Guess what Elmo's thinking about today? | Elmo opens his (singing) door to a chorus of kids singing the "Elmo's World Theme." The following film includes children singing "Sing," "The Alphabet Song," and "Happy Birthday to You," a mother singing to a baby "Brahms' Lullaby," and a boy singing the final lyric of the "Elmo's World Theme." On home video releases, "Happy Birthday to You" is edited out. |

Dorothy's Question | Dorothy wants to know how you sing. |
 |
The Noodle Family | Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle cackles like a rooster, moos like a cow, gargles, and quacks like a duck before he lip-syncs to "La donna è mobile" of Giuseppi Verdi's Rigoletto from a radio player. |
 |
Kids and Baby | Three kids sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" as a round. |
 |
Elmo's Question | Elmo counts pigs in a barbershop quartet, who sing "Sweet Adeline" until they're pulled away by a stage hook. |
 |
Quiz | Elmo wonders what sings and what doesn't. Dogs do. Pineapples don't, but Elmo can sing with a pineapple. Clocks don't, unless it's a cuckoo clock. Bathtubs don't, but Ernie sings in the bathtub. He appears with his Rubber Duckie to sing a verse of "Rubber Duckie." The original album recording with Jim Henson's vocals is used here.
After the quiz, the pig barbershop quartet resume singing until they're pulled away once more. |
 |
Film | Elmo's friend Samantha learns how to participate in a playground-style hand-clapping/singing game. |

Home video releases omit the "I'm a Little Teapot" portion. This segment also appears in Kids' Favorite Songs 2. |

 |
The Sing Song | Elmo and Diva D'Abruzzo sing the "Sing Song." |
Notes[]
- The recording of Verdi's "La donna e mobile" that Mr. Noodle lip-syncs to is from a 1971 performance of Rigoletto. A co-production of the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, tenor Luciano Pavarotti sang as the Duke of Mantua (and it's his vocals Mr. Noodle lip-syncs to).
