Elmo is trying to make a Top Ten Countdown list for the radio station, but everyone keeps trying to share their favorite song with him. Meanwhile, Telly can't decide on his favorite song -- is it "The Alphabet Song", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Baa Baa Black Sheep"?

## Notes

* While the video was released in 1999, Hooper's Store and the arbor retain their original facades and the Around the Corner sets can even be glimpsed behind Big Bird's nest, indicating that the video was filmed prior to season 30. However, the Telly puppet introduced in season 30 is used in this video.

* Scenes from this video, including Telly's songs and "This Old Bat," have appeared as stand-alone Muppet segments in international co-productions, including *Sesamstrasse*.
