Songs of Sesame Street
By: Keith
Sesame Street is well known for having celebrities guest host their programming. Through the years many of these celebrities have been singers. I’ve done some searching and dug up some of these entertaining performances. There were some that I wanted to include but couldn’t. Alicia Keys was one that had a great guest spot singing about the letter L. Unfortunately the Youtube video is of poor quality, and I couldn’t add it here. Some, like Garth Brook’s appearance, I couldn’t even find. These are the ones I could find. I hope you like them!

What, no Ladybug Picnic? haha. ‘Tis well Alicia Keys didn’t work out. She doesn’t rate with the heavy hitters like Cab Calloway, Johnny Cash and Placido Domingo.
I gotta admit, Alicia Keys is not exactly my favorite person, but I do like her music. You’re right though; she’s not in the same league as Cab Calloway, Johnny Cash and Placido Domingo! Totally.
Some interesting videos. Do a search for “Billy Joel sesame street”, I thought that was a good one too.
Thanks for the comment, David. I saw the Billy Joel video when I was compiling this list. Don’t know particularly why I didn’t add it. Hmmm.
Sesame Street was my favorite when I was a kid. I really like the muppets. In fact, they have a movie and show of their own.
Breanna — The muppets are awesome. And then there was also Fraggle Rock!
