Sesame Street Fanfic: Musical Moments

[dietrich]

Here’s a Sesame Street fanfic a based on the old Muppet videos that had old Muppet Show skits. I think it’s pretty good. It’s called: “Sesame Street’s Musical Moments” circa 1988.

Opening Scene: On Sesame Street, near Hooper’s Store camera pans down to a piano w/ a picture of Joe Raposo playing the Sesame Street theme played by Don Music. Next to the piano, Bob is standing.

Bob (looking to the camera): Oh, hi. Today on Sesame Street Don and me thought we’d play some of our favorite songs.

Don: Yes Bob. There have been so many magical, musical moments on Sesame Street. I don’t know where to begin. Why don’t we start with some friends of mine Little Jerry and the Monotones?

Bob: What song Don?

Don: The Telephone Rock!

Cut to clip of Telephone Rock. Back to the street scene.

Bob: I hope they were okay.

Don: Don’t worry Bob I posted bail for them. 10 dollars.

Bob: That high.

Suddenly Kermit in his trench coat comes on the scene looking disheveled

Kermitoff screen) Yeah same to you fella. (Suddenly notices Don and Bob) Oh hi Don, Bob. What are you guys doing?

Don: Well Bob and I are just playing our favorite songs.

Bob: Kermit are you all right?

Kermit: Yeah I just had a rough ride on the subway

Cut to clip of Subway. Back to the street scene.

Bob: That was a rough ride.

Kermit: Yeah

Don: Say Kermit were on assignment for Sesame Street News?

Kermit: Hmm? (As is only now noticing he’s wearing his trench coat) Oh yeah well I went to interview Old King Cole as an intrepid reporter. Here watch.

Cut to clip of News Flash: Old King Cole. Back to the street scene. Bob, Don, & Kermit are still enjoying the music.

Bob: Hey I really liked that.

Kermit: Yeah I feel a little better.

Don: Well music does that to you. So let’s keep our concert going with Chrissy & the Alphabeats. (To Bob) Their friends of mine too.

Cut the clip of Exit. Back to the street scene. Chrissy walks in.

Chrissy: Whew I thought I’d never get of there.

Bob: And with good timing Chrissy, because it’s time for our first guest star.

Don: Ladies and gentlemen Miss Judy Collins. (Kermit and Chirssy sound impressed)

Cut to clip of Fishermen Song immediately followed by A Song from Kermit. Back to the street scene.

Bob: Those were some nice songs.

Kermit: Yeah but they were a little sad.

Don: Well let’s raise the mood with Lord Nelson and the Laughing Gas.

Cut to clip of It’s Funny, Yes It’s Funny. Back to the street scene with Bob, Don, and Kermit all laughing.

Bob: (laughing) Oh that was funny.

Big Bird comes by roller-skating.

Big Bird: Hi Bob, Hi Kermit, Hi, Mr. Music. What’re doing?

Don: Well Big Bird we’re just playing some of our favorite songs.

Big Bird: Really? Can I please hear some roller-skating music?

Bob: I think I know the perfect song for you Big Bird.

Big Bird: Thank you (rolls away)

Bob: You’re welcome.

Don: Say Bob is there something weird in the sky?

Kermit: Yeah it looks like,

Bob: A capital I?

Bob: Well that was weird.

Kermit: Bob, that was nothing. I’ve seen boomerang fish acts, drummers that war their drums, and a guy eating a tire to the Flight of the Bumblebee. An I in the sky is nothing.

Bob: (Amazed) A guy eating a tire.

Kermit: To be honest we aren’t sure what he is.

Don: Well if you want weird I have a song for you.

Telly and Frazzle walk by

Telly: Oh Mr. Music, Frazzle was wondering if you’d play his favorite song.

Biff: Yo Don, could you give me and Sully some music to listen to while we finish this job over here? Me and Sully always work faster when there’s music we like. Right Sull? (before Sully can open his mouth) Yeah right. (Sully gives Biff a brief dirty look)

Don: I think I have just the song for you Biff.

Kermit: Well there’s Drive Your Car, Whistle, Whistle Little Bird. Hey why not Yellowstone Park?

Don: Oh no! Not that song.

Bob: Now Don, Kermit chose that song.

Cut to clip of Yellowstone Park. Back to the street scene with Don putting his head on the piano in embarrassment.

That was a good fan fic. It's a shame that it's been online for a year without any comments.
