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 13. 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).

Availability

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.

On June 20, 2017, .YouTube user Ferdasyn 80 uploaded a Barrio Sésamo episode that contains the sketch. Also, on June 20, 2017, YouTube user PumpkinJFriend uploaded the full sketch, even though it is only in Castilian Spanish. The English audio has yet to be found.
