Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s hit “Despacito” is undoubtedly the song of the summer and people can’t resist covering the massive latin hit — not even our pals at Sesame Street.
Along with Justin Bieber’s remix and the 2Cellos version. Ernie, Rosita, and Bert have released their own version of the song called “El Patito” — “Rubber Duckie” in Spanish.
Ernie’s homage to his favorite rubber duckie is far from Sesame Street’s first parody. They’ve released a few impressive ones in the past, including their hilarious Orange is the New Black spoof.
If you’re cynical like Bert and think you’ve heard enough of “Despacito,” just take a listen to “El Patito” and you’ll change your tune faster than Ernie hops into a warm bath.
Lyrics to El Patito:
Rubber Duckie, it is a connection
It doesn’t have to be a tubby session, ya
Take my day from zero to eleven, ya
Vo-doh-eh-oh! You are…
With me on the street everyday
Speaking in your own special way
That sound I wanna hear it
Squeaky! Squeaky!
El patito.
That’s spanish for Rubber Duckie!
Oh, el patito, es mi favorito.
Donde quiera que vaya hace su sonido.
El patito es tu buen amigo.
El patito
Duckie I’m so lucky,
Voh-di-oh-di-oh-oh.
No matter where we go, you and I we both know
We’re there for each other, so happy together
You might even say we’re two birds of a feather.
Duckie I’m so lucky, rubba dubba dubbie
Yellow little buddy, squeeze you and squeeze you
I know it doesn’t phase ya,
The song my duckie plays (ah).
All raise your hands up
Let’s hear what Rubber Duckie says(ah)
El paaaaa-tito
Oh, el patito, es mi favorito.
Donde quiera que vaya hace su sonido.
El patito es tu buen amigo
El patito.
