OMG!!! I used to be able to sing this when I was little. Of course, Sesame Street was in syndication so I saw this skit probably 20+ times!!! I loved it!
(Wait for the song after Big Bird speaks a bit with Susan) ;)

That was classic.  To me, the two best ever Old School Sesame Street moments are

"I'm A Baby (Rock Me)"

From wiki....

Little Bird (voice by Fran Brill)
(1969–1970) A little bird, presumably a canary. He was a counterpart/foil to Big Bird. Although Little Bird was often referred to as a "she" because of his female performer, Fran Brill, the character appears on the Grin and Giggle with Big Bird LP with Big Bird in a song called "Mr. Big Bird, Mr. Little Bird."
Although Little Bird appeared on Sesame Street most often during the 1970s, appearances were frequently made in books throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Little Bird also made a few cameo appearances during the 1980s and 1990s. On-screen appearances include a brief fly-by in the song "Do Wop Hop," sat at Birdland in "The Birdland Jump," and sang a line and appeared in "We Are All Earthlings".

Tonight on a very special episode of Sesame Street



Snuffy crying in a corner.


BIG BIRD:
Snuffy what's wrong?
SNUFFY: Oh, hello Bird *sniff*
BIG BIRD: Are you okay?
SNUFFY: Bob just touched my trunk. At first it tickled but then it felt bad....he said it should be our little secret.

Maria comes in

MARIA: Did you say Bob touched your trunk?  *hugs snuffy*
You know Snuffy it is not okay for an adult to touch you on your special place.
I know you've been told that you have to listen to your elders but you have to listen to you heart too and if someone tells you to do something that feels bad or can hurt you. You should run and tell the nearest adult or a police....

SNUFFY: I did tell a police man.

MARIA:
You did? Well what happened?

SNUFFY: *bursting into even bigger tears*  H-h-he t-t-t-ouched my trunk too *WAH* 




BIG BIRD: *to himself*  I wonder if that was the say officer who "ruffled my feathers"  http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g290/jenros/ROTFL.gif

ELEPHANT SOUP

1 med. elephant (African is best)
500 gal. hot water
2 pecks onions, finely chopped
1 bu. potatoes, peeled and sliced
5 shovels salt
3 shovels pepper
1 1/2 cases Worcestershire sauce
5 qts. peanut oil (optional)
10 bottles rum (or more if cooking time is longer or if you're expecting more than 8 guests)
Coke to taste

Mix 1 1/2 oz. of rum with coke; drink. Wash and dry elephant (don't use soap as this will spoil flavor). Chop into bite sized chunks. In back of 1/2 ton truck (or rented U-Haul) pour hot water. Have another rum and coke and add elephant, spuds and other ingredients. Allow to simmer. Meanwhile, finish first bottle of rum. Stir mixture using canoe paddle or small outboard motor. Allow to simmer until vegetables are tender and meat falls apart. When guests arrive, start them off with remaining rum. This recipe will serve 3800 people. If more are expected, 2 chopped rabbits may be added. Do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find a hare in their soup. (The peanut oil won't really add to the soup, but it's the way the elephant would have wanted it!)

From Yahoo!

Hunters & Sportsman what does Elephant meat taste like??

In 1979, I went on a trip with a lifelong friend who was a Photographer for National Geographic Magazine, to Nairobi, Kenya, for a month. While there my friend Kurt and I were invited to go along with a British Governmemt Wildlife Agent/Hunter that was responsible for locating a "Rogue" Male Elephant that had destroyed several villages a few weeks earlier, and killed a small boy..

On day three the Elephant was located and I got to watch from a distance while the Wildlife Officer shot and killed the Elephant with 2 shots from a 375 H&H Double Rifle from about 55 yards away....

It took 25 villagers over 20 hours to field dress and cut up the Elephant. NOTHING went to waste, organs,fat,bone,even the bone marrow were all used .The Elephant was determined to weigh just over 6100 LBS, and yielded about 1300-1400 LBS of edible meat. The meat was a Dark Redish/ Purple running thru it. For lack of a better description, it looked like blood-bruised meat, but VERY lean with little fat. The exposed side of the Elephant was butchered first than the side that was on the ground was exposed after 40+ villagers pulled the carcass over to expose the side that was on the ground with ropes. I remember the Heart weighed 22 KG which converts to 48 LBS (If my math is correct) I didn't get to sample the heart-meat

The Government Agent advised that the meat would feed a minimum of 240 villagers for a month if it was rationed properly by the tribesmen. There was a big celebration to which I and my friend were invited too. The meat was first smoked over green wood for several hours, then cooked in strips over an open fire....To everyones disasppointment it DIDN'T taste like Chicken...lol The closest thing I can compare it to is "stringy" Moose or Elk meat or even Buffalo..It tasted somewhat "gamey" but it wasn't repulsive. I also learned that the Ivory was valuable 12" Tusks would have brought $800 or so on the Black Market, but the Elephant meat was worth much more. In the City of Nairobi, Elephant meat brought $32-$40 US a pound.(Even more if smuggled out of Africa) Back in the late 70's the average daily wage was only $1 U.S.
