Grin & Giggle with Big Bird is one of the most unusual Sesame Street albums ever made. It opens with Big Bird informing the cast that it's "National Joke Day", and aside from the songs listed below, most of the album consists of joke telling between the cast members, as well as humorous aural skits. Oscar the Grouch takes an elevator down through his trash can to find his uncle's Grouch Joke Book, and he passes things like a subway terminal and a stockyard as he looks for it. Later on, he attempts to play "The Marine's Hymn" on the saxophone several times, only to be laughed at by other people. He also calls "Dial-a-Grouch" to hear some grouch jokes. Meanwhile, Big Bird attempts to lean against a building to hold it up (even though Gordon tells him he doesn't have to), recites Lewis Carrol
