X Train

" X  Train  " is a  SESAME STREET  song by  OSCAR THE GROUCH  & his  girlfriend  GRUNDGETTA  on SESAME STREET. The 2  GROUCHES  are shown at  OSCAR  ' s  TRASH CAN  together.  OSCAR   is holding a small picture of t h e letter X &  GRUNDGETTA  is holding a small picture o f a Train.

Th ey  s t art to say " X " & " train " to each other over & over, something Gordon only sees a s a n argument , & so he asks  th  em  what it is  th  ey  ' re arguing about t his time. Immediately, the  GROUCHES  insist th  ey  're not arguing , just getting ready to sing a  son g  about a train , which is called t he "  X Train  " , which is named cause it ' s a train that has a big letter X o n it.

 OSCAR  &  GRUNDGETTA  then start singin a song about how  GROUCHES  tra vel on the X Train , a train that , apparently , doesn ' t take any of its passengers anywhere , & that the  Train  whistle is the only thing that they can ever get going , which  GROUCHES  obviously never  mind  being who they are. Th ey  ' re backed up by a pair o f  GROUCH  conductor s (  RICHARD HUNT  &  MARTIN P . ROBINSON  ).

Then, after the song ,  OSCAR  asks Gordon asks Gordon if he has any questions about the X Train  , to which Gordon replies " Well , yes " , but  OSCAR  say s " Too bad !  I  'm not answering them ! " , & obviously  GRUNDGETTA  sa y s " Ha !  M E  eith er ! " , &  th  ey  start laughing as  th  ey  ( presumably ) head back down into  OSCAR  ' s  TRASH CAN .

Portion s of the song borrow from " Chattanooga Choo - Choo ".
