, and world music. Especially in the earlier decades, parodies and spoofs of popular songs were common, although that has reduced in more recent years. Many famous musicians have sung on the show. Musicians were chosen for their skill and popularity, but also for having a public perception that was compatible with the show's values. For example, musicians who were associated with illegal drugs were not invited to perform. The lyrics of Sesame Street songs had to be wholesome. They could not suggest sexual activity or dangerous actions, such as leaning out of a window.
