"Beatin' the Quake" is a Sesame Street song written exclusively for the Big Bird Get Ready For Earthquakes kit.
The song is featured in the audio story included in the kit, Elmo and the Earthquake. The song is performed by Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats, who describe how one can stay safe when an earthquake strikes.
The song, introduced by Big Bird, plays at both the beginning and end of the tape. In the story itself, Susan teaches the chorus of the song to Elmo, who later teaches it to Luis.
