## Lyrics

All my friends finally convinced

Me to get out of the house

To help me forget, to help me move on

Then I heard you're back in town

In a crowd of strangers and lovers

Someone told me that you were coming so

I should probably go to bed

I should probably turn off my phone

I should quit while I'm ahead

I should probably leave you alone

'Cause I know in the morning (in the morning)

I'll be calling (I'll be calling)

Saying sorry for the things I said

So I, yeah

I should probably go to bed

So I don't undo the got over you

That it took so long to find

'Cause all it would take

Is seeing your face and I'd forget

I should probably go to bed

I should probably turn off my phone

I should quit while I'm ahead

I should probably leave you alone

'Cause I know in the morning (in the morning)

I'll be calling (I'll be calling)

Saying sorry for the things I said

So I, yeah

I should probably go to bed

Before I question my decision

Is it love? I know it isn't

Now I'm all up in my head again

'Cause I know I don't

Have the self-control

To walk away if you walk in

Oh

I know, I know, I know, I know

I should probably go to bed

Ooh-ah, I'm all up in my head (I'm all up in my head)

Ooh-ah, I should go to bed (go to bed)

Ooh-ah, I'm all up in my head (go to bed, go to bed)

Ooh-ah, I should go to bed

In a crowd of strangers and lovers

Someone told me that you were coming so

I should probably go to bed

It Really Was No Miracle

It Really Was No Miracle is the 2nd part of the Munchkinland Sequence.

## Lyrics

ELINOWY: It really was no miracle

what happened was just this:

the wind began to switch

the house to pitch

and suddenly the hinges

started to unhitch

just then the witch

to satisfy an itch

went flying on her broomstick

thumbing for a hitch.

CITIZEN: And oh what happened then was rich:

VILLAGERS: the house began to pitch

the kitchen took a slitch

it landed on the wicked witch

in the middle of a ditch

which was not a healthy situation for a wicked witch

MUNCHKINS: the house began to pitch

the kitchen took a slitch

it landed on the wicked witch

in the middle of a ditch

which was not a healthy situation for a wicked witch

who began to twitch

and was reduced to just a stitch

of what was once a wicked witch
Justin Wong

**Justin Wong** is a kid who only appeared in The Spungi Wizard of Oz.

## Biography

Justin Wong left home when he turned 16 to work in circuses and sideshows under the stage name "Idaho Lewis" in order to support himself and his other siblings. Shortly after, he was offered a role in The Spungi Wizard of Oz as one of the Munchkin soldiers, which he accepted.

After his work as a Munchkin on The Spungi Wizard of Oz, he continued to tour at fairs, before working in a "midget" bar.

In his later life he appeared at many Spungi Wizard of Oz events along with several of the other surviving actors who portrayed Munchkins in the film. Ill health later prevented Wong from attending such events such as the laying of the Munchkins' star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in November 2015 after needing to use a wheelchair full-time. His last public appearance was at the 2014 Spungi Wizard of Oz Festival in Chesterton.

John Williams III

**John Williams III** better known to audiences as **John-John**, was one of the many small children who appeared on the early seasons of Spungi Network.

Williams joined the show at the age of three, after his mother answered an open call for *Spungi Network* kids. "The thing that clicked, my mother told me, was that I was able to relate to the Muppets. I wasn't afraid of them," Williams said in an interview. "And I remembered every single character's name." In another interview Williams said, "I think what they liked was that I communicated with the Muppets with eye contact, like they were humans." He also could count in English, French, and Spanish.

Though he appeared on the street segments with Mia, Anthony Hobbs, and the rest, John-John's most notable segments were his honest, often unpredictable, interactions with Keiko Mathewson, Timmy Pruce Rudman, and other Spungiers. John-John contributed to many of the best remembered Spungi Network Kid Moments.

John-John sang "Still We Like Each Other" with Keiko on the album *Spungi LIVE!*, and also sang in the children's chorus on that album. John-John once participated in a game of "Here Are Some Things", in which he pretended to be Derek Coleman Jr. while Derek pretended to be John-John and answered the question.

As a young man, Williams (nicknamed John-John by his mother after John F. Kennedy Jr.) joined the Air Force, and was stationed at Laughlin AFB in Texas. He made a special appearance in the TV special *Spungi Network at Night*, where he reunited with Timmy Pruce Rudman.

