Happy Birthday (Sesamstrasse)

Happy Birthday is a Sesamstrasse video released in 1998 celebrating the 25th anniversary with some of the most memorable segments from the show.
==Segments==
*Ernie brings an umbrella, a flashlight, and a bowling ball to the bathtub, just in case the electricity goes out, the roof leaks, and somebody shows up asking to borrow a bowling ball. Bert thinks that Ernie is being ridiculous -- but everything happens, just as Ernie predicted.
*Grover the Salesman: Grover wants to sell Kermit the Frog some earmuffs, but Kermit doesn't have ears, so Grover gives Kermit some big human ears.
*Bip Bippadotta and two Anything Muppet girls sing "Mah Na Mah Na".
*"The Elephant Elevator Operator"
*At the movies, Ernie reacts to a sad, funny, scary movie, to Bert's embarrassment and the annoyance of the other viewers. 
*
*Waiter Grover: Mr. Johnson gets a new waiter named Piño, a Spanish-accented monster. Then, Grover comes by and argues with Piño over which one of them is serving Mr. Johnson.
*Ernie sings "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked a Cake" when a hungry Cookie Monster demands a cookie.
*Kermit sings "Caribbean Amphibian"
*Ernie is confused when he sees Bert playing checkers with his pigeon, Bernice. Ernie thinks it's amazing that a pigeon can play checkers, but Bert thinks it is no big deal, because Bernice has only beaten Bert in two out of ten games.
*Super Grover and Telly talk about differences between above (such as a bird flying) and below (as in when Grover crash lands on Telly).
*Count von Count sings "Lambaba" as he counts sheep and other animals that pop into the room.
*Ernie and Bert decide to use both Bert's canvas and Ernie's paints to paint a picture of something. Bert wants to paint a bowl of oatmeal, but Ernie wants to paint a purple monster. Finally, they decide to paint a purple monster eating a bowl of oatmeal.
*
*On a tropical island, Bert, Cookie Monster, Grover and a Caribbean Anything Muppet back-up band sing "Take a Rest."
*Four monsters sing "We Are All Monsters."
*Telly conservatively sips from his glass of water, then chides Oscar the Grouch for wasting water with his new skunk fountain. He argues with Oscar over keeping it on and finally convinces him to shut it off by pointing out that if there's no water, there won't be any mud. Oscar is shocked at the potential for a mud shortage and turns his fountain off, as well as emptying his pool (unnecessarily, however). Telly almost takes a sip from his glass, earning scorn from Oscar for wasting water by drinking it.
*Big Bird and Snuffy are watching Baby Natasha and try to get her to laugh. Nothing seems to work, so they just sit and do nothing... which somehow causes her to break into hysterics.
*"(I Can't Get No) Co-Operation"
*Ernie sings "D-U-C-K-I-E"
*The Count sleeps over at Ernie and Bert's. The Count sleeps in Bert's bed while Bert sleeps on the couch. Ernie tells The Count that he can count sheep to get to sleep, but it never dawned on Ernie that the Count never gets tired of counting. He stays up all night counting sheep, to Ernie's detriment.
*Phil Harmonic hosts another evening at the Nestropolitan Opera, featuring a performance by Placido Flamingo, "The Dentist of Seville."
*Bert says it's Ernie's turn to go to the laundromat. He puts numerous things in the laundry basket, including storybooks, cookies, his boots, and a radio. Before long, the basket has no room for the laundry, so he decides to go play baseball instead.
