"Monster in the Mirror" is a Sesame Street song sung by Grover. In this song, Grover wakes up one morning and sees a monster in his mirror (his reflection). Instead of being scared, he sings, "Wubba wubba wubba wubba, woo woo woo." The clip features a number of camera tricks, such as a sequence in which a full-body Grover walks in front of a mirror showing his animated reflection. At the end of the song, Grover has his arm around his reflection. A shortened version of this song was sung in episode 4067, although Elmo referred to it as "The Wubba Wubba Wubba Song."

The album verison of the song includes an additional verse of Grover and the monsters scatting. These vocals can be heard in the celebrity version when the celebrities start singing. This segment was produced by Jim Blashfield and directed by Laura Di Trapani, who also directed "The Word is 'No'." The music was arranged by Paul Jacobs. The celebrity version was included in the specials Big Bird's Birthday or Let Me Eat Cake and Sesame Street Jam: A Musical Celebration. A clip from the celebrity version was included in Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever.

The instrumental version of this song was used to accompany the Super Grover balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2017, an animated lyric video of the song, produced by David Cowles, was made and shared on the Sesame Street YouTube channel. The video stars Grover and features appearances by Elmo, Louie, Herry Monster, Cookie Monster, Telly Monster, Rosita, Humphrey, Ingrid, Natasha, Count von Count, and the Two-Headed Monster. (YouTube)
