So, there are two different versions of the song - but I don't remember who (or, more correctly, what) sang the pah-tee pateepee version. Anybody know?

BTW, the two cow-like creatures singing the Doo Doo Doo (heh heh, I said "doo doo") are called Snowths.

If anyone's interested in a copy, I have the original Umiliani version

I thought it was "doo doo" and another one that went "di de" or something like that. I remember reading those lyrics on a cd. (Oh, by the way Fozzie, I love your avatar!

If someone says "Phenomenon" i would expect anyone to answer "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo".

Yeah...you're right, Warrick. I was very annoyed when, after that sketch with Ms. Bullock became popular, that everyone in my theatre company thought the song was entitled "phenomenon". And that became a popular joke amongst many people.

Of course...I knew better and brought my Muppet Hits CD into the green room to set the record straight...and someone stole it and I've never seen it since.

That was 5 years ago.

Alas.

The Sesame/ Ed Sullivan appearences were Pa tee puh teepee, like the original song and TMS used the Doo doo doo doo doo one, making it sound more like a Vaudeville soft shoe number...

Following would be the Sesame Street version

Well it's on one of my original Muppet Show vinyl albums and it still gets a whirl every now and then.
