." :p
The song "Being Green" was also featured on an episode of "Captain Kangaroo," where it was sung by Mr. Greenjeans the farmer, who wore green work jeans. I should know because I used watch that show as well as "Sesame Street."
Some of the most familiar and popular Muppets are full-bodied characters. Big Bird is the best known example, though his Sesame Street cohorts include Snuffy and his family, Bruno the Trashman, Sam the Robot and Barkley. The Muppet Show played host to Sweetums, Thog, Timmy Monster, The Mutations, Doglion, Behemoth, Fletcher Bird, and Sopwith the Camel. The Gorgs loomed large on Fraggle Rock, while Bear and his friend Ursa star in Bear in the Big Blue House. Later examples include Mopatop on Mopatop's Shop. Various overseas versions of Sesame Street have had their own larger than life stars, including Kippi Ben Kippod, Boombah, Nimnim, and Zeliboba. Feature films brought a new raft of full-bodied characters, including Miss Finch, Mommy Dodo, Daddy Dodo, Marie Dodo and Donnie Dodo from Follow That Bird, and The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come from The Muppet Christmas Carol.

The Batty Bat made me dance so crazy when I was a preschooler! I even had Dance Along on VHS, but my toddler cousins now have it on DVD! I don’t know what their opinion on it is, though.
It's not a bad list, but it did overlook a few favorites. "Imagination," sung by Bert and/or Ernie is a "Street" classic. Two others that I've loved since the '70s, and didn't expect to make the list, are "Telephone Rock" and the song about the country and the city sung by two Anything Muppets. "One Way" and "Subway" also come to mind.
I remember all those songs except Elmo's Song, I was 13 years old when it came out. I used to have a Sesame Street song record when I was a lot younger & listened to it all the time, & had most of the songs that were mentioned. I like the Monster in the Mirror song because it had the different celebrities in it.
Haaaaa, i loved number one. I think that was my favorite part about the show. Also my dad was very good at the cookie monster impression.....and he had an insanely funny facial expression when he impersonated Cookie Monster. :( Wish I could hear him do it again....
What is the Sesame Street number of the day Let's count the brain cells in Donald Trump's brain and find out 1 brain cell.... Yes the number of the day is 1 ah ah ah
+sponge bob I believe they will but from my understanding it won't be current episodes. It'll be episodes that aired 6 months ago or something like that.
An Australian children's show called "Play School" is turning 50 this year. We used to get Sesame Street and Play School back-to-back on tv when I was a kid. Both were staples of my childhood. Wish it was still that way for my daughter. Instead she gets old episodes of SS via TH-cam and I just got the 50th Anniversary 10 DVD set of Play School for her.
I actually wish I was involved in this list. Ask anyone I know, this is one of my favourite subjects. Shame to not see I Lost My Cookie At The Disco, Telephone Rock or Put Down The Duckie on the list. I was actually so sure Put Down The Duckie was going to be number one, but fair enough. That's certainly more iconic, I just momentarily forgot about it.
MY TOP 25 BEST Sesame Street Songs: 25. Alphabet Song (1969) 24. King of 8 (1971) 23. Martian Beauty #9 (1972) 22. Imagine That (Ernie) (1986) 21. Bert and Ernie L (1972) 20.

My favorite Sesame Street song is The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree. I remember watching it on the direct-to-video release, Sing Yourself Silly. It makes me wanna go to a farm and have a dance party there! I wish it made the list, though.
It looks like they're only doing 1 song per lead character, so Earnie only gets one. But going by the honorable mentions, I think we can all tell who the best singing character is.
Watching this video, it has dawned on me that Sesame Street was a lot more adult than I remember. I recall watching Elmo in Grouchland religiously as a kid, and I remember Bert and Ernie talking about stories that had sad endings, like Titanic and Gone with the Wind. Yes, draw-me-like-one-of-your-French-girls-steam-up-the-car Titanic and frankly-my-dear-I-don't-give-a-damn Gone with the Wind. Moreover, teaching kids that not all stories have happy endings... heavy stuff. Also, in the sidebar of this video, I see a Game of Thrones Sesame Street parody... what.
Ten!. Ten favorite songs!. Love it. Big fan of the show. Great music, and a lot of funny moments. Great list. A lot of these I've heard over the years, in different versions, from albums and the show itself.
So many good memories. Me and my Mom still "Sing a Song" from time to time. Also love La La La, What's the Name of that Song, C is for Cookie, One of These Things is Not like the Others, and anything Ernie or Elmo sing. I love Elmo so much, my first word was Elmo.
As an employee of Sesame Place, its great to see which songs everyone likes best. btw i hear these songs everyday and i still havent grown tired of them

everyone's hating and sayin that they ran out of ideas but I love this list
Agreed

