Anderson .Paak recently joined Elmo and Cookie Monster on Sesame Street for a collaboration on a song about holidays that we didnt know we needed.

The R&B singer appeared on a recent episode of the childrens TV series to sing a song about holidays celebrated throughout the year called What is a Holiday? A clip of his fun collaboration was posted on YouTube on Thursday.

In the clip, the Silk Sonic artist at one point sings: Holidays remind us of an event that we remember / Like Memorial Day or Juneteeth, not to mention Veterans Day ...

.Paak is of course joined by Elmo, who helps him prank Cookie Monster by telling him the world is out of cookies when singing about April Fools Day.

Thankfully, Cookie Monster received the quip in good fun.

Oh, thats a good joke, the Muppet responded.
