30	!! ''Trope Down the Duckie''
31	* AlliterativeTitle: "'''M'''onster in the '''M'''irror".
32	* {{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 "Ab-key-deaf-ge-jekyl-minop-que-er-stoov-wert-siz"[[/note]].
33	* BathsAreFun: "Rubber Duckie", which features Ernie in his bath with his duckie.
34	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
35	** "ABC-DEF-GHI": Big Bird sings the words of the alphabet as one long word without realizing the meaning of it.
36	** "The Monster in the Mirror" by Grover, where he doesn't seem to grasp that the monster is just his reflection.
37	--> "''...Do nothing that you would not like to see him do, 'cause that monster in the mirror? He just might be'' you!"
38	* CompanionCube: Ernie's rubber duckie gets its own ode.
39	* CoolShades: Elmo and Big Bird on the cover.
40	* CradleOfLoneliness: "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?", sung by Grover.
41	* CrowdSong: "We Are All Earthlings", about all various kinds of creatures living on Earth, is sung by different animals.
42	* 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.
43	* EducationalSong: Speaks for itself, since this album is by ''Series/SesameStreet''.
44	** "Bein' Green", "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange)" and "We Are All Earthlings" are both about accepting yourself and that everybody is different, but we are all people on the same Earth.
45	** "'C' Is for Cookie" is about the fact that the letter "c" is used for the word cookie.
46	** "One Fine Face", sung by Ernie and Elmo, about the different parts of the face.
47	** "Put Down The Duckie" is about focusing on what you want to do and not being distracted by other things.
48	* EverythingIsAnInstrument: "Rubber Duckie" features Ernie making sounds with his rubber duck in the bathtub.
49	* FaceOnTheCover: Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster are featured on the cover.
50	* GreatestHitsAlbum: All songs appeared on earlier Sesame Street albums.
51	* HomeSweetHome: "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon", sung by Ernie, where he sings that despite wanting to go to different places, even the moon, he doesn't want to stay there forever.
52	* {{Jazz}}: "Put Down the Duckie" is a catchy saxophone song.
53	* ListSong:
54	** "The People in Your Neigborhood" lists all the people you meet in your neighborhood, including the postman.
55	** "Lambaba" lists all the things that the Count sees passing by his bed, most of them sheep.
56	* LocationSong: "(Can you tell me how to get to) Sesame Street?" - The theme song of ''Series/SesameStreet'', which essentially has children asking people how they can find this street.
57	* 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.
58	** "Little Things" by Prairie Dawn is about her appreciation of little things.
59	--> ''I believe in little things\
60	That you can hardly see\
61	Like honeycomb and spider webs\
62	And starfish in the sea...''
63	* ObsessionSong:
64	** 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."
65	** Oscar's "I Love Trash" , which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
66	** "Lambaba", naturally because it is sung by the Count who suffers from counting everything he sees.
67	* OneManSong: "Elmo's Song".
68	* OneWordTitle: "Sing".
69	* PepTalkSong:
70	** Bert sings that he sings and dances "Doin' The Pigeon" whenever he feels sad.
71	** "Sing"
72	--> '' Sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong''
73	--> '' Sing of good things, not bad''
74	--> '' Sing of happy, not sad''
75	--> '' Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last your whole life long''
76	--> '' Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear''
77	--> '' Sing, sing a song''
78	* PunBasedTitle: "Lambaba", which is named after a popular song, but is also about lambs.
79	* QuestioningTitle: "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?"
80	* {{Scatting}}: "The Monster in the Mirror"
81	--> ''Wubba wubba wubba is a monster song!''
82	* ShoutOut: "Lambaba" is, of course, a reference to the Lambada, which was popular in 1989. Yet it is a completely different song, providing other references to Mary with a Little Lamb and Little Bo Beep, from the English nursery rhymes.
83	* SingerNameDrop: "Elmo's Song" and "Happy Tappin' With Elmo", effectively sung by Elmo.
84	* TheSomethingSong: "Elmo's Song"
85	* SpellingSong: "'C' Is For Cookie", though Cookie Monster doesn't care about using the letter "c" for other things.
86	* TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon" expresses Ernie's sentiment that he likes home better than any other place in the world.
87	* ThisIsASong: Elmo introduces "Elmo's Song" this way:
88	--> ''This is the song, la la la la, Elmo's song.''
89	* TitleTrack: "Sesame Street Theme"
90	--> ''Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?''
