Monster Hits! is a 1990 Sesame Street direct-to-video compilation, part of the Sesame Songs Home Video series. Herry Monster is the host of "The Fuzzy Awards", an awards show for the best monster songs. A winner is already written in the envelope, but the envelope can't be opened until after all of the songs have been shown (though Elmo really wants to know in advance which song is the winner).

The names of the performers and song titles appear on-screen at the beginning and ending of the songs, while "C is for Cookie" also has "Fuzzy Award Winner" written on-screen. Applause sound effects are also added at the beginning and end of every song.

The video is included as a bonus feature in Big Elmo Fun.
