"Just Happy to Be Me" is a Sesame Street song performed by Kingston Livingston III, with some back up from his friends. In this song, Kingston sings about preferring to do things his own way, as opposed to doing things just because everybody else does them.
The song was later performed by The Fugees, who added additional lyrics, on Elmopalooza. On Plaza Sésamo, Lola and Kadjaly Marichal Ibar performed the Fugees version of the song.
Notes
- The cutaway verse with a monochrome effect of Kingston dancing with his friends was taped during the recording of Episode 3163, an episode also featuring a prominent story with Kingston.
