Gather round, young children looking to learn the alphabet/One Direction fans! The strapping young men of the world's most popular boy band have an upcoming appearance on
Sesame Street
and, as the preview shows us, they're teaching "what makes 'U' useful."
In the clip, the lads sing about words that begin with and include "U,"
like "udon" (for the precocious
Sesame Street viewer),
"ugh"
(for exasperated children), and "up" (for the really young ones). While
all of those words are perfectly useful (especially "ugh," IMHO), we
thought of a few ~fashionable~ options relevant to One Direction.

First up is the word
suit. While it's rare you get all five
members in suits at the same event, when you do, it's a beautiful thing.
Suits are what make One Direction beautiful. JK, it's their faces!

Since "udon" is included in the brief preview, we're willing to guess
the guys will be turning to other cultures for word variety. Enter the
word
jumper. It's British slang for sweater and something
Niall wears well. It's a 3-for-1 word. Please include.
Our Moment, of course, is One Direction's first fragrance. By including the word
perfume
in their appearance, they can teach kids about a very sweet-smelling
spray some teenagers (...and adults) spritz on themselves. Never miss a
product placement opportunity, fellas. I'm just looking out for you. You
should bring me on tour.

Much like perfume, including
makeup would be great product
placement for team 1D. Even though girls "don't need makeup to cover
up," One Direction happens to have a line of beauty products, so might
as well spread the news on
Sesame Street?

Finally, the most important world when talkin' 1D:
quiff. Like jumper, it's a word that's used in the UK more often than the U.S., but these young
Sesame Street viewers need to strengthen their vocabularies. You can't discuss Harry Styles' hair adequately without throwing "quiff" around. I've tried. It's impossible.
