Hey guys. I just watched the Chris Martin episode of Extras and they made a Muppet reference. Andy's agent was talking about the Crazy Frog song and then brought up Kermit and Robin. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I know he ended with "Halfway Up the Stairs. Good song." Haha! I'll see if I can transcribe it the next time I see it.

Wow, that's cool that they mentioned "Halfway up the Stairs"! I'm definitely surprised, thanks for sharing. :smile:

Am I wrong, or was there also a "Halfway Up The Stairs" reference on the original British version of "The Office" as well? I can't remember.

Cool reference. Isn't the song called "Halfway Down the Stairs," though?

Sha, it is. But still, what an awesomely obscure reference.

You're welcome, but just as well. Great reference. And yes, Prawnie, very obscure. I mean, it's not a very well known song unless you're a true Muppet Show fan.

They're also Brits and Music Hall songs were wicked popular there, right?

It's not THAT obscure, I mean, it was a top ten single in the UK!
