I don't know, actually. I thought it was "A Cup of Tea, a Cookie, and You" because when I first heard it, that line was sung by Witch Hazel in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Later I recalled that Groucho mentioned the song, "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You", but I thought his was the made-up title...
Who performed these characters?
-ghosts: Richard and Louise in the cold opening, Steve in the opening number (Wembley/Rizzo voice) and Fozzie's monologue (in sort of a Murray the Minstrel voice), Kathy in Vet's Hospital (for a 'boy meets ghoul' joke, following on from a line from Peter at the...
All of them: purple, green, red, blue-green, gray, and green-pink.
-Purple: lead spy in Roger Moore ep. (Jerry Nelson); "You know what sea monsters eat?" in Carol Burnett episode (Frank Oz)
-Green: one of the spies in Roger Moore ep; dancing partner of purple in Carol Burnett episode (Richard...

Lyrics (with song clip links, where applicable):
Play That Funky Music (White Boy)
Hey do it now
yeah hey
Yeah,
There was a funky singer
Playin' in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me,
yeah
Got to...
Season Five Frackles plus Uncle Deadly, Sweetums, DogLion, and Timmy Monster.
Yes.
The Season 5 Frackles.
Vincent Price.
New character.
So, what'd you think of the outline?

Finally filled in the gaps of this one. Like the Jim Croce outline, I got the show order down in August while visiting my grandparents, but unlike the Croce one, this one didn't have a plot already attached. I just finished this one less than an hour ago.
Peter Lorre, 12/22/05
David...
Just in time for Christmas, a Halloween episode!
For those unfamiliar with Lorre, he was a legendary horror movie actor on par with the likes of Vincent Price. Before becoming a regular fixture of the horror genre, he was known as an oddball sort of character actor, featuring in such classics...
Another slight edit:
Change the last line to: "Not to worry- the Swedish Chef will spoil it before they even get here."
Or something to that effect. Wording is such an exacting task.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
There are a handful of Sesame Street clips that I'm having a hard time finding. When I don't know titles, I'll describe them in detail.
-A purple soprano (Richard Hunt) sings F-AN, eventually spelling fan, to which a male Whatnot (Frank Oz) calls "Bring in the fan!" (which then blows her wig...
Well, I've seen what Mills and Robertson look like. Robertson appears in the special when he's suiting up to play Pa Gorg. Vanderburg was on the show in Season One, don't know about subsequent seasons.
It could be one of the late-arriving puppeteers, like Mike Petersen or Frank Meschkuleit...
At the beginning of the behind-the-scenes special "Down at Fraggle Rock", during the filming of "The Rock Goes On" from the episode "The Honk of Honks", there is a prominently seen background puppeteer performing one of the Inkspots (the little bulgy-eyed background singer characters, also seen...
In her interview on MC, Karen said that Steve Whitmire performed Red in the episode "Red's Club" while she was out with I believe an injured hand. But does anyone else notice how the only character whose voice is out of synch with his lip movements is Boober? Was Dave performing Wembley while...
That supposed to be anything like a lemon meringue pie?
Thought of a few more, listening to "Pantry Chant" in "You Can't Do That Without a Hat":
-pears
-chicken chop suey (again, where are the chickens and how do they know of chop suey? early anachronism I guess)
-stroganoff (this is...
I forgot the milk? Dang.
Y'know, I gotta wonder where Fraggles get milk from. They don't have cows, right? So what animal produces the milk, and who collects it?
I must not have that episode.
This is kinda neat. I almost feel like writing a fake Fraggle Rock recipe. Almost.
David...
Probably a little like the carrot but less posh. Truthfully I arrived at Friedman b/c I couldn't imagine any of the main five guys singing it- I hadn't played it out in my mind audially.
Also, I mis-wrote the backstage bit in the opening (I basically made it up on the spot- can't believe I...
YouKnow Bird- Richard
Whatnot- Peter Friedman
Gorgon- Dave
Big Mama- Richard
Gorgon & Big Mama don't say much tho, they probably just laugh at the punchline, if even that.
I can't believe I forgot to do the opening. I knew I should've waited to post this outline, figures that in the...
... Or, "Occasion of the Body Switchers". This was an idea I always wanted to do, sort of an expansion of what they did in "Pigs in Space" on the Harry Belafonte episode (I think I came up with my idea before I saw that).
Jim Croce, for those who don't recognize the name, was a recording...
