Sing Along title card

Sing Along's featureless title card.

Sing Along is a 1987 Sesame Street direct-to-video compilation, released on VHS under the My Sesame Street Home Video label. The framing sequences of the video, as well as the sketches featured, were later incorporated as Episode 2443, sponsored by the letters H, R, and the number 12.

Big Bird, Hoots the Owl, Bob, Gordon, Maria, David and the kids go to the roof of the 123 Sesame Street building to have a sing-along. They close the sing-along with a show-stopping finale, "What's the Name of That Song?"

Meanwhile, Biff and Sully are up on the roof trying to fix a TV set, but every time it gets fixed, something goes wrong, causing the set to be broken again.
