The whole street joins in the celebrations

Google marks the 40th birthday of Sesame Street today, with its final doodle featuring the entire Sesame Street gang climbing over the search engine’s logo.

- Google’s most memorable doodles

This doodle follows a week-long series of images that has seen Bert and Ernie, Count Von Count, Big Bird and Cookie Monster adorn the Google logo.

In the United States today, the Street kicks off its 41st season, with Michelle Obama as its guest star. After 40 years the show still has major pull in Hollywood - other stars booked for the show this year include Cameron Diaz, Matthew Fox and Ricky Gervais.

Google has a long history of celebrating cultural icons and in recent weeks has paid tribute to HG wells, Wallace and Gromit and Michael Jackson. Though after a week of Sesame Street Google doodles, here at T3 we just can’t seem to get the Sesame Street theme tune out of our heads.

The rumors started a few years ago with a series of complaints that Cookie Monster advocated kids to eat too many sweets.

There will be no <a rev="vote for" title="Cookie Monster to Veggie Monster?
