"Hands" is a Sesame Street song sung by the Count about the many things that hands can do. The song was originally performed by the Count in his castle.
In season 23, the segment was re-filmed and set outside of his castle. This version includes film clips (such as hands clapping together, a hand picking a red flower, and a girl tying her shoe) from several other songs and sketches. Gordon, Bert, The Two-Headed Monster and Big Bird appear in some of the clips. (First: Episode 3002)
Notes[]
- In the original recording, the Count erroneously states that he's listed 12 things in the first verse. After the second verse, he correctly states counting 11 things, but adds the two together and says he's sung 22 things. The numbers were corrected for the Season 23 recording.
