# " 'C' is for Cookie" - Cookie Monster

# "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange)" - Grover, Herry Monster, Cookie Monster and Frazzle.

* AlliterativeTitle: "'''M'''onster In The '''M'''irror".

** "The Monster In The Mirror" by Grover, where he doesn't seem to grasp that the monster is just his reflection.

* DanceSensation: "Happy Tappin' With Elmo" is a song where Elmo invites the listener to join him in a peppy tap-dancing session. "Doin' the Pigeon" has Bert dancing the "pigeon" whenever he feels down.

** " 'C' Is For Cookie" is about the fact that the letter "c" is used for the word cookie.

* {{Jazz}}: "Put The Down The Duckie" is a catchy saxophone song.

** "The People In Your Neigborhood" lists all the people you meet in your neighborhood, including the postman.

** Cookie Monster's " 'C' Is For Cookie" is about his love for cookies. He even sings that he doesn't want to sing about other things that start with that letter, because " 'C' Is For Cookie and that's good enough for me."

* {{Scatting}}: "The Monster In The Mirror"

* SpellingSong: " 'C' Is For Cookie", though Cookie Monster doesn't care about using the letter "c" for other things.

And starfish in the sea..''

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Naturally, since this album is aimed at children and thus is more about everyday recognizable things. The best example is "Rubber Duckie", sung by Ernie. "Little Things" by Prairie Dawn is about her appreciation of little things.

* {{Antidisestablishmentarianism}}: The song "ABC-DEF-GHI" has Bird Bird confusing the alphabet for one really long word, "Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"[[note]]If you're curious, the phonetics of this roughly come out as "Abkeydef-gijekylminop-querstuvwertsiz"[[/note]].
