Tween eyes may be on iTunes today as One Direction debuts their fourth album, aptly named Four, but if your 1D fan would rather see the band than just hear them, all she has to do is tune in to Sesame Street. Yup, the children's educational show finally revealed Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne's parody of their hit song "What Makes You Beautiful" with a new song, "What Makes 'U' Useful"! As the boys sing, "26 letters are in the alphabet, but we're here to sing about 'u,'" and that's just what they do. Covering everything from "udon" and "underpants" to "unibrow" (an inside joke for true Sesame Street fans), the song is beyond catchy and one that both tots and tweens will be humming long after the show is over.

And just so you don't think your kids are the only ones still going nuts for 1D, check out the mayhem on Sesame Street during the filming.

And if your tween still needs more, Bert recorded an acoustic version with the boys.
