1979 Sesame Street Records rerelease

There's a Hippo in My Tub, rereleased as Anne Murray Sings for the Sesame Street Generation, is a 1977 children's album by Anne Murray. Although the album did not make any of the major charts in the US or Canada, it was certified Platinum in Canada. The album was initially reissued in 1979 by Sesame Street Records retitled Anne Murray Sings for the Sesame Street Generation. It was again reissued in 2001 in CD format by EMI Music Canada, including three extra songs that were not on the original album. It was produced by Pat Riccio Jr.

As Anne Murray Sings for the Sesame Street Generation, the album was nominated for the 1980 Grammy Awards in the Best Children's Album category, where it was up against two other Sesame Street-branded albums and the soundtrack of The Muppet Movie, which won. The synthesizer line from “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” was sampled by the American hip hop group Ugly Duckling as part of the song “Down the Road.”