Yup.
me too
+Christie Ramcharan same
The people disliking this video had a bad childhood.
I can't believe a Sesame Street list is what's making people lose their shit. What is this world coming to?
I hate it because there is no BA NA NANANA
Agreed
The people that hate it are rebel teenagers who hate shows for pre-schoolers.
They're a bunch of haters
It saddens me to see so much hate
I know right this list was adorable and lovable I loved Sesame Street people are so bitter 😢.
Totally 100% agree ...... I guess Some people just don't have much to do w/ their day ... So they have to find things to complain about !!!!
I loved this list ... Brought back a few memories 😍😍

Oh yeah, 'I don't want to live on the moon" was always my favorite Sesame Street song as a kid. I grew up on them and my kids grew up on them and very soon I will have grand children who will no doubt grow up on them.
Lisa Boban, Wait, your grandma? Ugh, shows just how old I am...
That song has stuck with me through life since Sesame Street. It’s one of those songs that sends you straight back to your childhood it’s beautiful!
Ikr. Like how dare you put it as an honorable mention.
Well this was a big nostalgia trip for me. Anyone else?
me too
yep #1 is my favorite and I am an old dude
yup
Me too 1980s and 1990s childhood memories Thank you(:
Yes
Does anyone else cry/almost cry or catch emotions when they hear 'I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" or is it just me?
Its beautiful
I Don't Want to Live on the Moon might not be as popular as some of these other songs, but in my opinion, it's the most meaningful to me.
Very true.
I personally am very thankful to sesame Street and the Muppets I learned English with the Muppets
i learned english with ed edd and eddie lol
+Defrap22 hehe I guess everything works
i learned it from porn
+ace legend that's the best way to learn it
Hi, from the future. Um... Sesame Street is now 50 years old.
"Sing" always makes me cry when I heard sung by Sesame Street. I cried when they played it at the Kennedy Center Honors.
“C Is For Cookie” should’ve been number one! And the omission of “ABC-DEF-GHI” & “The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree” is unacceptable!
I loved listening to Rubber Duckie as a kid and I still do today. It’s such a memorable song from my childhood. This hit right in the feels!
"A New Way To Walk" is my favorite "Sesame Street" song!
I don't want to live on the Moon is the best song on Seseame Street ever D:
Thank you!
It actually has a very deep meaning very few know about.
Kinda saw "Rubber Ducky" being #1. Honestly, if they wanted a song with Ernie and the duck, they should have went with "Put Down the Ducky" with Hoots.
Ashannon888 A little unknown fact the very first Sesame Street song to be Play it on the radio was in fact rubber ducky
There was a claw machine in an arcade filled with rubber duckies. I tried to get as many as I could in about 15 tries, the ones I got were a purple one, a tie-dyed one, and one that looked like Rubber Duckie. When I got the one that looked like Rubber Duckie, I put it in a blue dish sitting on top of white foam, made dots with a hot glue gun, and put the dots around the it.
Now it looks like it's in a bubble bath!
Spoiler 😒
"Do the duck, rubber duck, duck rubber duck.
@@jessecampbell7351 cool
Do a Part 2! There are SOOOO many great SS songs and just one Top Ten list barely scratches the surface!
My dad absolutely LOVES "Doing the Pigeon". He can actually make a pretty good pigeon noise.
C is for cookie
👍
That's good enough for me!
And cookie is for me
d is for doughnut
i love that song c is for a cookie.
I would have included "We Are All Earthlings" in this list, personally; that's always been one of my favorites.
Me: *reading title and laughs*
*LATER*
Me: I miss my childhood!
People in Your Neighborhood?
Somebody Come and Play?
Put Down the Duckie?
Put Down the Duckie might have been too celebrity-focused and excluded by the opening disclaimer? Or they didn't want two songs about the Duckie on the list?
What happened to Pinball Number Count? That song is so catchy and one of my favorites! I still sing it every once in a while despite being 26!
And the classic number song where the baker topples over with a sumptuous dessert
Same with those of us in our 40s
J jump joyful jumble around
That should've been number one! Had no idea what the name was, though ;-)
@@lesliechristie3592 Hey!
I STILL have it downloaded in my iTunes and, dispite being 31 now, I STILL listen to it every once in a while!

