Usher dances, sings a new alphabet song on 'Sesame Street' - watch

Usher has appeared on Sesame Street to help the famous residents learn their alphabet.

The 'Yeah' singer popped up on the PBS show along with stars such as Grover and Elmo to perform a new song about the ABCs.

Usher helped the characters learn the alphabet with a catchy tune and simple beat, with each letter receiving its own line and dance move.

Highlights include Usher urging people to "be like a crustacean and do the crabby crawl" for C, "start to shiver like you're covered in ice" for I, and "act like an octopus, it's not that hard" for O.

The musician also has a spectacular "slither" when they reach the letter S, and gets a bit dizzy after wiggling for W. Finally, when they reach the end of the alphabet, Usher advises his viewers to "zoom around because zoom is the best".

Usher seemed proud of his Sesame Street appearance, tweeting: "Stopped by @SesameStreet to teach #Elmo that the letter "Y" is for Yeahman!"

Sesame Street, which airs on PBS, last month welcomed Henry Cavill as he spoke to the stars about the word "respect".
