The song "Elmo's Song", which is featured on Sesame Street, is a sweet and simple ode to three of the show's most popular characters. The song begins with Elmo's name being repeated over and over again, accompanied by the sound "la la la", which is a nod to the optimistic, carefree nature of childhood. The lyrics then say that Elmo loves to sing and that he wrote the song's music and lyrics. The song then shifts to talk about the character Big Bird, who also has a song named after him. The final verse mentions Snuffy, another beloved character on the show, and states that we and Snuffy wrote the words to his song.
