I hope that I can get around to a 1980s (and a 1990s, and a 200s) music show soon.

Hey, for those who liked this fan fiction, and want to see a 1980s music show, I plan on posting a 1980s show tomorrow morning. I have a good idea of what I want to include, but I would like some suggestions from you guys.

First of all, I am having trouble thinking up animated and film songs from the 1980s. I think that I Can Do it By Myself, Don't Waste Water, and Splish Splash are all from the 1980s, but does anybody know for sure? It's been a long time since I've last seen any of those, so I only have my memories as to what the film quality looked like (and sometimes it's hard to tell if a film was made in 1969 or the 1970s, whether one was made in the 1970s or 1980s, whether it's from the 1980s or 1990s, etc).

I plan on including a song with Chris and the Alphabeats. But which one should I include? I know that the following songs from the group are from the 1980s:
You're Alive
Rock 'N Roll Reader
Raise Your Hand

I am unsure about Go, Baby, Go and Cluck Around the Clock.

Also, which 1980s Rubber Duckie song sould I include? Choices are Do De Rubber Duck, Put Down the Duckie, D-U-C-K-I-E, and The Honker Duckie Dinger Jambouree.

And what 1980s Kermit song should I include? I am thinking of inclding either If I Were, The Frogs in the Glen, I Love My Elbows, Tadpole, Carribean Amphibean, Bayou Alphabet, On My Pond, or I Wonder About the World Above Up There (I would also like to include It's Alive, but I don't know if that song is from the 1980s or 1990). I know that there are others that I didn't mention (Do Op Hop, African Alphabet), but I don't really care much for those songs.

Which Forgetful Jones song should I include: We're Real Cowboys or Write it Down?

And are there any songs with Oscar the Grouch that are from the 1980s, besides Just the Way You Are?

 

[Erine81981]

I think with Ernie's song it should be "D-U-C-K-I-E"

Kermit's i would have to say the "Bayou Alphabet" and "It's Alive"

I really don't know but there is one song called "Alone in the Swamp with You" might be an 80's song can't remember.

But that's about all i can think of right now. Maybe more later on if i can think.

I just realised a stupid mistake that I made. I had Cookie Monster request a song about breakfast, and got C is for Cookie. I had meant to include Breakfast Time instead. And I mistakenly listed I Just Adore Four twice in a row. Oh crud!

Here is a special edition of my script, correcting spelling errors and correcting some of my previous mistakes.

Ernie: Me too, Bert.
Bert: So long and good bye!

(Ernie and Bert wave their hands as the credits roll. They start to have a conversation, which we can't hear. The 1970s closing theme plays, ending with the disco music heard during the copyright credits on early shows)
