It Sure Is Hot, sung by rather generic people-muppets, I believe.

(male)
A girl named Rosalita moved in down the block
I really like her but I'm much too shy to talk
To have a little conversation is my goal
I'll break the ice with just a bit of Espanol

Hace calor, hace calor
Could fry an egg on the cement,
It's so caliente
Hace calor, mucho calor
How 'bout this weather,
It sure it hot!

(female)
The guy from up the block just totally made my day
But I'm too shy to think of anything to say
To have a little conversation would be neat
I guess I'll just keep right on talking about the heat

Hace calor, si si senor
Could fry an egg on the cement,
It's so caliente
Hace calor, mucho calor
How 'bout this weather,
It sure is hot!

Hace calor, si, it's as hot as an enchilada
Si la cabeza starts to cook like a cheese tostada
Hace calor, si, it's as hot as a hot tamale
Hace calor, si, it's as hot as a hot tamale

Hace calor, si si senor
Could fry an egg on the cement,
It's so caliente
Hace calor, si si senor
Could fry an egg on the cement,
It's so caliente

Um, The deal was signed almost 3 years before jim died, however, it was the rights to the characters, likenesses and all promo gimmicks, but *NOT* the shows

The Shows themselves (as well as all of the fraggle rock series) are owned
by _Ted Turner_ and they were being shown on TNT up until a little over
a year ago.  I believe fraggle rock is still being shown there.

I believe the Muppet Movie soundtrack was sold on CD.  I found
some information in a CD collectors book, and it listed this,
and The Great Muppet Caper and Muppets in Manhatten as CD's.
I can't find the paper I wrote the label and catalog numbers
on, but I think it was Atlantic.  If I dig it up, I'll put this
info into my mupp-ography posts.

Recently, I have been looking hard for any of these CDs.  I was
in San Jose last week for a conference, and went to several used
CD stores, and checked the childrens and soundtrack sections, but
no luck -- though I did find/buy a 1983 4 CD pack of Garrison
Keillor stuff.  Anyway, I went to several stores in San Jose,
Berkeley and San Francisco.  The main problem is that the people
who frequent used CD shops are typically not the type that once
owned muppet CDs.

      I've been following this group for a while... as far as I can tell,
      some of your info is just plain ol' wrong.  Disney didn't really get 
      "custody" of the Muppets.  Brian Henson is in charge of the Henson
      gang now, and they have some projects with Disney.  Your Snuffy info
      sounds like the FAQ (have you read this?) about Ernie dying.  As far
      as I know, they made Snuffy visible so that kids would feel that
      parents will trust them... that they weren't really seeing things.

Well, here's the correct version.  I didn't just fill

that were wrong in Mr. Evans' version, and it looks
nicer to see it all cleanly like this.  Here's the song:

One two three four five

We would like some lettuce
Will you send us ten heads please?
And ten sweet potatoes and ten rutabagas
With dimples on their knees?  

(Send us) One two three four five six seven eight
Nine ten artichokes.
Ten eggplants -- over easy!
That's one of our little jokes. (ha ha) 
Ten leafy, leafy collard greens
And please make sure they're washed
And brighten our eyes, light up our lives 
With ten banana squash.

(Give us) Ten cans of black-eyed peas
They give you good strong muscles.
And send along some sprouts...
The ones that they call 'brussels'.
Also send ten mangoes, 
They're the favorite of our sister Gert,
And, one last thing, please do include
Ten apples for dessert.


Ten!

I stand corrected on Big Bird as opposed to Grover.

As far as I know, the plan was to kill off Snuffy.  Because of school I
haven't been able to see Sesame Street that much, so it's possible that
it is now Ernie that is dying (which is ghastly!!!) as opposed to
Snuffy, but in the original plans, our four-legged trunked friend went
to that Sesame Street in the sky.  Do to the fact that I haven't seen
Sesame Street for the past few years, I, unfortunately, don't know who
they actually are killing off.  (Too bad it's not Elmo, the little twit.)

And yes, the Muppets were on Saturday Night Live.  I didn't feel the
need to elaborate, just start at the beginning.  They have been on a
great many shows, however.

Maybe custody was the wrong word, but Disney does at least partially own
the Muppets, hence the Muppet characters with Mickey Mouse at
Disneyland/world/whatever, plus the monetary aid to Brian Henson and Co.

Adding a little info about the Disney/Henson relationship:

Disney does not own the Muppets but they have the rights to use them at the
Disney/MGM studios in "Muppets on Location" and "Muppetvision 3-D" show and
attraction until 1994.  After that they can renew the contract.

Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Bean Bunny, Dr. Teeth, Floyd Pepper,
Janice, Zoot and Animal appear in "Muppets on Location".  The only live
Muppet character that appears in "Muppetvision 3-D" is Sweetums.  These
characters are not to be seen with Disney characters or the Teenage Ninja
Mutant Turtles in the park.  They can not walk around the park and do
"sets".
"Dinosaurs" are the only Muppets own by Disney.


It is unfortunate that the Disney/Henson deal was not finalized because
there where plans to build a Muppet Studios at the Disney/MGM Studios.
But I think that the decision to keep HA! independent was very good and
Brian Henson has done a very good job taking care of his father's work so
far.

the Frugal Gourmet can be Sooooooo smug and Elmo really toned him down (they
had some children come in later and F.Gourmet was really trying hard not to
laugh many times- it was rather cute (also Elmo had some very good
safety tips for kids (ie don't leave handles sticking out in the kitchen, no
pets underfoot and handling knives)

I always heard (and thought it was a very good idea) that Snuffy was
finally seen by everybody so that impressionable little kids would know
that adults would believe them if they said something kind of outlandish
(like, for instance, they are being abused or something like that).
I think that this fits the way _I_ have always viewed Jim Henson, caring
for and trying to help kids in the world today...

As I said, this is second-hand, so I may be mistaken, but, even if I am,
I think that this version is a bit nicer than showing him "so they can
kill him off".

(about 4+ hours of straight Muppets)  and it has some of their most

there's a Kermit the Frog cake out, which was given to me for my
