  1. Really? I’m dying to know who approved this as an appropriate song for Sesame Street? The little girl adlibbing and singing is just too cute, though.

    • Hi Sharry,
      (Sorry for the late response. I was out of the country for a week.)
      The little girl is really cute. I bet she was ad-libbing in rehearsal and they just went with it.
