Sesame Street's 'Change The World': New Inspirational Muppet Video (WATCH)

They've been inspiring kids for over four decades, so it should be no surprise that Sesame Street's latest song is a fun little groove called "Change The World."

Starring the always happy Muppet who first announced her love for her hair -- in the appropriately titled "I Love My Hair" -- back in 2010, the song encourages young ones to follow their greatest dreams, whether that means being a doctor, an astronaut or even the President of the United States.

The song is written by Joey Mazzarino, the show's head writer. He penned last year's "Hair" song for his then-five year old daughter Segi, whom he and his wife adopted from Ethiopia when she was one. The character is clearly inspired by the little girl, and it's touching to see a father give his daughter such a great pep talk in such a creative and public way.

"Sesame Street" just started an anti-bullying campaign, too, working to encourage kids from a young age to be accepting of everyone.

Sesame Street has done it again! Chantylla Chauncey Johnson is the very talented vocalist for the Muppet.

I love this video and have played it for all of the children i know and they love it too. The first time I saw it i cried, I don't have to lie to kick it. Even at the age of 27 sesame street continues to teach me.

The earlier the age we can teach our children love, understanding and tolerance, greater the probablity they will incorporate those feeling into adulthood. It will be after my lifetime but I believe that one day we as a people collectively will be more in tune with each other.

Always loved the muppets :) You don't have to be the president or the first person on Mars to change the world, though. You can be a foster mom, a researcher, or even a muppet song-writer! All you need is to love what you do, because you know that it matters.

Cute, and inspiring. I just watched some R&B videos on Vimeo, and even the songs by young kids are about the opposite sex. So it's refreshing to see a video aimed at children with children in mind, inspiring and directing their minds toward excellence. Bravo.
