"Me Gotta Be Blue" is a Sesame Street song. Cookie Monster sings a rousing anthem about being blue. He is joined by his "blue family" -- his sister and his mother, who "give all she worth just to give birth to blues." A chorus of blue monsters chimes in, including Grover, Mona Monster, Maurice Monster, Bruce, Herry Monster and two Anything Muppet monsters.
The song is a spoof of "I've Gotta Be Me."