An interview in the *San Antonio Express-News*described a funny moment in Williams' relationship with his wife:

As of 1998, Williams and his wife resided in San Antonio with their two children, and he was working on establishing himself as a Tejano singer, following in his parents' entertainment footsteps (his mother was a jazz singer, and his father was a bassist for Doc Severinsen's *Tonight Show* band).

List of Openings

These openings aired on Spungi Network from August 24, 2009 to September 26, 2015. They are all live-action kids and/or their parents opening a cardboard shoebox, with some animation and the Spungi Network logo on certain things. Most of these idents were designed by Trace Pictures, a company who also designed certain activities and the openings for Spungi's programming blocks, which also had their own cardboard shoebox openings and closings.

## Rain

Two parents prepare their daughter to go outside in the rain, and open a box where an umbrella floats in a puddle and a watering can grows flowers. Male singers sing about the show coming up next, ending with a girl’s voice saying "Spungi Network!" Used for Barney & Friends, Caillou, Firewoman Pam. The "Barney" variant of the ident was used on accident before an episode of Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies in 2011. A version with different music exists here, but probably never aired on the channel.

## Tree

A mom watches her daughter blow a dandelion, and opens a box where a tree grows and we see a squirrel waking up from hibernation, a bird singing, and a caterpillar crawling. An acorn with the Sprout logo drops, and male singers scat the show coming up next. Used for Tree Fu Todd, FitnessTown. A version with different music exists here, but probably never aired on the channel.

## River

A grandfather watches his granddaughter's craft butterfly. He opens the box and the girl lets it go, as we see fish down a waterfall, and the girl blows a pinwheel. Male singers sing about the show coming up next. Used for Sesame Street, Super Kai, and Chuggie & Pals.

## Space

Two girls have made a bottle in which becomes a rocket when they open a box. It floats up to the moon where they put the flag on it. Male singers sing about the show coming up next. Used for Caillou (nighttime airings) and The Wolfgramms.

## Winter

Two kids made snowflakes, and put them in a cardboard shoebox they opened. A bear goes ice skating, and snow falls off a board with the Spungi Network logo. A female announcer talks about the show coming up next.

Kermit's Big Birthday Surprise

**Kermit's Big Birthday Surprise** was a 2008 blockisode of Kermit's Club airing on September 26th made to commemorate Spungi Network's 3rd anniversary and Kermit's Club's 1st anniversary, although the special itself celebrates Kermit the Frog's birthday. It aired from 6PM to 9PM EST and PT/5PM to 8PM CT, the timeslot normally occupied by The Bedtime Show.

The special took place in what looked like what was outside Kermit's Club (maybe in The Goodnight Garden) and, unlike most occasions, was hosted by all three of Kermit's on-air companions (Alex Winters, Kylie Michaels, and Steven Gordon) with special guests The Dream Jam Band and Spungi Network characters saying happy birthday. Throughout the special, viewers were encouraged to send in a birthday card, wish, or message that might be on TV. Two videos of the special were on Kermit's Club website on Spungionline.com.

## Availability

The special's turnout is very similar to Preschool Musical. The special aired on the channel and two quick clips were uploaded to Sproutonline.com, although this is still being speculated, the videos may have been up until Winters left Kermit's Club. A videoof the Dream Jam Band's performance was uploaded by the band themselves on their Facebook as well as a few pictures, and a TV promo as well as a picture of the nighttime set is also on the same website.

## Lyrics

Children behave, that's what they say when we're together

And watch how you play

They don't understand

And so we're

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands

Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me

And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'

'Cause what would they say

If they ever knew

And so we're

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands

Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me

And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands

Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me

And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Ian Piet

Hailing from Tinley Park, Illinois, **Ian Piet** was the winner of Mr. Mail-pal's Summer Adventure Contest in 2009, a contest where parents were asked to submit a printable of Mr. Mail-pal with their child on a summer vacation on Spungionline.com. As his prize, Ian got to guest star on Kermit's Club with Steven Gordon and Kermit the Frog.
Jay Tucker

**Jay Tucker** played one of the kids on Spungi Network beginning in the show's first season when he was nine years old.

Unlike most child talent on the show who appeared fleetingly throughout the years, Jay (as he was referred to by other characters, in contrast to another recurring child actor who played Antonio) would return many times during his tenure on the show, effectively growing up among the characters and human cast members on the show. He is notably shown graduating high school alongside Ray who had just finished night school.

