I’m happy and I’m proud to be a worm
I can wiggle I can squiggle I can squirm
And I holler every day, “I’m a worm, hip hip horray!”
Yes I’m happy and I’m proud to be a worm

Are these the lyrics to Carrie Underwood’s latest single? Not exactly — but they are the lyrics to Carrie Underworm’s new tune. Five-time Grammy Award winner Carrie will soon appear on America’s longest running children’s television show, Sesame Street, as a specially-created character known as “Carrie Underworm.”  Carrie recorded the song, “The Worm Anthem,” specifically for the show. Rolandnote.com reports the episode originally aired on Dec. 28, with  NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon introducing Ms. Underworm’s performance.

The episode in which “Carrie Underworm” performs is currently slated to re-air February 11, March 17, April 8, and April 26 on PBS. But today, DailyMotion.com posted a sneak peek. Click below to see it!

  2. Just sitting here wondering why every article about Carrie – and probably Taylor ends up in a rift between fans. Why doesn't everybody just read the articles and keep this FAN-BASED rivalry out of it! It's so childish and has NOTHING whatsoever to do with any of the articles. I, for one, am sick and tired of it. As far as the article – I'm loving Carrie Underworm! So cute.

  3. Carrie has been my favorite from day on on American Idol. What a Beautiful person & extremely talented. I love her music & have her CD's & I'm 63 yrs old. Proud of you Carrie, keep up the good work.

  4. Gosh I don't realize that Taylor's fans are so pathetic, maybe they need to seek help to handle their 'over hatred' and try to make peace with themselves.

    It is just funny and ridiculous that they bashing Carrie. Carrie did not ask or beg to be on that programmed, but the Sesame Street Team who chooses her instead of TS as one of their character in SS. If TS' fans wants so badly her idol to be in the SS, just go ahead ask and make a petition to SS Team to create her SS character, it'll solve the problem and you can be happy, so no need for you bashing another artist.

    Carrie and TS are both have their own success so no need for you become a pathetic person just to defense your idol. Just get yourself a 'happy and healthy' life!!!

    PS : It’s cute and funny Carrie Underwood character, her hair reminds me of miss Piggy LOL. Indeed Carrie loves animal, she has teamed up with Pedigree to shoot public service announcement for Company's adoption drive

  5. This made me laugh! Congrats to Carrie "Underworm"! Love her. :)
    Carrie's such an incredible talent, role model, and one of the most humble & down-to-earth people in the music industry today.

    And to all the haters (aka fans of Taylor Swift) who have nothing better to than bash the person who's the biggest threat to their favorite artist: in order to be featured in a special on shows like this that are displayed worldwide to nearly every country out there, one needs to be able to sing. That's why CARRIE was selected. :)

  6. Carrie Underworm is fantastic, so like Carrie to always show compassion for Children-She is the best out there, vocally, personality, and class!!!!You go Carrie-we love you

  8. cu is such a publicity hug.. and cu fans the ones that commented on my other post you do not no what you are talking about…. taylor is a much better all around artist than cu is… who's cd was #1 in 2008 and 2009 taylor… whowon a grammy for best album taylor and the youngest ever…..and cu no…country album taylor…. country vocal and song taylor for white horse… 2 entertainer of the yaer awards… and so many records set and broken to many mention… cu none…taylor is by far a better all around artist!!!!!

    diamond on February 11, 2010 at 4:33 pm
    • Can you say Kanye West-Taylor is not what you paint her to be-she cannot sing and swinging her hair is getting old and so is she. Taylor is 20-time to graduate high school-

      GalPal on February 11, 2010 at 4:52 pm
    • Bahahahah! Pathetic. Taylor Swift isn't even close to Carrie Underwood vocally, personality wise, charismatically, and personably. Taylor is very fake, and whenever she wins an award, she acts all surprised. She expects it, but she puts on a show for the cameras to make it seem like she's shocked. Honestly, we all know she's going to get awards because Kanye was the best thing to happen to her career; she actually got publicity since then. But that year has long since passed, and now it's time for Carrie to win back EVERYTHING she truly deserved that Taylor unfairly received by the overly-sympathetic and unintelligent industries.

    • (cont.)
      Taylor won the CMA Entertainer of the Year. Only one she's ever won. Get your facts straight, because Carrie's won 7 Grammys (3 vocals, 1 Best New Artist– Taylor lost that one, 2 Country Songs– Jesus Take the Wheel and Before He Cheats, and 1 Country Collab. for "I Told You So" feat. Randy Travis), Carrie won the ACM Entertainer of the Year for 2009, Carrie's CD went #1 in 2009 (taking over "Fearless"), and Carrie has 14 BMAs, 8 ACMs, 5 CMAs, 5 PCAs, etc. The list goes on and on, far more than Taylor's. Plus, Carrie had the #1 COUNTRY ALBUM OF THE DECADE. So Carrie > Taylor in every way. Get your facts straight for an argument.

