Segments

Image	Earliest Known Appearance	Segment
	Framing material	Elmo tries to get Grizzy to sing-along, but she refuses because she considers singing to be cooperating, which grouches aren't supposed to do. Despite their differences, Grizzy eventually sings with Elmo on the reprise of "Elmo's Song", which becomes "Grizzy's Song," and then "Pesties' Song" when the Pesties join in.
	Elmo in Grouchland	"Welcome to Grouchland"
	Original material	Elmo sings "Sing" to an unamused Grizzy. The Pesties come in on the chorus, singing in "nyah nyahs" rather than the usual "la las."