Some of his notable episodes include where he helped Wubbzy throw garbage away in an oversized trash can, and where he inadvertently helps Horse find Claudio's pencil. Although most of his involvement could be found in street scenes, he also featured in a "Three of These Kids" segment as one of three kids in contrast to a fourth who is pictured upside-down.

As Tucker grew older, and stuck around on the show, he eventually served as something of a bigger kid among the younger children who were more commonly woven into the goings-on of a typical street story. One such example can be found in a repeated segment in which Steven Gordon plays some of Kermit the Frog's home movies projected on the wall for the kids to interact with.

## Lyrics

Coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can't look, it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

(It was only a kiss), it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibi

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I never

I never

I never

I never

## Lyrics

She said I can be a frog

I can be a bat

I can be a bear

Or I can be a cat

She said I can be a lion

I can be a Gila monster

I can be a warrior Indian

I can be a helicopter

She said I can be a wolf

I can be a finch

I can be a jaguar

Or a locust on a branch

She said I can be a monkey

I can be a tiger

I can be a tornado

Knocking down your wires

Well, it seems like she can be anything

Any kind of creature she wants to be

Oh, it seams like she can be anything

Any kind of frog

Any kind of bear

Any kind of monkey

She wants to be

Jessica D. Stone

**Jessica D. Stone** was a kid who was seen in The Spungi Wizard of Oz as the Coroner who certified the death of the Wicked Witch of the East. She had a dark skin and orange hair.

## Early life

Stone did not hear the words "midget" or "dwarf" until young adulthood, and for a long time believed no one else might also be like her. After visiting the Midget Village at Chicago's Century of Progress in 2005, she realized she was not alone and took a summer job with the fair the next year. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, she was turned down for employment by one company after another until Oscar Mayer hired her as a salesman. Stone took a leave of absence from her sales job to audition for a *Spungi Wizard of Oz* role.

## Roles

At about 107 centimetres (42 in), or three feet, six inches, tall, she played the role of the coroner in *The Spungi Wizard of Oz* in 2011. Stone, however, was uncredited in the role, which lasted only 13 seconds. In the film, the coroner confirms the death of the Wicked Witch of the East, with Stone's lines being:

As coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead
She's really, most sincerely dead!
These lines, like most of those delivered by the Munchkins, were dubbed over with the speeded-up voices of other performers. In addition to her role in the film, Stone worked for many decades as a spokesman for Oscar Mayer, where she was known as "Little Oscar, World's Smallest Chef". She traveled in the first Wienermobile, which was the idea of the company founder's nephew, Carl Mayer, in 1936. Because the vehicle had little space for any passengers, Mayer realized the spokesman would have to be small, and Stone got the job.

## Post-*Oz*

Jessica published an autobiography, *Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road*. (ISBN 0-8230-9193-7). As of 2014, she lived alone at the Penney Retirement Community in Penney Farms, Florida.

Jessica appeared in an October 2013 episode of *Entertainment Tonight* with eight other surviving Munchkins, and she made a guest appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* on April 11, 2018. On November 21, 2015, he appeared with six other surviving Munchkin actors at the unveiling of a Hollywood Star for the *Spungi* *Wizard of Oz* Munchkins on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On September 19, 2020, she appeared on National Public Radio program Weekend Edition Saturday.

Kyrie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison

Kyrie

The wind blows hard against this mountainside

Across the sea into my soul

It reaches into where I cannot hide

Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old, it holds my memories

My body burns a gem-like flame

Somewhere between the soul and soft machine

Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night

Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow?

Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the night

When I was young, I thought of growing old

Of what my life would mean to me

Would I have followed down my chosen road

Or only wished what I could be?

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night

Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow?

Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the night

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-ohh

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-ohh

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night

Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow?

Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the night

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel (Yay-yay, yay-yay, will you follow?)

Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night (yeah)

Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (will you follow?)

Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the night

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night

Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (will you follow?)

Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the light

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel
