That is great about the quilt!
Ok, my birthday has finally come and gone! And it was a very good one. Plus, I finally did manage to get a hold of that elusive Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets!
It is truly one of the most adorable Muppet projects I've seen. And it's practically a love letter to Scooter, which also rocks. I'll try to separate them by segment.
1. As I mentioned earlier, the show opens with Scooter at a desk with his scrapbook of Muppet Show memories. The first song he introduces is "Octopus' Garden", sung by Robin.
Kermit: The song was great!
Scooter: Yeah, but you were all wet! Lolol (He sort of sounded like a very young Statler there. Perhaps JP Grosse isn't the only relative Scooter has in the theater!)
Kermit: ...cute joke.
Scooter: Mmm hmm!
2. "I'm Five", again sung by Robin.
Scooter: Well, Robin's five! ::boastfully:: Personally I'm A LOT older than that! And John Denver's grandmother, who knows how old she is!" (Obviously this was followed by "Grandma's Feather Bed!")
Things go pretty standard for awhile...
3. Scooter: For all you young music lovers, here's some very young music!
Bobby Benson and his All Baby Band plays their song
Scooter: I know, I know! (Of course, that's BB's catchphrase, normally perfomred by Richard!)
4. Scooter calls "The King's Breakfast" poem one of his favorites. Then Rowlf introduces a poem. Scooter says, "Nice poem? Gee I hope it fits in!"
But things slowly begin to go awry. Scooter continually tries to introduce his "personal favorite" song. So named "because I sing it." But unfortunately, he's continually interrupted by other characters.
5. Kermit first interrupts Scooter, asking him to show The Muppet Show's tribute to Alice in Wonderland. Scooter's a little confused and put off but he agrees.
Scooter: Wha...right now? ...Well sure, why not?!"
6. Afterward, Kermit thanks Scooter and leaves.
Scooter: Sure thing, boss! And now, ::annoyed:: as I said before, my personal favorite song because I sing it...!
7. BUT, he's interrupted by Rowlf again, asking to hear Somwhere Over the Rainbow, sung yet again by Robin.
Scooter: Somewhere Over the Rainbow? But I thought...
Rowlf: Somewhere Over the Rainbow!
Scooter: Allright, Somewhere Over the Rainbow! ::dryly:: By Robin...(starting to notice some Robin hostility yet?)
8. Following SoR...
Scooter: Very nice, but now!
Two mild mannered fish swim by. A growingly frustrated Scooter gives into yet another interruption (though not without a little playfulness)
Fish: But Scooter, what about friendship?
Scooter: What about friendship?
Fish: Do the song, Scooter!
Scooter: I thought I was doing my song...
Fish: Be a friend! Show the clip?
Scooter: Show the clip?
Fish: Yes, show the clip! ::gurgle gurgle::
Scooter: Alright...::gurgle gurgle::
9. Following Kermit and Robin's duet "Friendship"...
Scooter: Swell! Ok, fish?
Fish: Ok! ::gurgle gurgle:: (They leave)
Scooter: Alright! ::gurgle gurgle::
10. Scooter tries one more time to introduce his song
Scooter: And now! ::looks from side to side:: the one, the only...Swedish Chef???!
Swedish Chef: ::typical mock Swedish::
Scooter: Uh I don't understand anything you're saying!
Swedish Chef: ::more mock Swedish::
Scooter figures out what song the chef wants and relucantly agrees. The chef starts hugging him
Scooter: That tickles!!
11. Following Four Legged Friend
Scooter: That's a horse of a different color! And now! ::talks faster:: My personal favorite because I sing it.....!
And he's interrupted AGAIN, this time by Waldor (of all people heh). Poor Scooter lets out a very sad moan (Awwww).
Waldorf: Young man, young man! You should play Inchworm! It's very educational. Four plus four makes zero and all!
Scooter: Uh...
Waldorf: Oh no wait
Scooter: No no, let's let the kids figure it out!
12. Finally, the special's almost over. And Scooter's no closer to introducing his song.
Scooter: Well that's almost the end...
Kermit: Hey, you know what song you should do?
Scooter: No...::head down::
Kermit: It's that song of yours, it used to be your personal favorite!
Scooter: ::looks away:: Oh, nobody wants to hear that!
Kermit: Well, I do!
Scooter: ::looks back:: You do?!
Kermit: Sure, it's GREAT! ::doing that arm gesture Scooter always done::
Scooter: It IS great! And it's my personal favorite!
Kermit: Oh good! And now, the one, the only, Six String Orchestra, sung by Scooter!
Both: Great!!! ::with arm gesture::
13. Halfway Down the Stairs
Following Six String Orchestra, all is right with the world once again.
Scooter: Thanks, boss! And I have a good song to end on, ::tenderly:: it's by Kermit's nephew Robin! (Aww)
Phew! That was a lot of typing! Hehe, after viewing the special, I've decided it should have been subtitled "Scooter's Older Child Syndrome!" Here, Scooter goes through all the various stages of the insecure syndrome.
He begins by happily boasting about how much older and more mature he is than his younger relative (in this case, Robin). After all, he WAS chosen by Kermit to host the special! He's a grown up with responsibilities and he's proud! He even attempts to make a joke at his boss' expense ("You were all wet!"), proving that he's one of the guys!
But soon, he grows jealous and resentful, when he realizes cute little Robin is getting all the attention from the grown ups. He's no longer the proud grown up, but an insecure little boy wondering why no one wants to watch him anymore.
Finally the parental figure, Kermit, comes to the rescue. He warmly insists Scooter do his "personal favorite" song, because he'd love to hear it. Kermit assures Scooter he is still important and loved. Feeling secure once again, Scooter has no problem introducing little Robin's final number.
Well, I hope that was interesting and entertaining for everyone. I'm really glad I was able to find it. And especially glad I was able to share it will all of you. I'd definitely give it five GREATS! of my own.
