Grin & Giggle with Big Bird Grin & Giggle with Big Bird is one of the most unusual " Sesame Street " albums ever made . It opens with Big Bird informing the cast that it ' s " National Joke Day " , and aside from the songs listed below , most of the album consists of joke telling between the cast members , as well as humorous aural skits . Oscar the Grouch takes an elevator down through his trash can to find his uncle ' s Grouch Joke Book , and he passes things like a subway terminal and a stockyard as he looks for it . Later on , he attempts to play " The Marine ' s Hymn " on the saxophone several times , only to be laughed at by other people . He also calls " Dial - a - Grouch " to hear some grouch jokes . Meanwhile , Big Bird attempts to lean against a building to hold it up ( even though Gordon tells him he doesn ' t have to ) , recites Lewis Carroll ' s nonsense poem " Jabberwocky " , and both Big Bird and Little Bird sing a song consisting of old jokes . The album even includes some audience participation , as one section of jokes leaves space for the listener at home to start a knock - knock joke , and the cast responds with their portions of the joke . The track listing on the back cover , as well as on the record itself , only lists the song titles and leaves all of the dialogue portions uncredited . Unusually for " Sesame Street " albums , the songs don ' t list what character performs them , either . The album is one of the shortest of the Sesame Street LPs . Track listing . Side One Side Two
