Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break
Sesame Street is 40 years old today, an anniversary you're probably aware of if you've been over to the Google lately. So in honor of this fine program that taught us, among other things, to count, we're doing counting songs for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. Specifically, songs that have counting in them (as opposed to just "count-offs" at the beginning). One, two, three ... go! Suggest 'em below, or here.
