Sesame Street first aired in 1969 as an educational children's television series, and its theme song, asking how to get to Sesame Street, became one of the most recognisable television openings in the world. Written for the show's sunny, neighbourhood setting, the song has been performed in countless versions and parodies over the decades, and it remains closely tied to childhood memories for generations of viewers. Its short, upbeat clip is now widely shared online as a nostalgic sound for lighthearted edits and introductions.
