"Satin Doll" is a jazz tune typically performed by Duke Ellington, who co-wrote the piece. The song has since been covered by numerous artists.
The song was used in Episode 3457 of Sesame Street. Michael Jeter, playing bird impressionist Michael Tweeter, performs the song at Birdland in an impression of "Duck" Elligton, quacking all the lyrics.
