Todd Tilghman has unveiled the perfect duet for Father’s Day on Sunday (June 21), a duet of a Sesame Street classic song “I Don’t Want To Live On The Moon” with his son, Eagan Tilghman. The cover video not only features Todd and Eagan singing at a mic, but also clips and photos of Tilghman with his other children, making this the perfect video for Father’s Day.

I Don’t Want to Live On The Moon” was written by Jeffrey A Moss and originally sung by Jim Henson, recorded for the 1980 album, The People In Your Neighborhood, the song then later made an insert during Season 15. A new version of the song was shot during Season 25 of Sesame Street as a duet between Sesame Street character Ernie and Aaron Neville. The song was then re-released in 1991 on a Henson celebratory album entitled, Jim Henson: A Sesame Street Celebration (Vol. 2). The song was also released as a book, I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon, in 2001.

In this cover the Tilghman Father, Son duo sing:

“Well, I’d like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I’d like to visit the moon
But I don’t think I’d like to live there
Though I’d like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don’t want to live on the moon.”
