The Word is "No"



Performed by: Maria and Gina With Appearances By: Big Bird, Grover, Prairie Dawn, Bert, Ernie, Hoots the Owl, Count von Count, Meryl Sheep, and Elmo

A music video-style song about the word "no".

The video for "The Word is 'No'" was animated and directed by Jim Blashfield, who is noted for creating highly-acclaimed music videos for, among others, Talking Heads ("And She Was"), Michael Jackson ("Leave Me Alone") and Paul Simon ("The Boy in the Bubble"). Blashfield's unique collage animation style is notable in all these pieces, and in another frequently-shown music video he directed for Sesame Street, "Monster in the Mirror."
