"'''Mad'''" was performed by [[Little Jerry and the Monotones]] on ''[[Sesame Street]]''. Unlike most of the Monotones' feelings songs, this song was slightly different from the other two. The song, whose chorus and beat is reminiscent of The Silhouettes' ''Get a Job'', featured the band expressing their right to become angry, rather than repressing their emotions and thus requiring counseling in later life.
