Open Sesame is a children's television series composed solely of the skits and segments of the legendary American television series Sesame Street. While some countries air the American program in whole, and some create their own versions of the show, many more air this title of loosely associated skits, as Open Sesame. The name is a pun based on the magic words "Open sesame" which are used in the legend of Ali Baba.
Open Sesame was an album released by the funk band Kool and the Gang. The album was a disappointment, and received bad reviews from critcs, some citing it as the "least funky" album of the band. However, the album still yielded the title track Open Sesame which achieved some success in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
