No problem! Placido Flamingo makes a telephone call sound adorable and fun at the same time!

As long as he keeps his phone calls to Maria down to a minimum, hehe

You should've seen his performance of Upstairs and Downstairs, accompanied by a guest starring role turned in by Ernie (still Jim at that that time). And of course, his operetta Peligro rully brought the house down.

Yeah I've heard of the Up and Down one, I hope I get to see that eventually!
Oh and the phone call sketch is also great for all its in jokes about the opera world! As usual, Sesame Street used jokes that paid off for kids later in life.
Oh my...lol...I was listening to MC radio the other day, and a song came on from the old SS album "The Sesame Street Monsters." This was the last song on the record, "Be Kind to your Neighborhood Monsters." It's a very sweet song, Grover sings about how Herry can't help being so clumsy, Cookie can't help eating so many cookies, and (of course) Grover can't help being so cute! Basically the point of the song was that monsters may seem scary and different, but that doesn't mean they'll hurt you. I always loved that lesson on SS, to face your fears and not automatically be afraid of differences.
Anyway, the song goes on, very touching, all the characters singing together and being kind to monsters. It finally comes to a pleasant end when suddenly a menacing (and strangely familar) voice pops up, laughing loudly and yelling "YEAH, BE NICE TO ME! BE NICE TO ME!" Completely shattering the sentimentality of the moment (though I'm sure his heart was in the right place). Sound like anyone we know? Lol

Never! I can't imagine anyone who would be so perfect for something like that!
That is really great. It sounds like such an adorable, sweet, and extremely fun (at the end, hehe) song! I really wish I could hear it someday. And it's so true, what an important and really great lesson that is presented in that song as well. It is important to face your fears, to be strong, and to learn that maybe unfamiliar things aren't so scary after all. Such a wonderful way to learn that lesson, too!
