While we're on the subject on Lyrics...

Does anyone know the works to "The Rhyming Song"?
I remember seeing/hearing it on a muppet show a long time ago....

i don't think that's the one... the one i remember was started by
scooter.  it just had a drum beat, four line verses, and nobody (at least,
not fozzie) could actually rhyme anything.

scooter: let's all sing the rhyming song,
chorus : the rhyming song, the rhyming song,
scooter: let's all sing the rhyming song,
chorus : (bass drum beat) the rhyming song.

it featured perhaps my favorite muppet line:
(line 3 of some verse, sung by fozzie)
there's no hot water in my hotel.

btw, i think this was asked before, and everybody remembered the song,
but nobody remembered the lyrics. *sigh* isn't that the way they say it goes...

SPOILERS FOR _INTO THE WOODS_!!!
(blank lines follow...sorry, can't do any nifty control characters!)













 All right!  Everyone who has seen _Into the Woods_ and thinks
Piggy would be perfect for the witch, raise your hand.  Let's
see, one, two, three...nine thousand and eight....   Just what
I thought, perfect casting!

 Actually, _Into the Woods_ is one of Sondheim's best (along
with _Pacific Overtures_, _Sweeney Todd_ and _Sunday in the
Park_) and IMHO JHP is the perfect partner for bringing it
to the screen.  It's such a wonderful blend of fantasy,
humor, and hard-nose sentiment (! well, you have to see it
to know what I mean...some of the fairy tale characters die
in the end).  It's really a tale of the importance of
connection and relationships.  And relationships is one of
the things the Muppets did best.  It will be very interesting
to see if JH's kids can continue that spirit.  I'm betting
on them.

  the name change, such as "It's about thyme", will
  be cheerfully ignored.  And no, I did NOT marry a
  guy named Herb.)

yes, I think so- I think at one point Phylisia Rhyshad (I know I mangled the
spelling) (she played the mother on the Cosby Show) played the wicked witch-
the musical is supposed to be delightful with LOTS of magical/fable characters
in it- it sounds PERFECT for JHP.

   The Rhyming Song was performed in The Muppet Show episode that featured
Loretta Lynn, and was done from an abandonned train station (because the
Muppet theatre was being fumigated).  Fozzie, Scooter, Annie Sue and Link
had to do The Rhyming Song, even though they weren't ready, because there
was nothing else on stage:

Fozzie:   Let's all sing the rhyming song,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            Let's take turns and rhyme together,
            The rhyming song.

Scooter:  I was hungry but now I'm not,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            'Cause I ate some beans and grapes!  (pause)
            The rhyming song!

Both:       Let's all sing the rhyming song,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            Let's take turns and rhyme together,
            The rhyming song.

Annie:    I left my knees in your car,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            My laundry's ready at half past nine!
            The rhyming song.

All:        Let's all sing the rhyming song,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            Let's take turns and rhyme together,
            The rhyming song.

Link:       The stars are twinkling in the sky,
            The rhyming song, the rhyming song,
            There's no hot water in my hotel!
            The rhyming song.

Scooter:  This is not the rhyming song,
All:        The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
Fozzie:   I know it's not the rhyming song!
All:        The rhyming song.

Annie:    What'll we do now?
Link:       I don't know!
All:        The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
Fozzie:   Let's jump up and down, and wave our arms in the air,
            and get off the stage!

(followed by furious action with muppets jumping around, bumping into
curtains and each other in their effort to flee the stage).

Statler: Boy, they're really getting desparate.
Waldorf: Maybe that's a good sign; soon they might panic and run away!

the song i quoted "was* called "the rhyming song", but it apparently wasn't
the only sesame st song with this name.  it was done with animate ddrawings and 
not muppets.

No disagreeing here.  I've got bunches of the songs on audiotape,  
videotape, and sheet music.. _mostly_ older songs, esp. of the sheet  
music, but I've got some of the newer ones, too, and would be willing to

Does anyone have lyrics to Letter B?

 The Smart E's (sp) have sampled the intro tune to Sesame Street (dahhh dah
dah dahhh dah dah dahhh dah dah) laid down a groovy disco beat over and have
kids singing "how to get to Sesame's Treat".

 Now, originally the boys had only intended to press a couple of thousand
copies of the single for club play but it caught on and became *big*. So CTW
brandished a lawyer at them and as a result all profits from the single are
supposedly going to charity. BTW the band's name is a not too veiled
reference to the drug Ecstasy. I've no problem with private drugs use but
let's keep the pushers off Sesame Street, huh?

                                               John.

Maybe I'm just twisted, but I can see some parallels between the episode
"Free For All" and the campaign of Ross Perot.  Perot enters as the
political outsider, the lone wolf, the man without a party taking
on the establishment.  The establishment (media and those who have the
real power) pretends to go along with him.  At the end, he finds his
victory was all an illusion.

Do you love science fiction?  Would you like to see Dr. Who, the
Hitchhiker's Guide, Blake's 7, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Gallactica,
Red Dwarf, and other classic sci-fi tv shows again?  (Yes, Star Trek
is already carried in Austin, but can you ever get enough?)  Would
you enjoy viewing the great (and awful) sci-fi movies once again?

Well, the cable science fiction channel is scheduled to start
broadcasting on September 25, and many of our favorites will be
making appearances.  Unfortunately, Austin CableVision currently
has no plans to carry the science fiction channel.  However, they
have said that they will consider it if they receive enough
requests.  Their phone number is (512)-448-1000, so let them
hear from you!

There are several more .WAV files out there now.  I will post 
DIN2.WAV and DIN3.WAV when I get them cleaned up.  One is missing 
a word, and the other has some noise that needs to be cleaned out.
 
The rest will be post at less than 20 pieces per day until I get them
all posted (trying to keep the bandwidth down)....
