Bee GeeRobin Gibb also appears on the album, and according to the LP's liner notes, "appears courtesy of his children Melissa and Spencer Gibb".
The recording was released in the LP, cassette, and eight-track audio formats; it has never been commercially released on compact disc (except for a 1991 Japanese re-release[1]) but is available to download on Amazon, iTunes and file sharing sites. Singles of "Sesame Street Fever"/"Trash" and "Doin' the Pigeon"/"Rubber Duckie" were released as promotional items.
A follow-up album, Sesame Disco! was released in 1979.
"Doin' The Pigeon" - Bert & The Girls (preceded by a short hidden track that features Bert and Ernie debating the dance craze)
"Rubber Duckie" - Ernie & His Rubber Duckie
"Trash" - Robin Gibb
"C Is For Cookie" - Cookie Monster & The Girls (preceded by a conversation between Cookie Monster and Robin Gibb)
"Has Anybody Seen My Dog?" - Marty & Grover (Cookie Monster makes a brief cameo.)
Both "Doin' The Pigeon" and "Has Anybody Seen My Dog?" have overextended instrumental outros (the former's is broken up with one more singing of the chorus by the girls), possibly to help pad the album's sides.
The album ended up being a surprise commercial success both in terms of chart performance and sales. It peaked at #75 on Billboard's Pop Albums Chart,[2] and was certified Gold by the RIAA.
