Sing Yourself Silly!

[first lines]

Big Bird:
Know what silly is? [his bowtie starts spinning]

Big Bird:
[laughs] That's silly! [various clips play] Here come the silly songs! If you think that they are silly, let me hear you say, "Now, that was silly!" Then you can join in, and... SING... YOURSELF... SILLY!

[Smoke clears up]

Duck:
Now, that was silly!

The Amazing Mumford:
[quacks, then covers his mouth]

Forgetful Jones:
[laughs] Now, that was spinach! Uh, no... that's not it. Um... um...

Forgetful Jones:
[laughs] Now, that was Millie! I mean Sally. I mean, sassafras- uh oh. I forget. Do you know the word? [leans into the screen with his hand cupped over his ear] Silly? Why, that's it! [guffaws, then stops] Or is it?

Count von Count:
Five bananas. Six bananas. SEVEN BANANAS! [thunder strikes] Ah, ah, ah. Now, that was silly. Wouldn't you agree, my bats? Ah, ah, ah.

Big Bird:
[as the Honkers honk their noses in rapid succession] Yes, gang! That song was silly. [the Honkers nod their heads yes] But, silly songs are no laughing matter. [the Honkers shake their heads no] To write them, it takes a genius... or Don Music.

Oscar the Grouch:
Now that was yucky! I'm not gonna say silly.

Elmo:
Oh! You said it, Oscar! You said "silly!"

Oscar the Grouch:
Who asked ya, pink-face? [groans as he recedes back into his trash can]

Elmo:
[laughs, then turns toward screen] He said "silly." [peers into trash can] You said "silly," Oscar!

Big Bird:
What was that, kids?

The Kids:
Now that was silly!
