Mitzy the Spider in the Sesame Street Live Show Let's Dance

"The Itsy Bitsy Spider," also known as "The Eensy Weensy Spider" is a popular nursery rhyme that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends and reascends the downspout or "waterspout" of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot). It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song. The most commonly referenced first published version was in 1962.

Adaptations[]

Recordings[]

  • Oscar performs the song in When Elmo Grows Up, a revised version of the 1993 Sesame Street Live tour.

References[]

  • Abby Cadabby lists the song as her favorite, in her profile on the (now defunct) social network TotSpot.
  • The spider (performed by Leslie Carrara-Rudolph) figures prominently in the plot of Episode 4226, where Elmo, Telly, and Rosita find the spider not in a water spout but under the Sesame Street sign, having made a web to hatch her egg.
