In Search Of: Orange singing Carmen

Last night I had quite an odd dream. I dreamt of the orange with the rubber-band mouth singing Habanera from Carmen. I had completely forgotten about that skit since I last saw it some 20 years ago. And for some reason my subconscious felt the need to bring it to my attention. What does it mean?! Anyway, if anyone has any idea where I might be able to find video or pictures of that skit my twisted pshyche and I would be deeply indebted.

I've often wondered if Jim Henson was behind that clip.

It looks similar to the other stop-motion skits that Jim Henson produced, like "The King of 8", "The Queen of 6" and I believe, 12 rocks in the desert. Apart from anything else, it's funny, yet weird and kinda spooky. Very spooky, but in a good way.

I don't know if it was Jim, but isn't it plausible?

Any luck finding the Carmen orange clip? Could it be part of some Sesame Street collection? I had the same experience of it bubbling up from my childhood subconscious. Strange strange stuff.
