One of my favorite Sesame Street songs ( mind you, I have tons of them!) is “I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon,” sung by Ernie and written by Jeff Moss.

This song was originally part of the “The People in Your Neighborhood ” album from 1980. However, it was part of Sesame Street season 15 on November 28, 1983. We find Ernie expressing his total interest in visiting the moon but not wanting to live there. He also discusses other places he would love to visit, like the ocean, to see all of the fishes of the sea. However, Ernie prefers to just visit those places because he would rather stay with his friends and loved ones and return home.

There are many different versions and interpretations of the song, including a book of the same name released in 2001. Even different languages sing this song, like the one from Plaza Sesamo.
