I just heard the Mike Pecoriello song and darn me if it's just not the cutest thing I've heard in a while.

Googling came up with nada. Where can I purchase me a copy?


PS: Here's casting my vote for an MC Radio subsection of the forum.

Hi Scott,

The song "Big Bird Oh Big Bird" was played on Noggin before or after Sesame Street Unpaved shows.

Mike Pecoriello, a former Noggin producer, wrote and sings the song. What's cool is that the video footage shown during the song is actual home video of his brother as a young boy and his niece and nephew.

Glad you continue to enjoy Muppet Central Radio! It's a lot of work, but I try to keep it fresh and timely for everyone.

Well the song's just adorable. He should produce an entire album so I can buy it :smile:

I agree it's a wonderful piece. You can tell it comes from the heart. Those are always some of the best performances (like Luke Ski's "Who Let the Frog Out" and the Princeton Nassoon's "Muppet Medley").

I don't think Mike's working at Noggin anymore. No idea what he's doing now though.
