"Eight Balls of Fur" is a Sesame Street song performed by Little Chrissy. In this number, a sound-alike of the rock and roll classic "Great Balls of Fire," Little Chrissy boisterously pounds the piano while the eight titular furballs dance. The number ends with the destruction of the piano, which took more and more damage throughout the number.

The balls of fur in this segment are performed using the Black Theater technique.
