A series of videos produced for the Sesame Street YouTube channel involve Elmo and Abby Cadabby playing the guessing game "I Spy," singing an original song with the refrain "doo da doo da doodily dee."
In the first eight videos released from 2018 to 2019, Abby magically transports her and Elmo to an animated environment and turns Elmo into the color of the objects they're looking for. Two more fully-animated videos followed in 2024, with Elmo and Abby now looking for shapes.
The "I Spy" song has also been used in the Halloween edition of the Sesame Place show Our Street Is Sesame Street, and the Sesame Street Live show Say Hello.
