Jim Henson (vcl). “Rubber duckie,” Ernie’s classic ode to bath time toys. Written by Jeff Moss, the song debuted on February 25, 1970 during Sesame Street’s
first season. In the skit, Ernie, performed by Jim Henson, soaks in a
bath and sings the song to his very favorite little pal. When the
Workshop began releasing musical content from the show on records in the
summer of 1970, “Rubber Duckie” was included on the very first album.
The song went on to sell more than 1 million copies as a single and
reached number 11 on the Billboard chart in 1971. It was nominated for
The Best Recording for Children Grammy in 1970, losing out to The Sesame Street Book and Record, which itself contained the song. Since then, the song has been included on 21 different albums released by the Workshop.
