Cover for "C is for Cookie," one of three albums featuring this song.

Status: Lost: English dub (TV version)
Found: Castilian Spanish dub


"Handful of Crumbs" was a Sesame Street song and short that first aired sometime in Season 14. It featured Cookie Monster singing how sad he is over the fact that his cookie broke into crumbs after holding it too tight, all while being backed by a country band consisting of generic Muppet monsters, including one who would eventually become Elmo (performed by Jerry Nelson).

While the song itself has been released on three different Sesame Street compilation albums, the short has not resurfaced on the internet in any way and has not aired again since the 1980s once Elmo's voice and character has been established.

UPDATE 20 June '17: Ferdasyn 80 has uploaded a Barrio Sésamo episode that contains the sketch at 13:26. Oscar just uploaded of a screenshot of the sketch on Muppet Wiki today. And good news as if wouldn't you know it, PumpkinJFriend (known as BigRedMonster86 on Wikia and Bigfatloser86 on deviantART) has finally uploaded a video of the sketch on YouTube recently today, despite it being dubbed in Castilian Spanish. Hallelujah for those Muppet fans who were always wanting to watch this sketch.
