"Elmo's Song" is a musical number from the popular children's show Sesame Street. The lyrics of the song capture the essence of what the character Elmo is all about. The opening lines of the song say, "La la la la, Elmo's song. La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's song." The repetition of the phrase "Elmo's song" is the key to this lyric, as it emphasizes the self-focused nature of the character. Elmo loves to sing, and the next few lines, "He loves to sing, la la la la, Elmo's song. La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's song," illustrate just how much he enjoys it.
In the verse that follows, the same format is used to introduce two other characters from Sesame Street, Big Bird and Snuffy, and their respective songs. The key difference between their songs and Elmo's is that these characters express their love for singing and music, rather than just focusing on themselves. The final lines of the song tie everything together: "He wrote the music, he wrote the words. That's Elmo's song. I love the music, I love the words. That's big bird's song. He wrote the music, we wrote the words. That's Snuffy's, that's Big Bird's, that's Elmo's song." This sequence reveals just how much all of the Sesame Street characters support one another and work together, even when it comes to music.
