Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Everyone on Sesame Street heads over to the yard, where Hooper's Store is hosting a Karaoke Night. As they make their way to the yard, Baby Bear explains the premise to Telly Monster, who is apprehensive of the concept. While the residents find their seats and comment on the night's proceedings, Baby Bear signs himself and Telly up to perform. Baby Bear opts to go first to show Telly how easy it will be.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	On the empty stage, Gladys the Cow tries to command some attention by singing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" until Alan shoos her away. He introduces the show and brings on the first performer - Big Bird, who sings "ABC-DEF-GHI" with the crowd. Watching the song, Telly doesn't feel any less nervous.
	SCENE 1, cont'd	After Gladys attempts a verse of "Shine On, Harvest Moon," Alan edges her offstage to allow Rosita to sing "You Say Hola and I Say Hola." She messes up a word and gets flustered, but with encouragement from her friends, she presses onward and finishes the song. Baby Bear points out that even if one makes a mistake, they can still have fun, but Telly is still not convinced.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Next up, Miles and Gabi sing "A New Way to Walk." Gladys makes another "cow-aoke" attempt to sing "That's Amore" until Alan cuts her off once more. He then joins Gina and Elmo as they sing "Ladybugs' Picnic." Alan starts too early, but they all have a good laugh about it and start over.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Baby Bear's turn has finally come. He's prepared to sing "Let's Go Driving," but as soon as he faces the crowd, he freezes up, unable to perform. Despite encouragement from the crowd, he's still petrified. Telly sees his best friend needs his help and rushes onstage to help him. He reminds him that the audience is full of their good friends and even starts singing the song to build up his prowess. Soon, Baby Bear's fear subsides and starts singing with his friends.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Next, it's Bob's turn to take the stage. Just as he gets partway through the chorus of "The People in Your Neighborhood," the karaoke machine suddenly malfunctions. "What can I say? It's a rental," says Alan. Telly volunteers to play some music with his tuba, and soon, others fetch their instruments to play the song as Bob sings. Watching from down the block, Oscar bemoans the fact that he can't escape the street residents' fun even at nighttime.
