Hey Guys,
Does anyone know who sings ''Fixin' My Hair'' ?

Its the one with the video of lots of people combing there hair, A man combs a goats beard and another man combs a pony's hair.


It sounds like Joe Raposo, But im not 100% sure !



Any ideas ?

The music was composed and arranged in 1990 by Robby Merkin, former Sesame Street Music Director. Lyrics by Tony Geiss. Music recorded by the Sesame Street house band.

My memory of this is fuzzy, but I'm thinking it was Kevin Clash.

Fixin my hair

Long time Sesame writer Tony Geiss is a wonderful writer and lyricist, and can carry a tune well, but unfortunately not well enough to be a professional performer.

Fixin my hair was, like most Sesame films, contracted to a film company called AVIVA films. As in most Sesame music films, the film-makers were given the song to shoot with.

The song was recorded by studio session singers Heidi Berg, Angela Cappelli, Ira Hawkins, and Valerie Wilson-Morris, not by the Sesame cast.
