Awesome Music / The Electric Company (1971)

• The theme song, which changed every other season, became especially epic with the addition of the "Movin' out in a new way!" introduction and backup vocals for Seasons 5 and 6.^note The video is the season 6 intro, which corrects the effect of Luis Avalos changing from Dr. Dolots to his normal self from a sudden change to the slow fade used for the other performers.
• The animated jazzy take on "Hey Diddle Diddle" performed by a band of cats (including one on the fiddle).
• Tom Lehrer composed several language-themed songs for the original series, and they're all right up there with his best work.
  • "Silent E" is a buoyant, upbeat tribute to the wonders that tacking an "E" to the end of a word can provide.
    Who can turn a can into a cane?
    Who can turn a pan into a pane?
    It's not too hard to see it's silent "E"
  • "L-Y" is paired with a memorable animation sequence to show the marvels of creating adverbs simply by adding "-ly" to the end of words.
    You're a secret agent man
    Who's after the secret plan
    How do you act so they don't know you're a spy?
    Ah-normally (whistles) normally (whistles again)
    Normal... L-Y!
  • "N Apostrophe T" provides an amusing duet between a cheerful optimist (Jim Boyd) and a grouchy shut-in (Lee Chamberlin) who loves turning words into negatives by adding "n't" to the end of them.
    Jim: Isn't it a lovely day?
    Lee: No! It isn't!
    Jim: Could you come outside and play?
    Lee: No! I couldn't!
    Jim: Did you ever take a hike?
    Lee: No! I didn't!
    Jim: How'd you like to ride my bike?
    Lee: Frankly... I wouldn't!
    Jim: "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", is that all you can say?
    Lee: "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", yes, now go away!
    The greatest sound to me, it stands for "not", I like it a lot, it's spelled N-apostrophe-T!
• The sing-alongs with Big Applesauce images from The '70s that were frequently featured on Friday episodes.
• Rita Moreno sang "Come Listen In On Me" in a Mel Mounds segment. The soulful pop music would not have sounded out of place on the charts in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
• The "Or" Song, from Season 3, performed by Short Circus members June Angela and Bayn Johnson, which has a very distinct Russian feel to it, possibly being inspired by Fiddler on the Roof.
