Hi, I'm Superfan's friend and I have a quick question concerning a cartoon segment about the lower case letter n. The details as far as I can remember are that it took place in the outdoors, someone singing about it, and the n was levitating and floating through the setting.
Could someone clarify this for me please. I have to know that I'm not crazy; even a screenshot would be appreciated if possible.
Nice forum...maybe I'll come back.

In a cold and far-off place
There was a lower-case N.
Lonely and cold, she would stare off into space
And it was known that she would cry now and then.

Lower-case N, standing on a hill.
The wind is very still, for the lower-case eh-en...

(occasional, unearthly "oohs" in background now)

And then one day a rocketship
Came racing from the sky.
It landed on the hill and there opened up a door
And somethin' started comin' outside...

A lower-case N!
(She's not lonely anymo-o-re)
They are standing on the hill
(There are two that stand for su-u-ure)
The wind is very still
For the lower-case eh-ens!

The pink bunny in the background was pretty cool, plus the rocket ship-looking N was sweet. It was all very trippy, very 70s, and very awesome.

it was a folksy song, along the lines of the "capital I" ditty...very nicely done, all-time classic SS piece.


as for the levitation, there wasn't anything like that...just a lower-case n sitting on a hill, as the song goes....unless you're recalling the rocket ship bringing out another lower case n, before taking off into nothingness.


i've been scowering the web and file shares for a clip of this toon, but nothing doing. only place to see it again is to purchase one of those SS dvds on letters/numbers. it's likely a retired clip that won't run on SS again.
