"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" is a traditional children's song. The song explains that the singer shares the same name as the titular character, and people always recognize them when they go out. The song is typically repeated several times; sometimes each repetition may get louder or softer.
In addition to being performed on many Sesame Street albums and videos, it was performed by Sandra Bullock in episode 107 of Muppets Tonight.
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem sing the song in The Muppets Mayhem episode "The Times They Are A-Changin'."
