The characters were at the NPR offices in Washington, D.C. as part of a national promo tour celebrating 50 years of Sesame Street educating children and families through music, television and beyond in 2019. The entire NPR staff gathered around Bob Boilen‘s desk in hopes of getting a good spot to see and hear their favorite characters perform six tunes with the help of some special guests. The taped performance also featured help from human musicians John Deley (keys), Rob Jost (bass), and Michael Croiter (drums).

Songs included in the man-powered puppets’ (often referred to as “Muppets”) Tiny Desk performance included “People In Your Neighborhood”, “What I Am”, “Sing After Me”, “Medley”, “Sing”, and of course, the show’s familiar theme song, “Sunny Days”.
