What year was the reggae "Do the Rubber Duck?" in which he did both Kermit and Ernie shot?

 

[mikebennidict]

1987 or 88 or at least that was the 1st time I saw it.

Actually, I always think of "Have You Ever Looked at a Paper Clip" as one of Henson's last performances as . Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but didn't that come out some time in the late 80s before Henson's passing?

Speaking of I Wonder About the World Above Up There, in the booklet for the album Jim Henson: A Sesame Street Celebration, the song is listed with a 1988 copyright, but then I was glancing at the book "it's Not easy Being Green" at a store, and saw some copyright credits for various quotes, and that song was given a 1990 copyright credit. Which is the correct copyright?

His last Sesame Street live show was "The Sleeping Birdie," although I'm not sure exactly when his Ernie vocals for it were taped.
