"I Love Trash" is Oscar the Grouch's signature song. It was first performed on Sesame Street in season 1, and has been retaped several times as the Oscar puppet evolved.
Oscar lists off several special items in his trash collection that he admires; including a tattered and worn sneaker that was given to him by his mother, a 13-month-old newspaper with smelly, cold fish wrapped inside, a defective clock, an old telephone, a broken umbrella, and a rusty trombone.

Steven Tyler (b. 1948) is the lead singer of Aerosmith, who remade "I Love Trash" for Elmopalooza. He is also a judge on the reality show American Idol. Kermit the Frog interviewed Tyler on the red carpet for the 2011 world premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
With a mischievous tone, Steven Tyler sets the stage for a whimsical journey. The first verse tells us about a tattered and worn sneaker, full of holes and torn laces, given to him by his mom on the day he was born. Despite its imperfections, he loves it dearly because it’s trash.