  9. I find it amusing when there is an article on Carrie the Taylor tweens come out and say how mean and stuck up Carrie is-smacks of Junior High School whining. My question is how would you know if you don't go to her concerts? Have you ever spoken to her? The tweens are in an uproar because Carrie has a spot on Sesame Street and Taylor doesn't-oh boo hoo. You claim when there are negative comments about a Taylor article like she can't sing…all the CU people come out and say "mean" things and they shouldn't read the article…but yet here you are on a Carrie article doing the same thing…hmmmmmm

    GalWife on February 11, 2010 at 1:47 pm
  10. yeah right, you read too many personal account of Carrie's haters .. no wonder.

    I have read many general medias / interviews (NOT people personal accounts who have their own agenda), they all said that Carrie is so down-to-earth person, even her peers, seniors said the same thing.

    See even Canadian press gave high praise for her attitude and humbleness :

    quote :
    "It's hard to think of a more appropriate star for Ottawa. Those who've met her all say the same thing: she's so down-to-earth. And they say it quietly."

  11. It is so great for Carrie to do this – she's awesome!

    Taylor on February 10, 2010 at 10:02 pm
  12. Carrie is so overrated. I agree Taylor is much better any day. Have read too many peoples personal accounts of how mean Carrie is. She is so phony. Sesame Street should have used Taylor-at least she's real and more popular with the younger generation. At the end of the day she won a popularity contest where the best singer was not chosen. Taylor at least did not need a show like Idol to succeed.

    Anndie on February 10, 2010 at 6:08 pm
    • see that's the problem anndie..they needed someone who could sing…taylor can't

      • Hatred and jealous are not good for your health… grow up

        margie on February 11, 2010 at 3:56 am
    • Carrie can sing. That's what it comes down to. Taylor's vocals are miles away from Carrie, and Carrie brought the youngin's over to country before Taylor, with Taylor backing her up. 'Idol' obviously got it RIGHT since they gave the world an artist that ended up making the #1 country album of the decade, as established by Billboard Official Charts! Taylor's not more real, and Carrie is widely more popular. Plus, just because Taylor LABELS her album as country doesn't mean it is. Every song is about the same broad, cliche topics: love, heartbreak, and boys. It's all lame and stale. Plus, she's pure pop. Once your nominated for Grammys in pop genres, you know you've completely transferred from your original genre to the other.

      aisecaj on February 12, 2010 at 3:16 am
  13. Carrie Underworm LOL…it's so funny and loves it.

    Geez TS's label boss and her fans are really identical, they are just a bunch of childish people (just like most of her songs) …. grow up!!

    Moi on February 10, 2010 at 7:41 am
  14. taylor is nothing compare to carrie…taylor has a gud impact when it comes to teen fans only….but carrie is more appreciated in music industry…does taylor sing the anthem twice or 3’s?does taylor sing at cnn and etc?

    jonesjueves on February 10, 2010 at 1:00 am
  15. Thanks, GAC. This is adorable. Love it. Love Carrie.

    carrietx on February 10, 2010 at 4:04 am
  16. Love it. Very cute and funny. Carrie proved once again she can sing anything, even a worm anthem. ha ha! I am a Carrie Underwood fan NO Matter What. She is a special young lady as well as an extremely talented singer who can sing anything without the aid of pro tools.

    Jamie on February 10, 2010 at 3:19 am
  17. YAY!!! The kids are loving this and us not so young are too! GO CARRIE GO!!!

    sharkbait14 on February 10, 2010 at 12:19 am
    • This is sooo cute! Way to go Carrie!

      Dakota on February 10, 2010 at 12:23 am
  18. Carrie Underwood is probably the nicest person you will ever meet! i have met her twice and she was so nice!! her album is amazing and it is selling really well.

    trout on February 9, 2010 at 11:28 pm
  19. Dimond- Carrie's Play On has already sold over 1milliion. That's an amazing mark in the first 3 months an album is out.

    Bree on February 9, 2010 at 10:30 pm
  20. taylor is a much better all around person.. and i have seen both and cu is NOT nice she is to busy looking at herself.. this is so stupid she is just doing this for publicity because her cd is not selling good!!!

    diamond on February 9, 2010 at 10:13 pm
    • mmm diamond it's kind of funny everytime there is something about carrie you bash her and tell us how taylor is so much better..and i mean you do this evertime..it's okay i understand how you feel threaten by how good carrie is. Its okay diamond we already know carrie is awesome , you don't have to keep proving it by ts fans bashing her and feeling so threatened…

      relax a little and play on diamond..play on

      macey on February 10, 2010 at 2:13 am
    • Your sad. Go get a life. Just because you like Taylor *NOT SO SWIFT* does not mean you have to come hate on Carrie & Her fans. Her Album is doing just fine. Besides all of Carries vids and songs have went # 1 has Taylors? No. So there you go. I am not a fan of Taylor I norm dont hate on her like this. But you made me so congrats you just made a new hater for Taylor :)

      Trey on February 10, 2010 at 2:36 am
    • You give Taylor fans a horrid name.
      Bashing the artist who is the biggest threat to her and is succeeding far more than her is shameful, as well as very sore.

