Oscar's Bill of Gripes

 OSCAR ' s   Bill   of   Gripes " is a  SESAME STREET  song performed by  OSCAR THE GROUCH .

 OSCAR  holds a rally outside Central Park (by the USS Maine National Monument ) to bring awareness of the  GROUCHES ' Bill of Rights, but more commonly referred to as the "Bill of Gripes".

His audience, consisting of people &  GROUCHES  (along with Gordon & Willy), eventually abandon the cause & leave.

According to  OSCAR  ' s pre-song speech, the Bill of Gripes was written in 1776 by Thomas Grufferson and signed by George  GROUCH  inton.
