"Birdie and the Beast" is a Sesame Street song performed in Episode 4615.
The brief tune closes out Big Bird's self-written fairy tale of the same name. The song is sung by the titular Birdie (played by Big Bird), the Beast, and the enchanted items of his castle. In order to fit the rhyming couplet, they initially sing the song as "Beastie and the Bird," before haphazardly correcting themselves.
The song is a parody of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's title song from the 1991 Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast.
