Monster in the Mirror

Monster in the Mirror is a Sesame Street song from 1990, sung by Grover. The lyrics were written by Norman Stiles and the music by Christopher Cerf.

In this song, Grover wakes up one morning and sees a monster in his mirror (his reflection). Instead of being scared, he just sings, "Wubba wubba wubba wubba, woo woo woo." The clip features all a number of camera tricks, such as a sequence in which a full-body Grover walks in front of a mirror showing his animated reflection. At the end of the song, Grover has his arm around his reflection and vice versa.

A year later, the song was re-edited to include cameos by many celebrities who had appeared on the show that year, including Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Charles, Robert MacNeil, and even the cast of The Simpsons.

The original, non-celebrity version was included on the videos Rock & Roll and Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration!. The celebrity version was included in the special Big Bird's Birthday or Let Me Eat Cake. A clip from the celebrity version was included in Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever.

This song was also included in the albums Put Down the Duckie, Platinum All-Time Favorites, Songs From The Street, and other albums. Lyrics and pictures from this song were included in Sesame Street Unpaved
