COLD OPEN | Baby Bear, Big Bird, and Gina introduce today's sponsors. They each intend to sing a song, and disagree over who will get to. Gina thinks they should take a brief song break... |
 |
SCENE 1 | The three continue their argument when Grundgetta suggests they each sing a different song at once (thinking it'll be a noisy disaster). Unfortunately for her, Gina assigns them all songs that follow the same melody ("The Alphabet Song," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," and "Baa Baa Black Sheep"), so they end up creating a great harmony. |

Fine people! And those people who like the 'Z,' they're fine people, too. Nothin' wrong with that. But there's a whole lotta other fine letters in-between here, and we wouldn't wanna leave them out, now would we?" He rallies everyone into saying the whole alphabet together before heading off, and Gordon announces the sponsors (with further commentary from Ross). |
