Back To Index Sesame Street: Put Down the Duckie - An All-Star Musical Special
 Barnes & Noble Gladys Knights pip of a rendition of the Sesame Street theme song gets this star-studded collection of the shows most memorable musical numbers off on a happy note. The highlight, though, is "Put Down the Duckie," a joyous sing-and-squeak-along that features cameos by, among others, John Candy, Celia Cruz, Danny DeVito, Pee Wee Herman, Jeremy Irons, Ladysmith Black Mombazo, Wynton Marsalis, Itzhak Perlman, Pete Seeger, and Paul Simon. Other celebrity visitors to Sesame Street include Martina Navratilova, Ralph Nader, and Phil Donahue. More savory selections: Barbara Walters is charmingly off-key on "People in Your Neighborhood"; her old 20/20 co-host Hugh Downs investigates "cookiegate"; Patti LaBelle spells out a sultry "I Miss My X"; James Taylor and a chorus of kids sing the sweetly silly "Jelly Man Kelly"; and Seiji Ozawa conducts an all-animal orchestra. As Donahue points out, Sesame Streethas long been a place "where people, animals, birds, and monsters all live in perfect harmony." And thats what makes revisiting these sunny, pre-Elmo era chestnuts such a pleasure. Donald Liebenson Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
