Picture	Segment	Description
	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".
	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	Dogs can sing, but pineapples, clocks and bathtubs can't. Ernie appears in a bathtub 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.
	TV Cartoon	The Singing Channel features the Lecture Lady singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." After the song, the spider sings "I'm a Little Teapot" with her. Stay tuned for Singing in the Rain. This portion was seen in Kids' Favorite Songs 2
	Interview	Elmo sings to opera singer Diva D'Abruzzo who illustrates that she can sing high, low, fast and slow. They sing in an opera style.
	Tickle Me Land	Dorothy imagines Elmo as The Three Elmos, Elvis Presley and a rapper.
	Home video	In the video, Big Bird sings a lullaby to his teddy bear Radar. Elmo drowsily turns to the camera and yawns. Back in Elmo's World, Elmo is fast asleep until TV nudges him awake.

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).
