"Fat Cat" is a song performed on Sesame Street by Bip Bippadotta and three blank-faced Anything Muppets in sunglasses. In the song, Bip and the Anything Muppets say a list of rhyming words (such as "fat," "cat," "sat," and "hat"), then the Anything Muppets line up and repeat each word altogether. Afterwards, Bip countinually interrupts with a sentence combining all of the words in a fast-paced scat, much to his companions' annoyance.
