Sesame Street has some great songs from Joe Raposo, including the theme song. Here's a list of a few of them. Personally, I really loved "Put Down the Duckie (If you Want to Play the Saxophone)." And lots of others. "Oh, How I Miss My X:" the one with the shark signing about brushing his teeth, a couple by Smokey Robinson, James Taylor, Paul Simon, so many good performances on there.

My Dad, the folksong purist, thought it might be torture many years ago when I told him I had a tape I wanted him to listen to. It was composed of songs I'd recorded over months of watching Sesame Street with my kids and hopping up to record just certain songs. He was charmed and entertianed by what we played for him. Sesame Street isn't just for kids.
