"Body Song" (legally registered as "Body Song With Animals and Kid")^[1] is a short and simple Sesame Street segment that teaches various body parts. Using footage made for multiple animal films, the body parts of different creatures are shown in close-ups, followed by a men's chorus shouting out what is being focused.

In its initial airing (as well as episodes 0270 and 0467), a portion featuring shots of ankles is used. By Episode 0420 the segment had been revised, which drops the ankles reference and instead uses an alternate version of the men's chorus that include parts about tails and teeth.
