The soundtrack from " The Sesame Street Book & Record " album was used for this version , so Jim Henson ' s voice is heard instead of Herry ' s regular performer , Jerry Nelson . In the sketch , Herry finds Cookie looking for the cookie he dropped , but notices he ' s looking upward . They sing about the difference , but after the song , Cookie explains a bird took his cookie when he dropped it . He spies the bird and chases it . The bird , however , drops the cookie in Herry ' s hand , who eats it . In 1996 , a remake of this song was taped with Herry and Cookie Monster in a playground . This version of the song marked the debut of a revised version of Herry , with a thinner eyebrow . Some lyrics were altered slightly to reflect the fact that they were singing outdoors ( looking at the sun / grass instead of ceiling / floor , respectively ) and that Herry doesn ' t wear shoes . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
