"Funny Face" is the title song of the 1927 Broadway musical, with songs by George and Ira Gershwin and starring Fred Astaire. It was used for the 1957 film of the same name starring Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, but with little relation to the source show. In an early Sesame Street film segment, Joe Raposo sang the tune (in which a crooner declares their affection for the funny face) over footage of primates in a zoo. It retains one lyrical alteration from the 1957 film (substituting "Mona Lisa" for the by-then more obscure "Gloria Swanson" as a comparison point of beauty).

  • "Funny Face" is a song from "I Love Your Funny Face". It's sung by Jay Jay, Tracy and Herky as they make funny faces during their game of "Funny Face". It is reprised at the end of the episode, when Jay Jay uses his winning but frozen funny face to forget his worries. This song serves as the seventh track on the album "Tunes From Tarrytown", where it is given the same title as the episode.
  • Funny Face is a YouTube video uploaded on July 14th, 2006. In the video, a plait-haired woman giggles and smiles at the camera. Then, her face turns green and she starts growling at the camera in the monstrous male voice. After she's done screaming, her face goes back to normal. She then says "Whoops, sorry!" while still giggling. |-|Link=
  • Funny Face is the 4th episode of Season 1 in Uncle Grandpa.
