1	* 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNiHpuyefbs 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.[[/note]]
2	* The animated jazzy take on "Hey Diddle Diddle" performed by a band of cats (including [[SelfDemonstratingSong one on the fiddle]]).
3	* Music/TomLehrer composed several language-themed songs for the original series, and they're all right up there with his best work.
4	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91BQqdNOUxs "Silent E"]] is a buoyant, upbeat tribute to the wonders that tacking an "E" to the end of a word can provide.
5	--->Who can turn a ''can'' into a ''cane''?\
6	Who can turn a ''pan'' into a ''pane''?\
7	It's not too hard to see it's silent "E"
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB2Ff8H7oVo "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.
9	--->You're a secret agent man\
10	Who's after the secret plan\
11	How do you act so they don't know you're a spy?\
12	[[ActingUnnatural Ah-normally]] ''([[NotSoInnocentWhistle whistles]])'' normally ''(whistles again)''\
13	Normal... L-Y!
14	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sScHUorw-Hc "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.
15	--->'''Jim:''' Isn't it a lovely day?\
16	'''Lee:''' No! It isn't!\
17	'''Jim:''' Could you come outside and play?\
18	'''Lee:''' No! I couldn't!\
19	'''Jim:''' Did you ever take a hike?\
20	'''Lee:''' No! I didn't!\
21	'''Jim:''' How'd you like to ride my bike?\
22	'''Lee:''' Frankly... I wouldn't!\
23	'''Jim:''' "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", is that all you can say?\
24	'''Lee:''' "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", yes, now ''go away!''\
25	The greatest sound to me, it stands for "not", I like it a lot, it's spelled N-apostrophe-T!
26	* The sing-alongs with BigApplesauce images from TheSeventies that were frequently featured on Friday episodes.
27	* Rita Moreno sang "Come Listen In On Me" in a [[LargeHamRadio Mel Mounds]] segment. The soulful pop music would not have sounded out of place on the charts in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
