Why naming it "Monster Version"? It seems like a long version because I saw 2 shorter versions of this songs with both the Simpsons and the other with Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, and other cast.
Given that Grover's audience is human children, I'm not sure if its wise to advise them not to be afraid should they see a monster in the mirror... given that this is likely to indicate that either a monster is behind them. or that they themselves have been transmuted into a monstrous form.
Both, I believe, are considerable cause for freaking out, although it might not be advisable in the former scenario, given that monsters react poorly to sudden movement and may devour the child reflexively.
Oh, oh wow. I'd almost forgotten this song. I love it sooo much. My grandma used to have an audio cassette of all the different Sesame Street songs and she would play then for my sisters and me when we were really small. lol
Rather have this version over the celeb version. If its not made for them, don't ruin the Muppeteers and the musicians that made it classic in the first place.
Of course it's creepy - strange things in mirrors!!! And his reflections turn and giggle! and they're creepy!!! But the message of this song is very applicable. The monster in the mirror - he might be you. So don't judge!
I'd like to know why a lot of folks say that this song is a sexual reference ("when you wubba me I'll wubba you.") This song is obviously a reference to a mirror reflection doing what you do, and not a reference to an adult saying "if I 'touch' you, you 'touch' me." Anyone got any ideas? I'm quite sick of people reading sexual stuff into classic Sesame Street!
If you look hard enough, you can find sexual undertones in almost anything. However, I agree with you that the creaters of this song and video probably did not mean anything sexual when they made it.
@Smartboy8877 if you're looking for sexual undertones in a children's show, that really says more about you than the developers of the show, doesn't it?
There's nothing dirty about this. Grover has always been a good monster. If you want to find dirty old cartoons, look up Foghorn Leghorn.

Grover certainly did a great job of singing The Wubba Wubba Song, along with the two unknown monsters in the picture.
