'I'm Elmo And I Know It' : Kid-Friendly Version Of LMFAO's Hit Song

First Posted: 01/13/2012 10:00 am EST Updated: 03/09/2013 2:07 am EST

Every toddler's biggest celebrity crush just came out with a new song. It's "I'm Elmo and I Know It," the very G-rated version of LMFAO's hit, complete with a video featuring Big Bird and Snuffie, Dorothy (the fish) -- and the First Lady.

Little kids were already drawn to the original. Three-year-old Malik entertained the Interweb when he performed it in full. "Toddlers and Tiaras" star Isabella Barrett was also caught on tape singing it at a nightclub (eek).

Clearly, Elmo hopping on the bandwagon is good news for parents who would rather their children not be singing lyrics like "in a Speedo trying to tan my cheeks". Elmo's refrain: "Kids, look at these crayons."

An added bonus is that for any mom who spends her days humming the original Elmo's Song ("la la la la" aaaaah!), "I'm Elmo and I Know It" is just as catchy and crazy cute.

But, the very best part? According to the YouTube description from PAFilmsdotcom, the song and video were created by their kids! It's sung by Caitlin C., Brooklyn C. and Jeff C.

Reworked the end of the video to remove the weird Mr Noodle dance and the strange Jamie Fox look to just Elmo grooving on a planet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGYVSenTWnU

Why is the word kids possessive in the line kids look at these crayons?...come on Sesame Street, that's just lazy, you're supposed to be teaching kids things!

That was bothering me too, but I don't think Sesame Street did this video. I think it was fan-made. You can tell it's not Kevin Clash doing Elmo's voice during the song.

Sesame Street didn't make it, read the last paragraph.

"Kids look at these crayons - I make art!" Priceless. Thanks to LMFAO for letting them do the parody... although I still can't tell my 8 yo daughter what your band name initials stand for.

Love it! My 5 year old discovered the original on the radio and no matter how many times I tell her it's not appropriate she insists on singing it. Now I can teach her this version and not worry about what she's singing.

I think Elmo should be on the Grammies! Or at least be invited to entertain on the show!
