"Ah, For the Joys of the Countryside" is a song performed on Sesame Street. A nature-loving baritone (Jim Henson) sings a song about his love of nature, in a small forest lush with trees and flowers. However while he sings, he fails to notice the trees are getting cut down, construction is happening all around, and by the last verse of the song, the area has been transformed into a crowded, crime-ridden, polluted city, complete with a "Bad Food" restaurant.