+Insomniac Gamer yeah. People bitch for the stupidest reasons
My thoughts exactly...
I think they should cut down a bit because there have been numerous times I've missed some videos and had to go back a few days to find them. I think they upload a lot because they have a huge team of employees creating these videos.
Or maybe they dont need to upload as much

RIP Mr. Noodle. Also, "Who are the people in your neighborhood?"
omg mr noodle died!! he such a legend well at least he has a brother and sister noodles... what one died the one with black hair or curly redheaded one?
The Mr. Noodles Brother Mr. Noodle actor
What a nostalgic trip. "Elmo's Song" turned into the Elmo's World Theme. Also where is "people in your neighborhood" That's a really good one?
One of the greatest shows that aired on tv
Agreed.
you should of put sing in like top five its a classic... oh lord i watched the 50th anniversary show and in end all members past and present did sing together... i cried happy tears singing along with them even tho im 22. this show never gets old!
I used to sing "C is for Cookie" to my old cat when she was still alive (although her name was spelled with a K, so I replaced 'c' with 'k'). And I still sing "Rubber Duckie" once in a while in the shower.
Aww my two favorites didn’t make it!! “Dance Myself To Sleep” and “Put Down the Duckie” - I just love Ernie :)
My favorite song is Oscar's "Sad Because I'm Happy"... I just love it's tune...
I love the Elmo song every time I sing it it brings back memories
Hard to bridge this show is already almost 50 years old
Fellow sentai fan
47 years to be exact Right now. If they do get to a 50th season, they better do something truly muppetational to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
OneManSentai my thoughts exactly! and 170 countries!
Today is Sesame Street's 48th anniversary.
hey you got to use the F word! Just like a real junior high kid Harris!
Fun fact both songs #10 and #9 were written by the legendary genius Joe Raposo
No People in Your Neighborhood? That's a classic one
Yeah I love that song too
My favorite song was "Do De Duck." It is another Ernie singing in the bath tub about his rubby duck, but much more lively. Brings new meaning to "Don't come knocking, if the tub is rocking." :p
Y'all forgot about "Put Down the Duckie" with Hoots the Owl and Ernie! 😃
This video brought back so many memories and such an intense wave of nostalgia I was brought to tears.

my childhood and I love this list
Some of the most familiar and popular Muppets are full-bodied characters. Big Bird is the best known example, though his Sesame Street cohorts include Snuffy and his family, Bruno the Trashman, Sam the Robot and Barkley. The Muppet Show played host to Sweetums, Thog, Timmy Monster, The Mutations, Doglion, Behemoth, Fletcher Bird, and Sopwith the Camel. The Gorgs loomed large on Fraggle Rock, while Bear and his friend Ursa star in Bear in the Big Blue House. Later examples include Mopatop on Mopatop's Shop.
Various overseas versions of Sesame Street have had their own larger than life stars, including Kippi Ben Kippod, Boombah, Nimnim, and Zeliboba.
Feature films brought a new raft of full-bodied characters, including Miss Finch, Mommy Dodo, Daddy Dodo, Marie Dodo and Donnie Dodo from Follow That Bird, and The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come from The Muppet Christmas Carol.

I teared up a little bit. I love Sesame Street
Been waiting all year for this top 10!
I LOVE Doing the Batty Bat and now my nephew thinks it's the funniest song I know and always wants me to sing it!

Believe in yourself and Me Yo is all about how special you are. Especially when Bob sings it with a nice tune.
Great list, but what about "Who are the people in your neighborhood"?
They put Don't Want to Live on the Moon in the honorable mentions list! They left out True Blue Miracle and Keep Christmas With You!
Totally forgot about that one....nice..
'We are all Earthlings' was my favorite as a kid
"I don't want to live on the moon" is my favorite, but I guess I was kinda expecting for it to get only an honorable mention
I wasn't. I wanted it on this list.
My favourite Sesame Street song is "Eight beautiful notes" (Sung by Count von Count).
But I know russian version of this song very well.
What is the Sesame Street number of the day
Let's count the brain cells in Donald Trump's brain and find out
1 brain cell....
Yes the number of the day is 1 ah ah ah
Thank you for this comment
You give Trump too much credit. 1 brain cell ? He wishes.
+Darkprosper Well, trump isn't dead. You have to have 1 brain cell to live
joey russ
"Trump isn't dead [citation needed]"
I'd rather have a stupid president than a flat out evil one. It sucks to have our choice narrowed to that.
I’m just glad, that C is For Cookie is even on the list!
Also, anybody remember Put Down the Duckie from Sing Yourself Silly? I loved that song. And that movie as well.
Do you know ant Things Are Always Changing?
Hard to imagine that the show is almost like 50 years old. Impressive considering it's for the kids!
Too bad it's now on HBO. Not many children in will be able to watch it
+sponge bob I believe they will but from my understanding it won't be current episodes. It'll be episodes that aired 6 months ago or something like that.
An Australian children's show called "Play School" is turning 50 this year. We used to get Sesame Street and Play School back-to-back on tv when I was a kid. Both were staples of my childhood. Wish it was still that way for my daughter. Instead she gets old episodes of SS via TH-cam and I just got the 50th Anniversary 10 DVD set of Play School for her.
+Clarrisani bro it still comes on tv on channel 22
Its can be for grown ups as well i'm in my mid 30's and i still watch my sesame street dvds from time to time
I don't know about you guys, but I think WatchMojo will have ideas for years
The song "Rubber Duckie" was written in 1970. The song's 50 years old this year!
I still sing a lot of these to this day and I'm 36.
I actually wish I was involved in this list. Ask anyone I know, this is one of my favourite subjects. Shame to not see I Lost My Cookie At The Disco, Telephone Rock or Put Down The Duckie on the list. I was actually so sure Put Down The Duckie was going to be number one, but fair enough.

