Me Gotta Be Blue

Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 2909

"Me Gotta Be Blue" is a Sesame Street song. Cookie Monster sings a rousing anthem about being blue. He's joined by his "blue family" -- his sister and his mother, who "give all she worth just to give birth to blues." A chorus of blue monsters chimes in, including Grover, Ingrid, Maurice Monster, Bruce Monster, Herry Monster and two Anything Monsters.

The song is a spoof of Sammy Davis Jr.'s "I Gotta Be Me" with a mix of Roy Orbison's "Running Scared."
