I Draw a Line

"I Draw a Line" is a Sesame Street parody song written by Tony Geiss for Season 23 that did not end up getting produced. The piece would parody Johnny Cash and his hit song, "I Walk the Line."
In the segment, country star Ronnie Hash (spoofing Cash) performs for a crowd with his backing band, the Tenafly Two and a Half; two adult Anything Muppets and a baby on harmonica (a play on Cash's band, The Tennessee Three). Hash shows off his big blue crayon and sings a song he learned "at a day care center near San Quentin." He sings about how he likes to draw different shapes (a triangle, circle, square, and rectangle), which are drawn onscreen via a telestrator.
While the piece was not recorded, that same season, a different Muppet spoof of Cash was introduced, Ronnie Trash. His song, "Don't Throw It on the Ground," partially parodies "I Walk the Line" as well.
