"Anyone's Nose"
Anything Goes is a Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, and a collaboration on the book by multiple authors, including P.G. Wodehouse. The story is a love triangle aboard an ocean liner bound from New York City to London, where nightclub singers, mobsters, heiresses, and Royalty intermingle in a game of mistaken identities and cat and mouse.
The musical was spoofed with "Anyone's Nose", a segment of "Monsterpiece Theater" on Sesame Street, where a female monster sang parody lyrics to Porter's signature song from the musical Anything Goes, while Herry Monster, Elmo, and Telly danced with Grouch Glasses.
Telly Monster also sang a parody of the titular song, "Everything Goes", as he packs for a day in the park.
