- Hi, I'm Elvis Costello,

and what can you say about "Sesame Street"

and the part it's played in all of our lives?

It's the place where I can remember seeing

a clip of Stevie Wonder singing "Superstition."

♪ You don't wanna save me ♪

♪ I'll have to sing such a mystic song ♪

- So you can imagine when I was asked to come

and sing with Elmo when my boys were just four years old,

it was like a dream come true.

♪ Oh, I wanna count to 10 now ♪

♪ But it's something I can't do ♪

♪ 'Cause I don't have all the numbers ♪

♪ No, a monster went and ate my red two ♪

Happy 50th birthday to "Sesame Street."
