The song was first used as an insert in Season 1, performed by composer Joe Raposo over a film of a lonely orangutan in the zoo. The original soundtrack was also used when the film was replaced in the late 1980s with snow leopards playing (EKA: Episode 2638). It was then sung by The Kids on The Sesame Street Book & Record. It has appeared on albums performed by Big Bird and the Kids. This version (minus the Kids) was performed in the mid-1970s as Big Bird roamed the street looking for his friends. (EKA: Episode 0703)
