This television special aired on PBS to join the fun. It's also slightly different to the one released on home video as "Sesame Street: 25 Wonderful Years". In it, it shows a blue sky background just like in Season 23 to 29 with Big Bird's voice-over saying the title before the theme song. Also, some of the songs are performed by various celebrities such as Little Richard. "Adventure" sung by En Vogue, "C Is For Cookie" sung by Marilyn Horne, "Rubber Duckie" sung by Little Richard, "The Letter O" sung by Queen Latifah, "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" sung by Aaron Neville, "My Name" sung by Maya Angelou, "New Way to Walk" sung by The Oinker Sisters, "Monster in the Mirror" sung by Grover and some others, and "Sing" sung by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The credits are also slightly different but longer.

SCENE 2

They split up their duties - Telly and Prairie will look for dancers and musicians, while Big Bird looks for "la-la"-ers.

Telly and Prairie come across Jamal, Angela, Celina, Carlo, the kids and other Muppets singing an a capella version of "Do-Op Hop." They've found their singers for the show!

Big Bird has formed a "LA LA LINE" to audition la-la-ers. After a failed audition by Humphrey and Natasha, the Count steps up, not wanting to la-la, but to count those in line. Big Bird thinks his day will drive him batty, cuing the next song...

Big Bird's line is now empty. Mumford tries his trick again, but no one's around to be entranced by it.

Big Bird slinks over to a bench and begins singing "Sing" to himself. Ladysmith Black Mambazo immediately answers with a chorus of la-las, exactly what Big Bird's been searching for. Mumford tries his trick again, summoning all of Big Bird's friends to sing with him.
