HDDJBehindtheScenes — Behind the scenes of "The Honker-Duckie-Dinger Jamboree". Note that the Honkers are built with only one arm, unlike their Dinger counterparts.

"The Honker-Duckie-Dinger Jamboree" is a Sesame Street song sung by Ernie with his Rubber Duckie. As he sings, some Honkers (including Mr. Honker) and one of the Dingers dance around, making their respective sounds. The song takes place on a farm.

Episode 4028 focused on Ernie planning another Honker-Duckie-Dinger Jamboree. In a Play with Me Sesame segment, Grover played along to a showing of the clip. In "Elmo's World: Bells", Ernie performs a rendition of the song in a video e-mail.
