Sesame Street/Awesome Music

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In all likelihood, any song you remember from this show, for better or worse, can be linked to either Joe Raposo or Tony Geiss. Oh, the tantrums that have been stopped...
    • Jeff Moss, Sam Pottle, and Christopher Cerf also deserve credit.
    • Another CMoA worthy of mention; during the show's first few years, Stevie Wonder performed one of the best versions of "Superstition" ever! Listen for yourself!
    • For that matter, how about the show's theme song?
    • Then there's the wonderful closing credits music that used to accompany Friday episodes, complete with Toots Thielemans' mellow harmonica rendition of the theme and the unforgettable "Funky Chimes" music.
    • "Put Down the Duckie"!
    • "C is For Cookie", and that's good enough for us!
