Songs of Joe Raposo

Wow - I just found out that Joe DIDN'T write the song Funny Face, contrary to what I had thought when I first saw that Unpaved episode.

Guys,

Because there are TOO many songs that Joe wrote - LOL!


So i thought its best to keep it to what Joe sung.


see ya

I have a really nice version of Joe singing "Somebody Come and Play" that I took of an early broadcast of Sesame Street. It accompanied footage of a small chimpanzee apparently, looking for someone to pal around with. It's really a nice segment.

There's also his "Brushin' Blues" song, too.

I listed that one as:

Up And Down, Left And Right (footage of brushing a whale's teeth)

Is that the one you mean?

I just thought of two more Raposo tunes that I haven't seen/heard in years, but almost remember the words by heart:
•Water Baby
•Trying And Trying Again

 

[Splurge]

Didn't he do one called, "What Do You Do When You're a Kangaroo"?

Joe had a voice in "I Am A Fine Musician" song - the trombone verse.

It's also been stated in Muppet Central that he also was the voice of the unnamed Cookie Monster in "Everyone Likes Ice Cream". (It sounds plausible enough.)

For some reason, I thought the trombone verse of "I Am A Fine Musician" was Bob. I have just noticed that sometimes, Joe Raposo and Bob have similar voices.
