- Hi Big Bird.
- Hi Elmo!
- Boy, Elmo loves singing!
And wants to find out more about it!
Hey!
Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie!
♪ Let's call her together ♪
- [Elmo And Kids] Oh Smartie!
- Hi Elmo!
Listen to my song!
♪ This is the song, la la la la ♪
♪ Smartie's song ♪
- Hey!
Catchy tune!
(both laugh)
That's perfect Smartie!
Because today, Elmo wants
to learn all about songs!
- Well!
What do we do to learn something new?
♪ We look it up ♪
- Searching for songs.
Here we go!
- I-N-G.
- [Smartie] Oh Elmo, there's
so many kinds of songs
and ways you can sing them.
You can sing in groups or by yourself.
There are songs you sing on
special days to celebrate,
or songs you can sing every day.
There's songs to get you moving
and songs to help you
calm down or go to sleep.
And the best part is, anyone can sing!
- Wow!
Elmo thinks that singing
looks like a lot of fun!
- You betcha!
In fact, I was just on my
way to Ringtone Karaoke.
- (laughs) Okay!
Thank you Smartie, see you
later have fun! (laughs)
Boy, there's so many
different kinds of songs!
Hey!
That gives Elmo an idea!
Let's play a game together.
Yeah!
Come on, come on!
(chalk scratching)
Come on!
Help Elmo play the right
tempo along with the band!
Are you ready?
Let's play!
Tempo is how fast or slow a song is.
Help Elmo decide if he needs
to tap the drum fast or slow.
Ready?
Here we go!
- [Kids] Fast!
Play fast!
- [Elmo] Wow, you're right!
This is a fast tempo!
- [Kids] Slow.
Now slow!
- [Elmo] That's right,
now the tempo is slow!
- [Kids] Fast!
Faster!
- [Elmo] Oh, oh Elmo thinks
this is the fastest he can drum!
- [Kids] Faster, you can do it Elmo!
- [Elmo] And now the big finish!
Tada!
- [Kids] Great job, way to go!
- Wow!
That song had a fast
tempo and a slow tempo.
(laughs) Cool!
Thanks for playing kitty cats.
Boy that was fun.
Hey!
That makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle like to sing?
Let's ask him.
Hey Mr. Noodle!
Oh!
It's Mr. Noodle's pet poodle, Schmoodle.
- [Elmo And Kids] Hi Schmoodle.
(Schmoodle barks)
- Does Schmoodle like to sing?
(clanking music)
Why not Schmoodle?
Anybody can sing.
(sad trumpet music)
Aw, is Schmoodle shy about singing?
(funky trumpet music)
Oh it's okay, Schmoodle.
Elmo's sure you have a
lovely singing voice.
Hey, maybe some music will help.
(trumpet music)
(Schmoodle barks)
- [Kids] That's it!
- [Elmo] Oh yeah!
- [Kids] Great singing, Schmoodle!
- Bye Schmoodle!
