Ernie & Bert Songs

For a listing of songs sung by Ernie and Bert on Sesame Street, see: Ernie and Bert Songs.

Ernie & Bert Songs is a 5-minute show that aired from December 5 to December 12, 2011 on KIKA at 5:35 PM, with new segments in production for 2013. The segments were included in the regular Sesamstrasse episodes starting in January 2012.

Each episode features a German singer with Ernie and Bert, singing one of their hits in a special Sesamstrasse version. The format had received a preview in conjunction with the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 that was held in Germany. That sketch featured ESC winner Lena Meyer-Landrut with the song "Bert, oh Bert".

After the first six segments, the format was reworked as Ernie & Bert Märchensongs to complete the first set. A new set of Ernie & Bert Songs was produced in 2013, slated for a fall release on children's TV network KIKA, both individually and for some of the segments within Die Große Sesamstrassen-Gala, a TV special hosted by Mariechen, commemorating the show's 40th anniversary. The special is set to air on October 12, 2013.
