"Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get..."

If you grew up on Grover and Cookie Monster, you probably finished the lyric above without much thought. Millions of American kids know the words to the Sesame Street opener as well as they know "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

For children outside English-speaking countries, their Sesame experience sounds a bit different.

The long-running children's television staple co-produces more than 20 international versions of the show viewed by 120 million kids. The shows are reworked for local audiences with different monsters and Muppets, story lines and songs, including the show opener.

We took quick YouTube trips to Sesamstraße, Vila Sésamo and eight other global streets of Sesame to collect different versions of the show opener for your dance-along pleasure.

Take a skip through the gallery for a googlie-eyed monster-filled trip around the world and be sure to visit's Sesame Street's official Sesame Around the World Tumblr for more international goodness.
