"Bells" is a Sesame Street song about all the different kinds of bells which ring during the day, including alarm clocks, telephones, school bells and doorbells. It is sung by Anything Muppets wearing sunglasses, with the lead singer performed by Jim Henson.
An abridged version of the song was also performed on the "Bell Channel" in Elmo's World: Bells.
