Nominations for best musical performance on Sesame Street?

I've been going through Youtube videos lately, and even though I grew up watching the show, I'm kind of impressed by a lot of guest appearances that I'd never seen. I wonder if it's worth doing a poll.

So far, standouts are Feist's "One Two Three Four," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" (with frantic "Sesame Street" shouts near the end), and I actually do kind of like the Hootie and the Blowfish song about crossing the street.

Not thinking of muppet-only songs (Hey Food, Telephone Rock, etc.) great as they are. What other worthy candidates are there?

Does the Muppet Show count?

that count-up to 12 is the best thing on SS

This one is neat, in a weird way (Buffy Saint-Marie doing Cripple Creek on mouth harp):
