One Way

"One Way" is a song featured in episode 1094 of Sesame Street. It tells the story of a greaser who can't get to his girlfriend's house because of a One Way sign on the road. He thinks his relationship is ruined until his guardian angel comes and shows him an alternate route he can take. Although the beginning makes it look like it is going to be a tearjerker (I'm so lonely I wish I was dead" is the first line of the song) it has a happy ending, with the greaser and his girlfriend riding around the block on his motorcycle. This song is reminiscent of "Leader of the Pack" and similar songs, and fans sometimes say the greaser muppets remind them of Happy Days.
