The following film includes children singing "Sing," "The Alphabet Song," and "Happy Birthday to You," a mother singing to a baby "Brahms' Lullaby," and a boy singing the final lyric of the "Elmo's World Theme."
On home video releases, "Happy Birthday to You" is edited out.

Ewsing-ernie
Quiz Elmo wonders what sings and what doesn't. Dogs do. Pineapples don't, but Elmo can sing with a pineapple. Clocks don't, unless it's a cuckoo clock. Bathtubs don't, but Ernie sings in the bathtub. He appears with his Rubber Duckie to sing a verse of "Rubber Duckie." The original album recording with Jim Henson's vocals is used here.

After the quiz, the pig barbershop quartet resume singing until they're pulled away once more.

Notes[]

  • The recording of Verdi's "La donna e mobile" that Mr. Noodle lip-syncs to is from a 1971 performance of Rigoletto. A co-production of the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, tenor Luciano Pavarotti sang as the Duke of Mantua (and it's his vocals Mr. Noodle lip-syncs to).
