STATLER: "What's better, The 1st Season or the Second?"

WALDORF: "It gets better at each season."

(Leaves fall on S & W.)

(That's the end of this outline.)

What do you think of this?

 

[MartyMuppets]

It has great potential. It could be fleshed up a little. One thing I'm not too sure about is Wayne and Wanda. I'm not certain whether they would have sang Talk to the Animals.

I think it may be classified as a Rock song which Wayne and Wanda never tried to sing but please excuse me if I'm wrong.
Other than that it looks very great.
