Notes[]
- The street story is borrowed from Sesame Workshop's outreach program, Food for Thought: Eating Well on a Budget, albeit editing out a scene featuring Baby Bear and his family. As a result of the edit, most of the final number is re-filmed so that Baby Bear isn't included. However, a brief clip of the scene appears in the online trailer for the episode.
