    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    And I can still easily imagine Karen Prell as Leader, Kathy Mullen as middle and Louise Gold as nervous on the end performing our "remake" with no problems at all. :D

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Come to think of it I wonder what any of the surviving muppeteer team would think of this entire thread. Let alone our latest accomplishment. ;)

    Yes I'm sure as well. :)

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    BTW I'd also like to thank you for the couple of parts in which you really contributed Caroline. Your ideas for the extra-nervous piggy and the vigorous belting out of the song when the last piggy didn't fall really inspired me to think hard about the whole concept. We really do make an...

    Thanks Caroline. I'm delighted that you appreciate them. :D

    I think we deserve three big cheers. Don't you agree? Hip Hip HooVal-de-aaaaaahhhhh! Hip Hip HooVal-de-aaaaaahhhhh! Hip Hip HooVal-de-aaaaaahhhhh! :excited: :)

    Should Sesame Street continue after season 40?

    You're quite welcome heralde. And that's a relevant point you've brought up. Perhaps the producers are hoping to present the show in such a way that in theory the next Sesame Street generation can carry the series on further. Well who knows. Nothing ventured. Nothing gained.:)

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Glad you both like it so far my dear friends and now here's the final part. Naturally it would be impossible to actually show tears running down the last piggy's face but the performer could make noises to at least suggest crying. I figured after seeing what happened to her companions the last...

    Should Sesame Street continue after season 40?

    I agree with William that we need to talk to each other more conversationally. I did try to state my points and feelings very clearly as you can see in my own post that I've quoted. If people would reply to me personally about what I've said asking me questions and/or giving their own opinions...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    And for the chorus of the second verse the leader lady could make a bit more of a show holding up the rope gently tugging on it to verify that it's firm and secure. The middle lady perhaps could nod vigorously at it like the male piggy and give a slight relieved sounding laugh just before...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Yes to think about them specifically trying to watch where they are putting their feet on the mountain certainly does add to the humour of it eh? :D

    Best of luck Snowths. :)

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Thanks Caroline. And I like what you said to me awhile ago that muppet females may be the exception to the norm. ;) I'm sure you agree with me that if the lady piggies didn't specifically use the "Watch your step" line in place of simply "Be careful" it wouldn't sound anywhere near as funny...

    Should Sesame Street continue after season 40?

    Well there are arguments for and against the end of Sesame Street naturally. On the one hand I do agree that it would be sad to see it end after all the joy and education it's given to kiddies (and some adults:) ) over its nearly 40 years. Then again as pointed out the cast members and the...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    The reactions of the other ladies should basically be the same, but to make it a bit more hysterical I think they should look at each other and replace the "Uh oh" with an "Oh dear" instead. I'm sure if they said that it would sound far more distraught than "Uh oh". And the leader lady should do...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Having watched the clip again I think the female version would work with like you said Caroline, the one on the end looking down the mountain even more during the first verse seeming even more nervous than the one in the male version. She should be looking down almost straight from the beginning...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    I have some other ideas in addition to what I had before and what Caroline added in this reply I've quoted which I'll share soon. But I thought I'd share as a by the way that I think perhaps part of my inspiration for my idea may have been the novelty of the phrase "Watch your step" involving...

    HAHAHA!!! That is a hilarious scenario indeed William. :D

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    I also agree with Caroline that maybe if it was more dramatic it could work successfully and I have had more thoughts regarding it and I thought I'd share some of those ideas in our further discussion.
