    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I think "Born this Way" is good, as is "Edge of Glory." But yeah, everything else is subpar. "Bad Romance" gets stuck in my head when I least expect it to (and when I least want it to).

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I'm listening to the album now for the first time, and Sir Elton really sounds good. His piano playing is even better than ever, and I hear some classical snippets sprinkled throughout, especially in his short "Dream" compositions. "Home Again," Take This Dirty Water," "New Fever Waltz,"...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    I like some of Smash Mouth's songs…"Walking on the Sun" was featured in a Mercury car commercial with Jill Wagner, the attractive chick who became the host of Wipeout. But I do recall "All Star" being in the first Shrek movie. Back on topic: I will never listen to anything by Yoko Ono. Sure...

    Awesome Janice moments

    Two moments from the Great Muppet Caper film: Remember when Janice sings her verse in the "Happiness Hotel" song? That's the only time I know of that a remotely impolite word was used in a Muppet song: "Still the management is cheerful, though the whole joint's gone to h*ll…" And when she's...

    "Baba O'Riley" by the Who…YESSSSSSSSS!!! Roger Daltrey's harmonica solo in this live version at the end just puts it over the top, in a good way. Love how Pete Townshend is flopping like a rag doll during the solo, and John Entwistle is like "I couldn't care less," despite playing awesome bass...

    Do you realize that this problem has been prevalent long before you were a member? Do you realize that the senior members have tried to be as diplomatic as possible by PRIVATELY messaging these younger people? Do you realize that nothing came out of it because the offenders ignored the advice...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    A few days ago, I saw someone in a park DRESSED AS SANTA CLAUS. I'm not kidding. I was pretty upset, because Christmas is already over-commercialized. It seems like every single business franchise breaks out the tinsel, elf hats, and candy canes immediately after Halloween. What's even worse is...

    To these five members: there's nothing wrong with wanting to contribute to the forum, I think that you just need to think a bit more deeply before you make your posts. Think about how everyone else on the forum will react to what you write. Your words are a reflection of who you are, and who...

    Sesame Characters Surviving Past Performers

    Yes, he's been in two new sketches this year: "Make It Fit" is a game show about shapes, while "The Waiting Game" is nothing more than a test of Cookie Monster's patience and self-control. These are great new skits, similar to the legendary Beat the Time shows back in the 1970s. They're both up...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    They could do a lot of Billy Joel songs, since both bands have the same instrumentation of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, and saxophone. Here's a list of old and new, hits and rarities that the Electric Mayhem could cover: "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" (cool drum part for Animal; Floyd on vocals)...

    Eric Benét: "Sometimes I Cry," "Never Want to Live Without You," and "Real Love." This guy is an incredible R&B singer.

    Sesame Characters Surviving Past Performers

    The thing is, the people at SW are always training new puppeteers. That's how Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Matt Vogel, and Ryan Dillon have been able to take over the characters that Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Kevin originated. The original puppeteers can't stay around forever, not even Caroll...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    YES!!! A true classic! I've loved EWF since elementary school. "Can't Hide Love," "That's the Way of the World," "Shining Star," "Reasons," "Fantasy," "Serpentine Fire," "Sing a Song," "Getaway," and "September" are all amazing songs. In a similar vein, this is the funky song I'm listening to...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    I think Floyd & Janice could do Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" with the rest of EM backing up. (But no Zoot sadly…)

    Singer: Jim Henson vs Steve Whitmire

    Steve has done a lot with Kermit and Ernie (not to mention Rizzo the Rat), and he is a great singer ("One More Sleep 'Til Christmas" from the Muppet Christmas Carol is one of Kermit's finest performances, in my opinion). But I'd say Jim was better because he was more versatile and also put more...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Plus, when it snows, Big Bird's nest area still gets wet. He probably has a shovel to dig out his toy chest, barrels, bags of birdseed, and everything else that's not tucked away safely. He must be freezing too, since he doesn't have four walls OR a roof surrounding him. And it must also be bad...

    Favorite Electric Mayhem songs?

    I just discovered "Rockin' All Around the World" from the Muppets at Walt Disney World special. That's a pretty good one, and it's probably one of the last Electric Mayhem songs that Jim and Richard sung on. And even Clifford joins the band for this one. He's a good character, but he doesn't...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    "Somebody to Love" by Queen. That gospel choir just sells the song for me. Especially in the a cappella section. "Find me…somebody to love…find me…somebody to love." (P.S. it's not an actual gospel choir…)

    What are you Thankful For?

    I am very thankful for everyone who has been able to contribute to my education and my overall development as a son, brother, grandson, nephew, friend, colleague, and human being. I feel like I am the black sheep of my family because no one else has pursued a career as a musician. It's very...
