"Singing in the Shower" is a Sesame Street song where Olivia, Ernie, Big Bird, and Oscar sing about how they like to sing in their various modes of cleaning (shower, bathtub, birdbath, and mudbath, respectively.) The song was later remade for Season 30. This version featured Ruthie in place of Olivia, and Ernie as performed by Steve Whitmire instead of Jim Henson (who performed Ernie in the original version). Despite these changes, Caroll Spinney's vocals for Oscar from the original version remain unchanged, while a portion of Big Bird's vocals are re-recorded.

- A character is shown while singing while bathing or said to do this -- depending on amount of Censor Steam and Censor Suds the author uses. That being a small room with hard walls, its acoustics should be bad enough to resign all worries about voice and quality. Add to it that during the bath time one is alone (usually) and feels secure (usually), and it makes more or less a light-hearted version of What You Are in the Dark. Though usually someone overhears the singing character anyway. As a narrative device, this usually is an opportunity to show that the character is in good mood and to demonstrate amusing quirks (beyond this habit as such).

An excerpt of the song is sung by Elmo, imagined as a mouse and elephant by Dorothy, in the Elmo's World segment "Bath Time." Baby Bear and Elmo sang a couple of verses of the song in a 2010 episode.
