"Honk Around the Clock" is a Sesame Street song performed, in voice-over, by Christopher Cerf, as the Honkers honk their noses while dancing around a large clock. At the end, the Honkers dance off honking as the clock moves along with them, and once offscreen we hear a loud crash, indicating the clock has been destroyed by the Honkers in a freak accident. The song is loosely based on "Rock Around the Clock".
