Watch One Direction Perform On Sesame Street Here!

One Directionare heading to Sesame Street and they know what makes the letter "U" so great. 

 

The X Factor boyband are due to appear on the long-running children's programme next season and Directioners are getting an early look at their ode to the 21st letter in the alphabet.

 

The fivesome have re-worked their hit What Makes You Beautiful to pay homage to the letter U.

 

 

Member Harry Styles declares in the track: "26 letters are in the alphabet, but we're here to sing about you."

 

They also list off words that start with the letter, a puppet version of which appears with the guys in the sketch.

 

According to a report, 1D aren't the only A-listers set to make appearances on the educational program for the 2014-2015 season. 

 

Tina Fey, Janelle Monae and Macklemore have also been tapped to stop by Sesame Street to hang with Big Bird and the crew.

 

This year is shaping up to be another big one for One Direction. They are set to kick off their Where We Are stadium world tour later this spring.

 

Ahead of their epic jaunt, Niall Horan is currently recovering from knee surgery.
