Summary:
Everywhere Elmo turns on Sesame Street monsters spontaneously burst into song, and all because they want him to feature their favorite tunes on his forthcoming radio countdown. For Telly, winnowing the hits to one is akin to Cookie Monster choosing between a macaroon and a figgie bar: at first he's sure that "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" lights his fire, but then he says bye-bye to a black sheep. The whole of Sesame Street heaves a collective sigh pavementward when word comes down that the countdown is strictly a numbers gig, no music involved, and everyone can relax, and only sing because they want to!