      Carrie's CD isn't selling good… LMAO! It went platinum faster than Taylor's CD (1 and a half months). Her 2nd CD just went 3x platinum, and her 1st CD is 7x Platinum, making it the #1 country album of the decade & #14 album of the decade, all genres! :)
      For all of those CDs to sell like that at once in these times is impeccable. And these are just the United States totals!

      aisecaj on February 12, 2010 at 3:19 am
  21. Carrie you are the greatest .

    brandon on February 9, 2010 at 10:06 pm
  22. This is just tooooooo cute!!!! Love Carrie. Can't wait for her next project.

    avalonsister on February 9, 2010 at 8:06 pm
  23. You fans are ridiculous. Carrie is not the best.

    Kerriebasher on February 9, 2010 at 2:27 pm
    • better than Taylor.

      aisecaj on February 12, 2010 at 3:19 am

    Michelle on February 9, 2010 at 4:42 pm
  26. if there are any bashers here that is sick…this article is about carrie underwood doing something for a children's program and if you bash that..then you are just a sick person..

    lynn on February 9, 2010 at 1:23 pm
  27. THAT IS TOO CUTE! I LOVED IT! CARRIE IS AMAZING AND I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A CARRIE UNDERWOOD FAN!

    NOT HAPPY on February 9, 2010 at 5:56 am
  28. I also agree this is so cute.I am glad Carrie is doing this for Sesame Street.To all the bashers,just move on and use that hate somewhere-else.This is for a childrens show and your hatred is uncall for.

    charlotte on February 8, 2010 at 11:46 pm

  31. That was hilarious. Cute song–very catchy melody. GAC-I liked your caption on this article and I had to check it out to see what the heck it was about. VERY FUNNY.

  32. carry underwear sucks! Taylor Swift is much better and more talented.

    SwiftFan on February 9, 2010 at 1:56 am
    • Oh the green-eyed monster raises its ugly head. If you don't like her, don't listen. No one is bending your ears.

      Snowbird on February 9, 2010 at 2:09 am
    • How old are you, 14?!? I'm sure if you told Taylor herself that you think Carrie Underwood sucks, she'd wonder what's wrong with you and why you're such a hater. Just because you happen to prefer one singer over another, doesn't mean the other singer sucks. If you ask her peers and the professionals in the music business, they'll tell you that Miss Underwood has one of the best pure singing voices since Martina McBride. Having said that, I think everybody realizes what a huge impact Taylor Swift (who I've met and is one of the sweetest people there is) has had on the country music industry over the past year as well. There is a wealth of talent in country music today, which is why the format just keeps getting bigger and better.

      Mike on February 9, 2010 at 2:13 am
    • How retarded of you. You just make Taylor look bad when you come here saying stupid stuff like that. If your not a fan then dont read about her. Are you to stupid to know this…oh and im no taylor fan but I dont go around on anything about her saying stuff but maybe I should now :)

      Trey on February 9, 2010 at 2:20 am
    • You might not like Carrie's music. But to say that Taylor is better is insane!!! Her vocals are nowhere near as good as Carrie's are. The girl sucks at singing!!! Open up your ears you idiot

      Trey on February 9, 2010 at 2:23 am
    • Dream on That will be the day.

      OldGoat34 on February 9, 2010 at 6:49 am
    • Taylor Swift is much better and more talented.. ARE YOU SURE? HAVE YOU WATCHED TAYLOR'S PERFORMANCE AT THE GRAMMY AWARD? IS NOT MORE TALENTED THAN CARRIE? I DONT THINK SO… VPCALLY SPEAKING CARRIE IS FAR TALENTED THAN TAYLOR..

      REZA on February 9, 2010 at 6:05 pm
    • you have got to be kidding

      barb b on February 9, 2010 at 6:12 pm
    • She sucks so badly that she got asked back to perform at the Grammy Awards for the 4th consecutive year in a row and won her 7th Grammy. Yup, she's terrible. You keep thinkin' that in your little Taylor world while we all live in reality where Carrie is one of the biggest stars in music today, and far more superior to Taylor.

      aisecaj on February 12, 2010 at 3:22 am
    • If you think Taylor is a good singer you need to have your ears check.

      Honeybunny on March 9, 2010 at 8:21 pm
