Synopsis
An announcer welcomes the viewer to the Sesame Street Music Videos show, The Count's Countdown, and introduces the host, Count Von Count! The Count greets the viewer and displays the Top 7 Countdown for this week. He begins with song #7, "The Ten Commandments of Health", sung by Dr. Thad and the Medications. He then introduces the #6 song, "Do-Op Hop", sung by Kermit the Frog.

After the song, Big Bird requests the Count to play some rock-and-roll for the show's #5 song, and the Count introduces Over the Top's song, "ZZ Blues". Then, the Count introduces a bonus song, as performed by the Honkers, "Honk Around the Clock".

After the song, Oscar requests the Count to play a "moldy oldie" for the show's #4 song, which results into the Beetles' "Letter B". The Count then introduces the #3 sung, "Wet Paint", sung by How Now Brown and the Moo Wave. For the #2 song, the Count introduces Ernie and his friends singing "Do De Rubber Duck". After the song, the Count mentioned that he was in the video.

The Count then introduces the #1 song of The Count's Countdown weekly list; it was the same song that goes on week after week, because it's his favorite song! He introduces Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats singing "Count It Higher"!

Finally, the Count signs off the show and tells the viewers to tune in next week when "Count It Higher" will become #1 again. He says goodbye as the credits roll.
