Put Down the Duckie (song)

rdfs:comment

"Put Down the Duckie", performed by Hoots the Owl and Ernie, encourages one not to let possessions get in the way of other activities. Ernie wants to play the saxophone, but due to the presence of Rubber Duckie in his hand, he can only produce a squeak. Bob sang a portion of the song in a 1993 episode. In a segment from the 1990s, Ellen DeGeneres listened to this song on a Walkman, explaining to Elmo how portable music players work. (EKA: Episode 3448) This segment occasionally led into the "Put Down the Duckie" sketch (starting with the music playing, cutting out the intro).

"Put Down the Duckie", performed by Hoots the Owl and Ernie, encourages one not to let possessions get in the way of other activities. Ernie wants to play the saxophone, but due to the presence of Rubber Duckie in his hand, he can only produce a squeak. Bob sang a portion of the song in a 1993 episode. In a segment from the 1990s, Ellen DeGeneres listened to this song on a Walkman, explaining to Elmo how portable music players work. (EKA: Episode 3448) This segment occasionally led into the "Put Down the Duckie" sketch (starting with the music playing, cutting out the intro). In German, the song is known as "Weg mit dem Entchen!" In a Play With Me Sesame insert, Ernie uses the song during a game of "Ernie Says" about being happy and sad. Christopher Cerf and Bob McGrath sang the song at the Brooklyn Public Library on November 21, 2009.
