One nearly everyone is familiar with. It was first heard on Sesame Street in 1970. Written by Jeff Moss and sung by Jim Henson as Ernie, the song was later released as a 45 RPM record, peaking at #16 on Billboard.
A disco version was also made:
Little Richard appeared on Sesame Street in 1994, doing a rocking version of the song:

This song gave me a smile this morning. Ernie's version is still my favorite.
I love Little Richard's version -- haven't heard that before!
When I saw "Rubber Duckie," I IMMEDIATELY thought of Ernie. Then, I scrolled down. Well done!!!!!
Absolutely my favorite song at 2. Or 5. Not sure what age, but young. I heard it somewhere not too long ago, and I just flashed on my child self and how I loved this song. Some things don't leave you, no matter how old you get.
What a great find - Little Richard's version certainly takes the song to a new level.
This is fun. I remember this song including the Disco version. I prefer the original...lol
Oh yes. I thought of it as some random song
Oh this is a good one. I'm glad you picked it for letter R.
