The New Restaurant

"The New Restaurant" is a song written by Malvina Reynolds, who subsequently recorded it on her 1967 album Malvina Reynolds Sings the Truth. In character as Kate, Reynolds sang it in Sesame Street Episode 0478, after having dinner with Gordon and Susan (and Oscar the Grouch).
The song describes a new restaurant which emphasized aesthetics, comfort, and appearance over actual cuisine, leading to the repeating refrain "but the food was terrible." Oscar is especially pleased by that lyric and joins in.
