"Hooray for Captain Spaulding" is a song originating from the Marx Brothers' production, Animal Crackers. It later served as the theme song for You Bet Your Life.
The tune has been referenced a number of times on Sesame Street in scenes referencing Groucho Marx. In Episode 3366, a snippet of the song is used as a music button in a scene involving Groucho glasses. The song underscores a scene from Episode 3826 in which Maria and Luis portray Marx Brother-esque doctors. In "Elmo's World: Eyes," a pastiche of the tune underscores the arrival of a talking pair of Groucho glasses.
