Sesame Street: Monster Hits!



Warm and Fuzzy (and blue and orange!)
Similar to "The Best of Kermit" this is arranged as an "award show" - but it contains a fabulous collection of clips with your favorite monsters, and some you've never seen before!

Herry and Elmo host the "Fuzzy Awards," and though Elmo can hardly wait to open the envelope, Herry manages to make him behave while they play the nominees - "Fur," just for fun, "Herry's Family Song," comparing Herry and his parents, "Frazzle," - who says "arrrgh!" no matter what he feels, "Two Heads Are Better than One", with the two-headed monster, "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange!)" with the terrific trio of Grover, Herry, and Cookie (and Frazzle), "Comb Your Face," "Healthy Food," a Cookie Monster rap, "What Do I Do When I"m Alone" with Grover (what happened to Being Afraid?) and, of course "C is for Cookie."

My favorite moment in the show is the achievement award, which Herry gives to "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine," a song remeniscent of "Dream a Little Dream" that makes me give my boy an extra...

Your favorite Sesame Street monster is in this video!
Sesame Street's monsters shine in this song-filled, 30-minute video. Highlights are Grover's "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?" and Cookie Monster's "C Is For Cookie", both from 1971. More obscure favorites are 1975's "Fur" and "Frazzle". For those Elmo fans out there, be forewarned: this video came out before Elmo became huge, and therefore, has minimal representation. If you love the monsters and if you love good songs, this video is for you! END

Nothing like the Street
My sister played this for my toddler when we were visiting her, and now that we're back home my son daily asks for "monters." This is great vintage and contemporary Sesame Street fare. Songs like "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine" are musically sophisticated enough to please parents, and there's also good variety in the selections, which is a help to parents who will hear the songs OVER and OVER and OVER again.
