Imagination " Imagination " , also known as the " Imagination Song , " was first included on " Havin ' Fun with Ernie & Bert " , a " Sesame Street " album from 1972 . On the album version , Ernie tells the listeners to close their eyes to see what they can see with their eyes closed , and Bert , Big Bird , Herbert Birdsfoot , Prairie Dawn , Grover and Oscar the Grouch make comments before Ernie starts singing this song . In the television version , this segment starts with Ernie telling Bert that he can ' t sleep because he is scared of monsters ; not friendly monsters like the ones he knows , but scarier monsters who hide in the dark and go " wubba , wubba . " Bert tells Ernie to imagine some things that he is not afraid of ( primarily balloons of different sizes ) , and the pair sing the song . An unaired version of this song was taped , in which Ernie ' s fear of monsters lurking outside is realized , in the form of transparent monsters ( intended to signal to the audience that the monsters weren ' t real ) which proceed to overrun Sesame Street and then invade the bedroom . Ernie desperately shouts , " Go away , bad things , go away ! " Bert is roused and sings the song to comfort him . Tests with child audiences showed that children paid more attention to Ernie ' s fear than to the song itself , so the intended message was not fully comprehended . The prologue was subsequently omitted and the entire segment reworked . In 1998 , this sketch was re - recorded on " Sesame Street " almost exactly the same way it was in the original televised version , but with updated versions of the puppets , and with Steve Whitmire performing Ernie . Another version created for the video " Bedtime with Elmo " uses the footage from the 1998 version , but contains animated sequences by Misseri Studio . Elmo also sang this song on " The Best of Elmo " CD . On " Sesamgade " the song ( " Fantasi - sangen " ) was one of the regular songs that was sung by Elmo and Signe . Abelardo sings the song to a pair of birds in his treehouse - nest in a " Plaza Sésamo " scene . Sources . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _

Sully Sully is a construction worker , and a friend and colleague to Biff , who first appeared in Season 5 . Although Sully never speaks on " Sesame Street " , it is suggested that he is indeed capable of speech . In the song " Think of Your Fingers , " Biff recalls Sully giving him advice on how to remember the number 5 . Also , in " Big Bird Gets Lost " , while drilling loudly , Biff tells Big Bird what Sully says . Most notably , though , there was one time when Biff actually listened to what Sully had to say . This was during the introduction to " This Song is For the Birds " . The only thing was , Sully whispered in Biff ' s ear , so we couldn ' t hear him . Also , in " A Muppet Family Christmas " , Sully can clearly be seen singing along in the big chorus numbers . In addition to working in construction , Sully is good at playing the piano . However , Biff is sometimes oblivious to this . In the 1990s , after Richard Hunt ' s death , Sully was performed by David Rudman .

Sesamstrasse ( magazine ) Sesamstrasse ( aka " Sesamstrasse Zeitschrift " ) is a monthly magazine geared towards children between ages three and eight , which is based on " Sesamstrasse " , the German co - production of " Sesame Street " . The magazine was launched in 1973 . From the beginning , special holiday and compilation issues were published on the side throughout the year . During the early 1980s , the monthly issues could only be purchased in stores ; shortly after , mail subscriptions became available . The magazine , then published by Condor - Verlag , featured articles from the Dutch " Sesamstraat " magazine , as well as American contents ( sometimes from books like " The Sesame Street Dictionary " ) and German material . Before the local street characters were introduced to German viewers of the TV show in 1978 , the bimonthly magazine featured original American characters , and " CTW " on the logo for its first issue . On the following first dozen issues this was replaced with " , " the initials for the German networks that aired the show . Each of these issues featured an illustrated poster of one main character , highlighting even such characters as Guy Smiley , Professor Hastings , Sherlock Hemlock and Little Bird . All posters taped together would eventually form an elaborate mega poster of the " Sesame Street " characters playing out on a summer ' s day . When the local characters were introduced on TV and in the magazine ' s stories , the logo was changed again , now reading " Für Kinder " ( for children ) . Further the print paper and format were changed slightly , and the magazine was issued monthly . Along with the introduction of the German characters , Dutch characters Tommie and Pino would regularly interact with " Sesamstrasse " characters Samson , Tiffy , and Finchen . Confusingly , the two foreign characters were never introduced to the magazine ' s readers as characters from the Dutch co - production , nor was an explanation provided as to why they were never seen on TV . The magazine , sans the Dutch addition , exists to this day and can be purchased at any store that sells magazines , including grocery stores . When the Dutch characters were dropped , the logo was changed to mirror the updated American logo , simply reading " 123 " above the " Sesamstrasse " lettering . Publishing transitioned from Condor Verlag to Panini during the 1990s .
