Favorite AIR skits

[Xerus]

What are your favorite skits that talked about air?

One was where Mahna-Mahna was singing a neat song about air while 3 anything Muppets with punk hair kept popping in the screen shouting, "AIR!"

Some Jamaican anything Muppets singing a song about air while a strong wind was blowing everything away including their hats, a sailboat, "A yellow bird off the tree", the whole tree, and themselves.

Kermit interviews the Big Bad Wolf who just opened up a huffing and puffing school and teaches Kermit how to huff and puff with air. The result was a straw house getting blown down and the two monsters who lived there threatening to sue poor Kermit.

Air

This is a song,by Guy Smiley,I found on the site,Sesame Street Lyric Archives:

Listen up, America
We've got something great for you!
It's something you can feel and breathe and even see right through
It isn't something you can smell
Or taste or eat or see
And please don't send us money --
It's absolutely free

Oh yes, it's air, air, air
It's the bargain of the day
Air, air, air
Doesn't look like much but, hey!
It's handy when you're working
It's handy when you play
So get some air, air, air
It'll blow you right away!

Oh, you can breathe it with your mouth
Or you can breathe it through your nose
And when you take your shoes off, you can feel it on your toes
It isn't purple, green, or pink
Or red or white or blue
It's kind of hard to spot it, but
It's always there for you

No taste! No waste!
No tell tale smell, it's swell!
Oh yes, it's air air air
Send for your supply today
Air, air, air from Maine to Monterey
Americans just love it
They breathe it night and day
So get some air air air
It'll blow you right away!

I guess my favorite on this topic would have to be where Lefty sells a bottle of air to Ernie - bottle not included.

Thank you. And yes, I thought that flying song was so beautiful. It was like something that was written in Heaven.

you know this 1 is sort of interesting is considering this was 1969 and everybody was beginning to be concerned about air pollution and maybe as a result of this, henson and his staff came up with the idea about possibly people needing to by their own air. just a thought.

air for sale

Well even as we speak, you can go to Mexico City, where the air is even worse than the United States and go to bars for a hit of fresh air. No joke! Just like we have Starbucks, they have little shops where you can get a liter of fresh bottled air to breathe. No kidding! Tokyo has them too.

Like Pink Floyd sang way back in 1968 on their song "Point Me At the Sky"

And if you survive til 2005
I hope you're exceedingly thin
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people around you breathe in

That moment's here, folks!
