The actual name of the song is "Follow Me," sung by "Uncle" Traveling Matt and Gobo from Fraggle Rock. I know one of the posters around here (I believe it's Warrick) has the mp3 of that song on his FR website.

Well, I know there was the "Follow Me" that was commercially released..this differed from the version that was on Fraggle Rock's premiere episode "Beginnings." Then there was the song "Follow You," which was in the same tune, sung by Gobo's nephew (as in it was the progression of explorer uncles in Gobo's family). Thats all the ones I know.

The Matt Heap has spoken! Nyaaahh!!

FR songs re-hashed

Also, Cotterpin's "The Way I've Got To Go" is a song actually sung by Mokey first---in the episode where Gobo goes to look for Uncle Matt. Mokey's song is called "Kick A Stone", and then Cotterpin's song (same music, different lyrics) came later.

I think it's so interesting when that happens with a song in the series...
