I was raised on Sesame Street reruns from the 1980s, and I don't remember Elmo having a very dominant presence but he did stand out to me as being a main character, and one of the characters I could point out best (others being Big Bird, Oscar, Bert and Ernie, Grover, The Count). But I don't remember Elmo being…

"Hey, there's no tradition like a NEW tradition!"

"wait, you spell it SANTA claus, but you SAY it 'SANTY' claus."

If you ever get bored or tired of this song, just listen to the bassist. They have a really hip part that's fun to listen to.

I love Carly's featured role in Gene Belcher's "Work Hard, or Die Tryin', Girl."

SIMPSONS DID IT SIMPSONS DID IT
