Share is a Sesame Street song about sharing milk and cookies. It was originally performed by Ernie and Cookie Monster, and appeared on the 1980 album In Harmony: A Sesame Street Record. In the song, Cookie Monster has cookies and Ernie has milk, and Ernie suggests that they get together and share. Cookie Monster thinks that he understands what sharing means—if Ernie gives him the milk, then he'll have milk and cookies. Ernie sets him straight, and explains what sharing really means.

-It was remade again a few years later, when Ernie and Elmo sang together. {{eka|3977}} This is a rare example of Elmo referring to himself as "I" and "me" instead of replacing the song lyrics to do so in the third person.

-All three versions involve one of the characters having milk and the other having cookies, and both feature the same gag halfway through the song, in which the character with cookies (Cookie Monster in the original version, and Elmo in both of the other versions) thinks that he knows what sharing means: he has cookies, the other has milk, but if the other gives him his milk, then he'd have milk and cookie, until the other sets him straight on what sharing means.
