Elmo's Song



"Elmo's Song" is a Sesame Street song from 1989. Elmo writes his own song and sings it for Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, who then wish that they had their own songs. Elmo lets them insert their own names into the lyrics, resulting in "Big Bird's Song" and "Snuffy's Song." The sketch ends with Elmo calling for Gordon and Gabi, so that they can have their own songs. All video releases cut this ending.

A variation of "Elmo's Song" is used as the opening theme for Elmo's World.
