"Count Up To Nine" is a song originally performed by the late Jerry Nelson as The Count Von Count from Sesame Street in 1977. Backup vocals were also heard, sung by Richard Hunt, Chris Cerf, and Jerry Nelson. The song was reprised by The Count (voiced by Simon A.) in the Season 1 episode "The Baby Lamb & Friends Halloween Special: Part 4" at the beginning, but the full song wasn't sung.