"I don't want to live on the moon" should have made it on the list
Agrees. The significance of that song is so important.
YOU'RE BLOWING ME AWAY WITH THESE LISTS WATCHMOJO....
Mahna Mahna should have gotten a mention.
you know your sesame street!
Disney's The Muppets!
Carmine Crincoli actually Mahna Mahna originated on sesmene street. And why do you say disney the muppets?
Not Chuck Productions
I don't know, that song is perfect with The Muppets!
Carmine Crincoli I liked the Sesame Street version better. The Muppet version has Kermit talking through part of it.
I knew it! I knew "Rubber Duckie" would be number one! Not that I'm complaining, it is one of my favorites.
I long now to choreograph a perfect extraordinary waltz routine for "The Batty Bat"
That would be awesome
I remember singing The Batty Bat to the music class at my first elementary school! One of the students said that he had Dance Along on VHS!

And I'm only saying that because I've had a HUGE collection of rubber ducks for a couple of years now.
My childhood flashed before my eyes it was FANTASTIC!!!
so did mine
I really enjoyed this top 10, first I've seen in a while.
Why so much hate? Just don't watch, you knew what it was going to be about.
This brought tears to my eyes because of the nostalgia trip.
Keep up the good work, guys.
catluvr2 My favorite is "I Got A New Way To Walk" because it's so catchy and the lyrics are good.
My favorite Sesame Street song is The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree. I remember watching it on the direct-to-video release, Sing Yourself Silly. It makes me wanna go to a farm and have a dance party there! I wish it made the list, though.
"Who are the people in your neighborhood" didn't even make the list? wow!
ALL of the Ernie songs are the best Sesame Street songs! Hands down!
'Imagine that' better be on here or i'm going to be pissed.
You’re pissed
It looks like they're only doing 1 song per lead character, so Earnie only gets one.
But going by the honorable mentions, I think we can all tell who the best singing character is.
Sorry, honourable mention
You know I don't think I don't want to live on the moon shouldn't have been an honorable mention but, on this list instead.
4:56 Through all my childhood Ive never noticed how small elmo was xD
Watching this video, it has dawned on me that Sesame Street was a lot more adult than I remember. I recall watching Elmo in Grouchland religiously as a kid, and I remember Bert and Ernie talking about stories that had sad endings, like Titanic and Gone with the Wind. Yes, draw-me-like-one-of-your-French-girls-steam-up-the-car Titanic and frankly-my-dear-I-don't-give-a-damn Gone with the Wind. Moreover, teaching kids that not all stories have happy endings... heavy stuff. Also, in the sidebar of this video, I see a Game of Thrones Sesame Street parody... what.
Ten!. Ten favorite songs!. Love it. Big fan of the show. Great music, and a lot of funny moments. Great list. A lot of these I've heard over the years, in different versions, from albums and the show itself.
Sesame Street was my childhood and i am so glad to see this songs again
C is for Cookie is my favorite Sesame Street song.
Rachel Pursley Media Same! Best Sesame Street song ever!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So many good memories. Me and my Mom still "Sing a Song" from time to time. Also love La La La, What's the Name of that Song, C is for Cookie, One of These Things is Not like the Others, and anything Ernie or Elmo sing. I love Elmo so much, my first word was Elmo.
luv this list! thank u for making this!
I don't know if I fully agree with the list.
Oh my god, Thank You!
I was so worried you'd miss all the good ones but you included all the classics!
A list I can get behind!
my childhood from the early 80s when I was little and I am 33 years old.
#2 Rubber Ducky #1 Elmo's World
right elmo's Song is iconic and he still sings it
Yes YEEEEES
"Sing" should've gotten number 1. It's the "Rainbow Connection" of Sesame Street.
RIGHT!!!
+A.J. DeNofa Rainbow Connection is from The Muppet Movie, not Sesame Street.
My favorite was Ernie's Do De Duckie!
I do wish they had put "One Small Voice" in this list too. :-/
6:43
Holy Wow! Just goes to show that Sesame Street really IS Open to accepting anyone and everyone!
I loved "Roosevelt Franklin how old are you?" But they retired the character
Other honourable mentions for me: “If Moon were Cookie” and “Peligro”.
Calling it right now: Rubber Ducky #1
I didn't know Sing a Song was from Sesame street. Huh.
You called it
finally I've been waiting for this forever
