Getting Schooled: You're Alive (1980)

 From Sesame Street:

A Muppet band rocks out with "You're Alive". For those of you with concerns about heart issues, this applies to you, too.


Vocalist Christopher Cerf is the son of long time Random House editor-publisher Bennett Cerf (ex-What's My Line?), and an accomplished author and songwriter in his own right.

Years ago I happened upon a Sesame Street coloring book which referred to this band as 'Chris and the Alphabeats' AFAIK, they were never called by this name (or any name) on the show, but now learning the name of the lead vocalist/songwriter, the moniker makes sense.

Exactly. Like his father, Christopher Cerf is better known as an author. Until today, the only work I knew of his was "Born to Add", which was a riff on Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run".
