SCENE 1 David tunes his radio to some funky music which he and the others dance to. Big Bird is surprised to learn that the kids are teaching the grown-ups some new moves: Reggie shows Maria how to do "the Basketball" while Shaun and Luis step in time, and David and Joey flail their arms and legs. Big Bird feels he's too clumsy to join but eventually gives in and starts having a ball, bobbing his head back and forth and criss-crossing his legs. The others start calling his dance "the Big Bird."

Notes[]

  • The script for this episode was originally written for Arthur Mitchell to play Brynne's dance teacher; he would've also appeared in the scenes with Big Bird and the Count. His name has been whited out in a majority of the scenes in the script before the show had been rewritten, suggesting he may not have been available for the original story. He would eventually appear on Sesame Street in Episode 3320.
