    Love songs

    Just to clarify: It's "Weird Al" Yankovic, not "Yankovich". (A common mistake with his name) Anyway, here's another love song, a classic tune by our ol' buddy Bert: I Want to Hold Your Ear (Spoken) "I know I'm an exciting, OK kinda guy. I once had a girlfriend. She went to pieces...

    Miss Piggy Appearance on "American Dad"

    Anyone else see "American Dad" tonight? Miss Piggy made an appearance (as a hovering vision) to one of Stan's school chums. The voice wasn't that bad. Kind of like the Piggy on "The Simpsons" when she was with Troy McClure. Convincing John

    The Origin of Bert's "Chick-A-Boom!"

    Hey everyone, You ever heard our ol' buddy Bert say (or sing) "Chick-A-Boom" while playing the drums (or more recently) an oatmeal box? Here's a Tough Pigs link that might help jog your memory: Bert Plays the Drums Well, I have a theory as to where that might've come from. Maybe Frank...

    Well, I guess it's officially over

    Hey, I always liked doing that, too! But this year, taking down the stuff was super easy. Here's why: Usually every year we put up our (fake) tree and load it full with the decorations and lights and all that stuff, but this year was different. This summer, we had two new (and very...

    Recommended Arm/Hand Exercises?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering about an aspect of puppetry that isn't discussed a whole lot, but it's still important. With Muppeteers and other puppeteers working with their arms in the air all day, are there certain exercises recommended to keep arms strong and hands nimble? Obviously...

    Musical Instruments?

    Anyone know where would be a good place to shop for musical instruments for puppets? I think this has been discussed before, and checking toy stores was suggested. I have checked, and either: a) they didn't have the instrument I was looking for b) I'm looking for realistic instruments...

    Foam cubes available at Wal-Mart Supercenters

    Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you know of an incredible find I made at a Wal-Mart Supercenter. I looked in the fabrics/crafts section, and near the "egg crate" foam mattresses, were these blocks of foam. The best part is, these things are about a foot square. Yep! Big cubes of foam! I...

    When will we Muppet fans say somthing?

    Oh no! Say it ain't so, Fozzie! Is there a recommended way of contacting them to let 'em know we want more Fraggle Rock? With some companies, phone calls work better, with others, emailing is a better choice. I love Fraggle Rock, and the first season DVD was done so beautifully. The...

    Luis's song "Escondido"

    I like it, too. That's why I wondered if anyone had the lyrics out there, and could help me out by translating some of it. My Spanish is pretty rusty, and I know by some of the words that the Spanish verses aren't merely translations of the English versions. For instance "la playa o por la...
