Ernie & Bert Songs is a 5-minute show that aired from December 5 to December 12, 2011 on KIKA at 5:35 PM, with new segments produced in 2013. The segments were also included in the regular Sesamstrasse episodes starting in January 2012. Each episode features a German or international singer/musician with Ernie and Bert, singing/playing one of their hits in a special Sesamstrasse version. The format had received a preview in conjunction with the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 that was held in Germany. That sketch featured ESC winner Lena Meyer-Landrut with the song "Bert, oh Bert".
