"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a Christmas song first popularized by Bing Crosby. In the song, the news of Jesus' birth is passed from the night wind who sees the star, to a lamb who hears a song, to a shepherd boy who knows about the baby in the manger, to a king, who tells the people everywhere the good news.
Rosie O'Donnell and Elmo sang a duet of the song on the TV special A Rosie Christmas, as well as for the album of the same name. The two also performed the song on Today in 1999, and a snippet in Vanessa Williams & Friends: Christmas in New York.
Alicia Keys and Elmo sang the song during Elmo's Christmas Countdown.
