Count It Higher (song)



Count it Higher is a Sesame Street song about the thrill of counting, performed by Little Chrissy and The Alphabeats. The song, somewhat reminiscent of "Twist and Shout," featured the debut of Little Chrissy and The Alphabeats. In their first appearance, there are three Alphabeats (besides Little Chrissy) instead of two, and the two members who regularly appeared look slightly different: The purple Alphabeat has messy blond hair instead of smooth brown hair, the green Alphabeat has spiky black hair instead of smooth blonde hair, and they both have wide circular eyes and no eyelids.

This song was later included in the Sesame Street Live show Let's Be Friends.

In Count it Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street, it was lsited as number 1 on The Count's Countdown Show because it was The Count's favorite song.
