 	COLD OPEN 	"What's the Word on the Street?" -- predicament
 	SCENE 	Big Bird and Elmo are excited, because they've got a special song for two friends, which they are. They count each other, and sing "One and One Make Two."
 	SCENEcont'd 	They almost sing it again, when Abby Cadabby appears in a poof, and asks to join them. Suddenly, Big Bird realizes the song won't work this time, because it's a song for two, and if Abby joins them, they won't be two anymore, but three. What to do? Abby suggests making herself disappear, but that turns out to be not such a good idea.
 	SCENEcont'd 	The three friends decide they should ask Gabi what they should do. They explain their predicament, and Gabi suggests they sing a song for three instead of two. What a great idea!
 	SCENEcont'd 	Gabi leaves for class. Now the three friends have another problem: they don't know any songs about the number 3! They try to think of one, and suddenly Abby decides to call on The Three Little Pigs for help! They are of little benefit to the group, as they only know songs about pigs. Suddenly, the Pigs have to run, as the Big Bad Wolf follows them to yoga class.
 	SCENEcont'd 	The three friends are still stuck without a song. Just then, Big Bird remembers what his Granny Bird said: "You're a bird, and birds always have a song in their heart."

==Notes==
*Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street gives some insight into the production of this episode. Caroll Spinney and Kevin Clash had originally prerecorded the song "One and One Make Two" a few days prior to filming, but Clash decided on-set to have Elmo sing live instead. Spinney, who couldn't easily sing live while performing Big Bird, stuck with his prerecorded vocal.Gikow, Louise Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, pages 88, 129
*Snuffy was initially scripted to be Big Bird's singing partner in the episode.Tony Geiss Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University
* The episode was titled "All for a Song" when released on YouTube.
