Songs of Grover

[Splurge]

Did they lose the rights? If such were the case then that musical number might not have been shown on that 1970 Unpaved episode. Back in those days, a LOT of the songs performed were covers of famous songs.

I don't know if they lost the rights to the songs or whether it was more a question of (paraphrasing)"Hey, hang on a minute. Why pay someone else to use their songs when we could write our own songs and people could buy to hear on record, CD, etc?"

 

[Fozzie Bear]

What about...

around around around around
over and under and through
around around around around
over and under and through (my door)
NEAR!
FAR!
NEAR!
(oh, I'm so tired)
FAR!
Now look at the record, OH!
Around around around around
over the horsey
under the bed
and throuh my door
around around around around
over and under and through
Oh! I'm so tired!
*CLUMP!*

I like the record version of that song, but even better I like the TV version where the only prop was Old Western doors. I like hearing Frank Oz's comment about Joe Raposo writing that song, how Joe didn't have to do anything clever to show off.

Wanna know why the record version was never released on CD? If you notice, he mentions that "this record goes around," and tells us to look at the record when he sings 'around'. The kids of today don't even know what a record is, and you can't see the CD going around.

There are plenty of Sesame recordings on CD that still mention that they're on a record.

Like which ones?

As a matter of fact, the song in question was indeed released on CD. Sesame Street: Best

Like which ones?

Other than "Over, Under, Around and Through" on Sesame Street: Best, I can't think of any more right now, but I know there are some. I'll post here when I think of them which will probably be when I'm driving on Rte 95 N headed for New Hampshire or something
