* SesameStreetCred: They've contributed songs to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' movies ("My Beloved Monster", "I Need Some Sleep", "Royal Pain", "Losing Streak") and the live-action version of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' ("Christmas Is Going To The Dogs"). In ''Things The Grandchildren Should Know'', E makes a self-effacing crack about giving his music to any film with a main character who is ornery and green, but also notes that he likes having his songs in films aimed at children because "kids know where it's at". There was also "Mighty Fine Blues" and "Eyes Down" for the tween-geared ''Film/{{Holes}}''.
