Songs from Sesame Street
Released 1983
Format LP
Label Sesame Street Records
Cat no. CTW 22104

Born to Add is a collection of rock and roll songs from Sesame Street. Many of the songs featured obscure or one-shot Sesame Street characters which were parodies of popular classic rock bands. However a number of well-known characters (Bert, Count von Count and Cookie Monster) were featured.

This album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children, but lost to the Michael Jackson-narrated read-along album from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.

The album was re-released in 1993 on cassette and 1995 on CD and cassette, with some songs deleted and replaced by more contemporary tracks (see below for details).

The album cover, like the title song, is a parody of Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.
