"All Around the World" Lyrics

[anathema]

Wow... I didn't realize the UK Fraggle Rock album contained additional tracks. This is the first time I had head about this. I assume we're both talking about the 1983 LP, but just the UK version contains new material, right?

Yes, it's the same one. It uses the standard picture of the Fraggle Five on the front rather than the artwork of the US release, and it's in a gatefold sleeve with pictures of various characters on the insides. "Workin'" is the last track on side one, and "Travelling Matt" is the first track on side two. It appears that the "Fraggle Rock Theme" is a different recording, too.

Alex, do you by chance have the extra UK tracks in digital form. I'd like to check them out for Muppet Central Radio.

Watch this space...

Some minor corrections (in addition to Byron's - but, sorry dude, it's not "thunderin' and lightnin'"...I don't know what it is, but it's not that ;-)

From Outer Space it's very clear to me/
(I got another card from Uncle Matt!)/
A Fraggle must go to meet his destiny/
(I wish I could be as brave as that!)/
You're as brainy as your Uncle Matt!/

You're as crazy as your Uncle Matt!

Around the universe/
Exploring every mile/
My mind often turns back to Fraggle Rock/
I'm marching on with a smile/
All around the world/
(When you're in an argument a feudin and a fightin'/

I can't work this line out yet, but the above is definitely wrong!

There is no better place/
(Wishin and a shoutin' when you only need some lovin')/

(Pushin' and a-shovin' when we only need some lovin')

We'll all be here livin' in Fraggle Rock.../
You need to be out in space!/[/B]

We're lucky we're livin' in Fraggle Rock/
Who needs to be out in space?

It's hard to believe it when I look around/
(I wonder what it's like in outer space!)/
A culture like ours is nowhere to be found/
(What's it like to be in another place?)/
Does he ever see a friendly face?/

Around the universe/
Exploring every mile/
My mind often turns back to Fraggle Rock/
I'm marching on with a smile/
All around the world/
(When you're in an argument a feudin and a fightin')/

I can't work this line out yet, but the above is definitely wrong!

There is no better place/
(Wishin and a shoutin' when you only need some lovin')/

(Pushin' and a-shovin' when we only need some lovin')

We'll all be here livin' in Fraggle Rock.../
You need to be out in space!/[/B]

We're lucky we're livin' in Fraggle Rock/
Who needs to be out in space?

Gobo my boy, there's so much to explore!/
One of these days I'll do the same.../
Follow the light and make it through the door/
(It's hard to believe you're as dumb as that!)/
I'm as crazy as my Uncle Matt!/

Around the universe/
Exploring every mile/
Your mind often turns back to Fraggle Rock/
You're marching on with a smile/
All around the world/
(When you're in an argument a feudin and a fightin')/

I can't work this line out yet, but the above is definitely wrong!

A slight correction There are two different recordings of the song. The one from the single does feature this lyric. The one from the album (which is what I was listening to) has a different line, but I can't make all the words out...

It appears that the "Fraggle Rock Theme" is a different recording, too.

By that do you mean that the UK release has the Captain instead of Doc?

No, it has neither. All the rest of the dialogue (and Sprocket's barking) is still there, but Gerry Parks' line is gone, and the musical arrangement is very different...

A New Question About The Song In Question

I recently had a friend of mine burn my fraggle LPs onto CD so I'm now able to hear " Around the world/universe " or " Traveling Matt " ( as they call it on the album ) and I have a question of sorts. Okay, towards the end of the song after Gobo says he's as crazy as his Uncle Matt & they all giggle, you can hear him, Wembley & possibly Red, Mokey & Boober kinda singing over the rest of the fraggles when they start the refrain. One of the fraggles sings the word " Fraggle Rock " a bit louder than the rest and I'm trying to figure out if it's Gobo or Wembley. I've blasted the song in my car a few times but I just can't figure it out. Any help?

Thanks,

Nick

I'd say Gobo. It dosen't have the scratchynes that is Wembly.

So, this song wes never on any eps eh? I love it! It's so 80s.
