SCENE 1 | Big Bird sees a chair has been set upside down in the yard. Tom explains he did that in order to paint its bottom. Big Bird envisions what the street would be like if everything were upside down. In his fantasy, Sesame Street becomes Upside Down Street, where he's the only thing right side up. He observes a kid riding his bicycle and Tom watering one of the trees. He asks Tom to get some birdseed from Hooper's Store, but when the bag is turned correctly for him, all of the seed falls up. Big Bird doesn't think he likes it when everything is upside down, and stops imagining. |

SCENE 2 | Oscar is upset that his radio is no longer working, causing him to miss "Greta Grouch's Grumble Hour." Gordon and the kids figure out that the problem is that it's not plugged in. Then, Oscar forgets to turn it on. Finally, Gordon sees a loose wire in the back and repairs it quickly. The radio now works and plays some pleasant music. Oscar takes the screwdriver and works on it some more; that way, he can enjoy the sounds of static instead. |
