You didn't just learn letters, numbers, and the occasional bit of Spanish from Sesame Street. You also learned about rock 'n' roll. Presenting part one of a two-part compilation of our favorite Sesame Street song parodies, from rockabilly to disco. Pop music has never been so educational, nor so furry...
Honk Around The Clock
As we all know, rock 'n' roll was born when R&B was appropriated by the honkies.

Count My Blue Suede Shoes
Not only was The Count a number-rock icon, he also brought the bouffant to Transylvania.

Shake Your Rattle And Roll
Rock 'n' roll was an expression of youthful rebellion, and it doesn't get any more youthful than this.

Eight Balls Of Fur
Wild, outlandish hairstyles have always been part of rock, too.

It's Yours And Mine
Ladies and genetlemen, presenting the legendary Muppet in Black!

Thinking Of U
Then four antenna-tops emerged from the sewers of Liverpool to capture the world's heart and nibble on the world's garbage.

Hey Food
The Beetles are joined by Cookie Monster for this rare superjam. Trivia: this song was written to inspire Julian Lennon to finish his bangers and mash.

Letter B
The tension was pretty thick in the Beetles' camp at this point, but they managed one last alphabetical classic before they broke up.

With A Little Yelp From My Friends
Here we can see the Beetles' influence on the wider pop world. The dog does a decent Joe Cocker, but it'd help if he had more body hair.

Cookie Disco
A fursploitation funk classic: "Whose appetite is completely out of sight? Cookie! Have mercy!"

I'm just talking 'bout Cookie. And we can dig it. Join us next week for part 2 as the Muppets take us through the '70s and '80s, from soft rock ("Felines") to new wave ("Rebel L"). And post your favorite Sesame Street song parodies below...
