Sesame Street 80s Music Mashup Parody

Sesame Street Presents the 80s is an original Sesame Street web video, featuring a series of song parodies, released on the show's official social media accounts on July 27, 2017. The YouTube version contains the full, six-minute video, while all other accounts trim down to just the musical portions. The shorter edits also re-arrange the order in which the songs appear.

In the video, Prairie Dawn prepares for the Sesame Street Glee Club's performance. Cookie Monster consumes the lyric sheets as well as Grover's phone, where the music is kept. From inside his tummy, Cookie inadvertently starts up Grover's playlist of songs from the 1980s while the cast performs parodies of the tunes.

The video was written by Andrew Moriarty and Maxwell Nicoll.[1]
