Album Summary
Bert is reading and Ernie is playing his video game, but the new CD is about to start... Bert and Ernie sing songs about things you can sing about, about being the best friends in the world, and about Bert's laughing fit. Ernie reads a story in Bert's book about the pencils Zippy and Zoppy: Zippy is worried because Zoppy hasn't returned from the baker shop. Bert wants Ernie to come with him to the Pigeon Ball. By showing the differences between an apple and a banana, Ernie shows Bert that life can be good sometimes, and sometimes it isn't. Bert sings a song about how wonderful life is, and Ernie sings about not being able to decide what to do.

The apartment is a mess. Ernie and Bert can't find any of their toys, so they decide to do some "singsearching" while cleaning the room. Just as they're finished, Uncle Rudolf enters the room, with a box full of old books, toys and other things he found in the attic. He sings about how his old stuff brings back good memories: Bert and Ernie can have them, so he won't have to throw anything away. Among the things in the box is Rudolf's old clarinet, which sounds like it's talking gibberish: the perfect thing to use for a song! In the end, Bert finally gets to read his Zippy and Zoppy book, while Ernie thumbs through Uncle Rudolf's science book and learns how to make a whistle from a seashell.

Trivia

 * This is the eighth Bert and Ernie album, and the seventh for which Wim T. Schippers and Paul Haenen wrote their own material. The seventh album was released almost ten years earlier: Wim and Paul released two more new Bert and Ernie albums in 1996.
