"Everybody's Song" was first performed by Bip Bippadotta and the Androoze Sisters in 1979 for the album Every Body's Record and was made into a segment for Sesame Street in Season 16 (with much of Bip's scatting re-recorded). The song describes the various sounds one can make with their body.

The song was later remade in Season 32 by Diana Krall and Elmo, with Telly, Rosita, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Grover, Lulu, and the Oinker Sisters on backup. (First: Episode 3961)

The song was remade again in Season 35 with Gabi and Miles, backed up by Elmo, Zoe, Telly, Rosita, and Baby Bear. (First: Episode 4062)

Rocco Fiorentino later performed the song for Telly, Elmo, and the rest of the cast in a Season 40 insert. (First: Episode 4207)
