"Bug Choir" is a Sesame Street song performed by, as the title suggests, a bug choir. The song is performed to an excerpt of "Duo de la mouche" (Duet of the Fly) from Jacques Offenbach's opera Orpheus in the Underworld.
Denyce Graves leads a choir of Muppet bugs accompanied by Sesame Street residents wearing antennae who buzz like bugs in an operatic tune. In addition to the bugs, the choir consists of Telly Monster, Zoe, Elmo, Baby Bear, and the kids (Brittany Campbell, James Danner, Chloe Drummond, Luca Mannarino, and Sebastian Uriarte).
