The theme song for "Sesamstraße" is "Der, die, das", whose melody and lyrics have little resemblance to the English version on "Sesame Street". "Der, die" and "das" are nominative German articles (so the song's title is literally "The, the, the"). In October 2012 this song was performed by the German Eurovision Song Contest winner Lena Meyer-Landrut who is accompanied by Elmo on the trumpet.
