Noticed a possible mistake - the LP version of "Lady of Spain" was played on MC Radio a couple of minutes ago. This was billed as simply "Lady of Spain", but the actual track listing as given on the back cover of the LP is Marvin Suggs and His Muppaphone Play "Lady of Spain".

The reason they seem slow is because...well, they *are* slow; by that I mean that their tempos are slow. Belafonte is more of a calypso-style singer, so his songs are always going to be more slower and ballad-like than some of the more contemporary songs that were being recorded at the time...

The cover is (probably) the clincher - they've simply re-used the cover of (I think) the very first VHS release of this story.

Spotted another mistake with regards to the titles of songs. You've just been playing Miss Piggy singing "On a Slow Boat to China" from the Roger Moore episode of TMS. According to Wikipedia, the full title is "(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China".

That doesn't mean anything; it wasn't uncommon for performers to play other characters even if they didn't voice them in that particular song or sketch.

Actually *both* of those are myths. The exact reason why Jim gave his most famous Muppet that name are not entirely clear. Read the entry on Muppet Wiki for more info.

The episode cuts had nothing to do with budgetting issues and certainly had no connection with the Morsels either - I'm uncertain as to where you got that idea from. As for them being irrelevant and not being on topic, that's also wrong as they pointed out the origins of the various jokes...

Off-hand I can't remember it but it was from an album called Songs For Kids (or something like that). When I entered the forum, the picture had changed to a shot of the TMS cast c.1978.

Something strange is going on here - when I first "arrived" at the main Muppet Central page, the proposed cover of TMS Season Three was showing as the "album" from where the current track being played on Muppet Central Radio was from. However, the particular track is not from TMS but instead a...

It's from TMS; Dr. Teeth is playing the song "Poison Ivy" onstage and when he gets to the chorus, Poison Ivy comes creeping out of his piano and "strangles" him.

I presume you're referring to the English version of Fraggle Rock, which I'm certain *won't* be released on DVD. Only the North America/Canda version is available on DVD.

It's not; it's pointed out in the notes that "Wishing Song" (which is on the CD) was composed by Paul Tracy, and that on TMS they used some of his other songs including "Ugly", "Dog Walk" and "Something's Missing".

I suspect that one of the problems they have is trying to get the rights to some of the (potential) archive material may not be achievable; remember TMS was an ATV production not a Disney production and so trying to get access to material from the UK (if it still exists) may be an impossibility...

I noticed that MC Radio was playing a song called "There are Millions of us Who Are Ugly"; my understanding (from the liner notes of the TMS 25th Anniversary CD) is that the song is simply called "Ugly".

As I have stated previously, this does not sound like any Muppet Show sketch that I know of. I've seen all 120 episodes of TMS and I am confident that what you are describing never happened. You are either confusing TMS with another show or more likely have amalgamated two sketches into one...

Well whatever it was, I think it's safe to say it wasn't from The Muppet Show. Nope.

None of The Muppet Movie was filmed in the UK; it was all filmed in the US. The Great Muppet Caper, on the other hand, was filmed entirely in London at the Elstree Film Studios.

What kind of nonsensical post is this? I seem to recall that there were similar posts last year along these lines as well concerning the second season set.

Thinking about this some more, it could be that the original poster is thinking of the "Comedy Tonight" number from the Joel Grey episode.

That was "Chanson D'Amore" from the Rich Little episode. Louise Gold provides the vocals of the three Whatnots in question.
