While performing this song,
Elmo from
Sesame Street uses
rap and
dance to
promote awareness of the number five. I have not seen this song
replayed on
current Sesame Street episodes, but it is at least still available on the
CTW videos
1-2-3 Count with Me and
The Best of Elmo. Thanks to the fact that
Elmo performs this
song (with two
backup singers!) while wearing
sunglasses and
reflective green parachute pants, you are almost
guaranteed to
wet yourself while watching this
skit.
Yo! MC Elmo's got something to say
'Bout the Sesame number for today
It's the number we're pitching
And that's no jive:
It's cool
It's hip
It's fresh
It's FIVE!
Chorus:
Five...Yo, five!
No jive...no jive!
Yo, FIVE!
Give me five now!
Five on a clock
Five fingers on a hand
We got five on a block
And a five in the sand
Elmo time, hey!
(Chorus)
