Lyrics
- C is for Cookie can be regarded as a case study in persuasive oratory, emphasizing the emotional aspect of public speaking. Cookie Monster builds excitement by answering his opening rhetorical question, "Now what starts with the letter C?" with the obvious reply, "Cookie starts with C!" He then challenges the audience, "Let's think of other things that starts with C," before quickly replying, "Oh, who cares about the other things?" casually dismissing a whole range of other possibilities as irrelevant. Thus, having ostensibly come for the purpose of covering the letter C in its entirety, Cookie Monster has already focused his agenda exclusively on cookies, employing the classic bait and switch tactic. -   - Several times in his presentation, Cookie Monster emphasizes what appears to be the central thesis of his remarks: "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me!" The appealing rhythm of this slogan appears designed to entrance listeners, swaying their emotions and making them instinctively want to chant along with him. After rousing the crowd, Cookie Monster systematically lays out the logical underpinnings of his pro-cookie ideology, comparing cookies to round donuts with one bite out of them and to the moon during its crescent phase, in essence using a straw man argument that implies his opponents would advocate the superiority of these competitors over cookies. In this sense, Cookie Monster may be proposing a false dichotomy representing cookies as the only viable choice to a group of obviously inferior alternatives. -   - But before the audience has a chance to catch on, Cookie Monster launches into another round of repetitive chanting, "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me, yeah!" as young children sing along. Here, Cookie Monster uses a propaganda technique strikingly similar to that employed in George Orwell's Animal Farm by the pig Napoleon, who trained the farm's sheep to bleat, "Four legs good, two legs bad" on his cue. -   - Cookie Monster then adds visual stimulation to his discourse by chomping into a large cookie, concluding his remarks with "Umm-umm-umm-umm-umm" and other chewing sounds.
 * Yes, original research. You made it up. George Orwell? I won't remove it again, but I hope to God someone does. - Vague | Rant 03:11, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it was fun while it lasted. Rad Racer 03:30, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Other Things Starting with the Letter C
I deleted this list of things that start with C. I don't think it adds to the page, and I see in the revision history that it's been added and deleted before. Unless someone can explain why such a section belongs in the article, it should not be re-added to the article. Podkayne 21:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

C for Cookie
Just wondering, is it worth mentioning the V for Vendetta parody "C for Cookie" here?Eric Sieck 00:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

A Cookie is sometimes food?
Could anyone please verify the claim made that PBS is making a new song about how "a cookie is a sometimes food?" it sounds like a hoax to me.Abyss42 00:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Album c is for cookie.jpg
Image:Album c is for cookie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like BetacommandBot done dropped it. Unfortunate since the fair use for album covers is pretty trivial -- we need a 'bot that cleans up after BcB in the album dept., methinks.  In this case the image is gone and I've done the image cleanup.Ogre lawless 19:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge needed
This article seems to have a duplicate at C Is for Cookie. --jwandersTalk 08:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That was my fault - I moved the page to the current spelling, but kept editing the old one... It is all fixed now, the duplicate is now a redirect. Wongm (talk) 12:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

K is for Kompressor
Should there be mention of the Kompressor song, "K is for Kompressor" which is derived from this song?-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 14:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Deleted statement from opening
I have deleted the following statement that was marked as unsourced more than 3 years ago:
 * The original version of the song is now hard to come by; the lyrics "C is for cookie, and cookie is for me" have been updated to "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me."

I have never heard any version of C is for Cookie that has that rather nonsensical lyric, and I've heard all the original recordings of it. It's possible a more recent politically correct version might have changed the lyrics, but again I haven't been able ot find anything to support that either. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 14:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
