Synopsis
An announcer (Jerry Nelson) introduces the "live-on-tape" Fuzzy Awards ceremony, hosted by Herry Monster. Herry tells the audience that this year's monster song hits will play and one of them will be the Fuzzy Award Winner. Elmo eagerly wants to announce the winning song in an envelope, but Herry warns him not to open it until after the songs are played. He demands Elmo to give him the envelope, but Elmo runs off while Herry chases him. The announcer introduces the first two songs: Herry stops the chase to introduce a song about a monster who likes to go "Arrrgh!". Herry has Elmo promise that he won't open the envelope until later, and Herry then introduces the next song:
 * "Fur" (The Aristocrats)
 * "Herry's Family Song" (Herry Monster and Family)
 * "Frazzle" (Frazzle and Friends)
 * "Two Heads Are Better Than One" (Herry Monster and The Singing Heads)
 * "Fuzzy and Blue" (Grover, Herry Monster, Cookie Monster and Frazzle)
 * "Comb Your Face" (Furline Huskie)

Herry then presents the Lifetime Monster Achievement Award to his mommy, and introduces a song he'd like to play based on this: Herry reminds Elmo that the envelope will be opened after the next three songs: The time has come for Herry to welcome his special guest, from this year's winning song, to the stage: Cookie Monster! Cookie Monster, about to open the envelope with the winning song, gets so hungry and tempted into eating the envelope, and does so anyway. Herry becomes disappointed that they'll never know which song is the winner, but then Elmo looks inside Cookie's mouth and announces the Fuzzy Awards winning song: Cookie Monster is happy now that his song becomes this year's Fuzzy Award Winner. As the audience applauds and cameras flash, Herry wraps up the Fuzzy Awards ceremony and says "Thanks fur everything!" A full credit crawl follows.
