"Rebel L" is a Sesame Street parody of the Billy Idol song, "Rebel Yell", sung by Billy Idle, the rebel L, and a police officer. The Rebel L makes a loud "luh-luh-luh" noise and protests outside of Billy Idle's house at night.

Song co-writer Christopher Cerf provided vocals for the Rebel L, while Ivy Austin is heard as the female police officer.
