Lin-Manuel Miranda raps with Big Bird trying to get him to migrate from #SesameStreet 🗽 to the beach 🏖️🌊🌅 pic.twitter.com/9FICupxGri— 🎼AdagioForStrings🎻 (@adagioforstring) May 26, 2018
Big Bird: What are you doing here, Mr Flipman?
Miranda: It's Flatman, and I'm here to help you find a new home.
Bird: I don't need a new home.
Miranda: You did just say you were cold, didn't you?
Bird: Well, yeah, so?
Miranda: Well, maybe it's time for you to migrate
Bird: What's that?
Miranda: You're a bird and you don't know about migration?
Bird: No, I've never heard of it.
Sesame Street Dude: Well, Big Bird, migration is moving from one place to another place because you ran out of food or the weather changed
Miranda: Now a lot of birds do it all the time
Bird: Well, not me! No, no. I like living right
Miranda: But you might like living in a new habitat even better!
Bird: Habitat? What's that?
Miranda: A habitat's a home where birds can find food, water, and a nice place to sleep. And I have some great bird habitats that I think you'll love.
Bird: I guess it would be fun to see how other birds live
Miranda: Now you're talking. But what kind of habitat would be perfect for you? Oooh, I got one! Let me show you!
Dude: Ok, I guess we're going to see some pictures of a bird habitat
Miranda: I can do better than pictures! Let me take you on a virtual tour
Dude: Oooh, virtual tour?
Miranda: Oh, yeah! Show me the habitat! [claps hands]
Dude: Whoa!
Bird: Wow!
Dude: How did he do that?
Miranda: Just a little real estate agent magic. [begins singing]
♫♬🎵🎶♪♩
Open up your eyes
Gonna show you where it's at
As we take a look around
at a new habitat
Don't need a hard sell
Or make a stump speech
Because this place is really awesome
Yes, this habitat's the beach!
Bird: Are you sure you can live on the beach?
Miranda: Sure, lots of birds do it
Bird: They do?
Miranda: Of course, if you live at the beach you have ocean views, salty sea air and fresh sea food any time you want
Bird: Wow
Miranda: Wow is right [continues singing]
♫♬🎵🎶♪♩
The beach is so exciting
And it's hardly ever dull
You can live next to a pelican
You can live next to a gull
There's lots of elbow room
For your wings to expand
And room to stick your
Big Bird feet in the sand
Where's it at?
Chorus: The beach! The beach!
It's a habitat
Chorus: The beach! The beach!
Where's it at?
Chorus: The beach! The beach!
That's a habitat
That's a habitat
That's a habitat
[and a gif of Sesame Street dude's silly dancing]
Dude: Wow! He's good!
Miranda: Ready to move to the beach?
Bird: Uh, well, I do like the beach
Miranda: Come one, Big Bird, lets go migrate to your new habitat
Bird: Uh, no! I don't want to move to the beach. I just like to visit the beach.
Miranda: But you're a bird! And you're cold! You should migrate!
Bird: Sorry, I'm not interested. But thanks any way Mr. Floatman
Miranda: That's Flatman
Bird: Oh, right. Well, bye!
Miranda then tries to encourage Big Bird to move the rain forest 🌧️☔️ pic.twitter.com/nzh1zUQ6Lp— 🎼AdagioForStrings🎻 (@adagioforstring) May 26, 2018
Big Bird: Oh, hi, Gordon!
Gordon: Hey, Big Bird! Hey, I just brought down some extra blankets for you
Bird: Oh, thanks, that'll be great for those cold nights!
Miranda: Your nights don't have to be cold!
Gordon: Who are you?
Bird: That's Mr. Fleakman
Miranda: It's Flatman. Freddy Flatman Flaccard Real Estate. Here's my card [hands card to Gordon]
Gordon: [Gordon reading card] Birds...have real estate agents?
Miranda: Of course! And I'm here to help Big Bird find a new habitat
[notice Big Bird has a cardinals pennant on his wall]
Bird: [quietly to Gordon] Uh, that means "home", Gordon.
Gordon: Uh, I know what a habitat is, Big Bird, I', a science teacher. And Big Bird's habitat is Sesame Street. He's got everything he needs right here
Miranda: But it's time for Big Bird to move onto to greener habitats
Bird: I do like green
Miranda: Then have I got a habitat for you. Show me the habitat [claps hands]
Gordon: Whoah! What just happened?
Bird: He's working his [?] real estate magic
Miranda [ singing ] ♫♬🎵🎶♪♩
Open up your eyes
Gonna show you where it's at
As we take a look around
at a new habitat
It's got its own plants and flowers
[all its own flora?]
It's got really big trees
and it's called the rain forest
Bird: A rain forest? You can live in a rain forest?
Miranda: Absolutely. It's warm, colorful, and it's full of high rises. Check it out! Everybody loves the rain forest!
Bird: They do?
Miranda: You bet! [ continues singing ] ♫♬🎵🎶♪♩
Animals of very color
Animals of every size
Toucans, macaws, monkeys, frogs
Sloths, butterflies
Lots of animals above
Lots of animals below
Rain forest is a perfect place
For a bird to grow
Where's it at?
Chorus: Rain forest!
That's a habitat
Chorus: Rain forest!
Where's it at?
Chorus: Rain forest!
That's a habitat
That's a habitat
That's a habitat
Miranda: So what do you say, Big Bird?
Bird: I say...
Miranda: I know, I know, you're not interested
Bird: Actually, I want to live there!
Gordon: What?!
Bird: Sure! I want to live in a rain forest!
Miranda: Yes! Freddy Flatman makes the sale! Boo-yah
Gordon: But Big Bird, you don't really want to live in a rain forest
Bird: I do! The rain forest is so beautiful and so colorful and so filled with life. It's the perfect habitat for a bird.
Gordon: You can't just move!
Bird: Lots of birds migrate. That means, "we move!" I better start packing!
