-->-- '''Ernie''', ''Series/SesameStreet''

Many songs are about emotions. Some might be about [[SillyLoveSongs romantic love]], [[FriendshipSong platonic love]], [[MelancholyMusicalNumber sadness]], [[AngryMobSong anger]], [[IWantSong desire]] and many emotions besides, but this trope is what happens when you get a song about a whole ''lot'' of emotions. Well, three at the very least.

Maybe the song is about how the singer or the person being sung about is feeling multiple emotions at once or keeps shifting emotions (which could be because of several events that make them feel different ways happening at once, or a single complicated event that makes them feel all those emotions, or because [[MoodSwinger that's just how they roll]]).

It could also be educational, meant to teach about the emotions it mentions, which is common in kids' works, especially if the work in question is an EdutainmentShow. They'll often talk about what makes someone feel the emotions ("we're sad when someone dies, we're happy when we get ice cream, etc") or how emotions are expressed (e.g. "We laugh when we're happy, we cry when we're sad".) A common ending for the educational version is either a statement that happiness is the best/most important emotion, that all emotions are normal/acceptable, or both. Such songs tend to have generic names like "The Feelings Song" or "The Emotion Song".

The two variations can also overlap by having someone essentially have mood swings in song for educational purposes. Both versions can also be about ''several'' people feeling different emotions. The trope may also be downplayed by having the emotions be a secondary theme.

May be a ListSong. Compare ColorfulSong, which is this but with colors instead of emotions.
