Beautiful Day (song)

"Beautiful Day" is a Sesame Street song performed by Dinah Shore and a chorus of backup singers.
Ernie enlists Dinah's help to cheer up Bert after he ruined his day by running out of oatmeal. Defending himself from Ernie's amusement over the matter, Bert explains that if he doesn't have his daily oatmeal, he really misses it. Dinah says she has just the remedy: "Song for People Who Have Run Out of Oatmeal."
The subsequent song plays out in the style of disco singing the praises of a beautiful day in which seeing the sunshine make it easy to smile, and making the point that a dour mood can be changed depending on your perspective.
At the end, Ernie asks Bert if he noticed that she never actually addressed the lack of oatmeal in the song. Bert doesn't mind; the song made him feel better anyway.
The Count closes out the track, tallying up "six sensational songs" so far on the album. "Ah, ah, ah. Love it!"
