"Gimme Some Rock 'n Roll" is a song from Big Bird's "Yellow Ambition Rock Concert Tour" as seen in Episode 2938.

On the last stop of the tour, Big Bird and his band appear at the bus stop, where Luis waits for his bus. Their song is about a time when Big Bird wanted some rock and roll, but people gave him things that rhyme with "rock" instead (including a clock and sock). After the song, Luis' bus arrives, but can't get past Big Bird to catch it.

The song parodies "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger. An instrumental version of the song is later heard on Ernie's radio in a season 25 sketch.
