Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

I never knew it was just a regular skit until yesterday. In the past, I always thought it was a filmed version with Kermit in Ernie's place, or even recently from the trusted sources, I also thought there was a filmed version with Ernie and Professor Hastings. Welp, that screenshot debunks it.

Kermit replacing Ernie would be irrelevant because his name is literally mentioned in the beginning.

I see your point, but if they DID do a filmed version of the song with Kermit, there's a chance they'd rerecord the audio with Kermit's name mentioned in the beginning, given that Oz rerecorded Grover's dialogue+vocals in album versions of "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?".

Or they could have just cut the part where Ernie introduces himself by name and not have an introduction.

I don’t see that being likely. There’s music right at the very beginning and I think it’d be very awkward for the song to start off with “U is for underpass....”

Anyway, getting back on topic from a comment that was awkward and unecesarry to begin with:

I find it interesting that Moss seemed to be the “primary” voice for the lavender member by this song. Makes me curious to know if the songs Big Jeffy was in with the band would have had the lavender guy singing Moss’ bass sections.

Whenever that redhead AM appears in any kind of musical number, she sure does love whipping that long ponytail of hers around.

Maybe it’s just me, but whenI look at the front of Little Chrissy’s hair in that segment, it looks like it’s a little loose.

An early instance of Jeff Moss as the lavender Alphabeat (though I think he did one of them in Count It Higher), the voice sounds deeper and more like Big Jeffy than when he would do the character in Rock andRoll Readers and Cluck Around the Clock.

The green member rarely gets his own vocals, and they add a female member for a couple of street scenes, the two only sing together here but the female’s vocals really drown his out. I’d be willing to bet one of the shows songwriters (all of the others here are songwriters/vocalists).

I don’t even think the green guy had a voice. I’m pretty sure it was just Moss and Ivy providing backing vocals.

I wondered if that was the case here. In Rock & Roll Readers it's Paul Jacobs (though he doesn't sing any lines of his own there).

Paul’s voice is pretty distinctive there.

I think he was also in “I Go to School” and “Gonna Rock You to Sleep”
