At least I think it was Smiley; if not it was a character based on his puppet. At any rate, I remember him crooning in various seasonal setting about how he "loves you in springtime/summer/etc." (he looked, well, unusual in the bathing suit they had him wear at the beach for the summer version). At the end, for some strange reason, they started editing faster and faster between each season (like a book's pages being turned), accompanied by Smiley whimpering as if he's having a panic attack each time. Does anyone else remember it?

I've seen that sketch, all right; the puppet even sings the way Guy sings his song full of E-words in the Letter of the Day Pageant. The extra-fast seasonal changes do drive him crazy at the end of the other sketch, turning his singing voice into a half-sob. One thing I wonder about Guy's musical sketches, though: why do his lyrics usually contain so many "grown-up" words that a kid would have trouble following most of the song?
