I posted an earlier message about me putting nameless AM characters on the Count's master listings.

My first characters:

The AMs who sang "Goin' for a Ride". I know one was a captain, one was an engineer, and one was driving a car.

Please describe what they looked like as best as you can.

Thanks and have a good night.

The car driver was a small, magenta AM, the enigineer was the same type of AM as the car driver, and the boat captain was deep purple.

Hi BlueAM, thanks for your continued help. Did you get the message with questions I sent you? If not, LMK and I'll ask again. Thought it would be better to contact you personally than post in the thread you started up, though the question arises... why did you start a "Part 2" thread if the first one's going so well?
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon, and have a good weekend.

Thanks! Oh, the Count will be SOOOOO happy!

Next characters:

The boy and girl that sang "Some Enchanted Lunchtime".

Please describe them as best you can.

Thanks for your help, and happy hunting!

Count,

If you would like to know what the AMs looked like other than their skin color,
I'll give you more of a good discripion.

The car driver had a black derby on his head and a green shirt on with red and blue stripes. The engineer had an enigeer's hat on with white and blue stripes and a turquoise turtle-neck shirt on. And the captain had a navy blue sailor cap on with a little, white steering wheel symbol like of a boat.

Also the car-driver was Frank Oz with a Bert or Fozzie Bear type of voice.
The engineer was Carrol Spinney with a Big Bird voice.
And the boat captain was Jim Henson with a Guy Smiley type of voice

Hope this helps. :wink:

Well the boy was green with a pointed head and fuzzy orange hair. I think he was performed by Peter Linz. I think the girl was lavender with brown hair in braids? I forget most of this. Sorry. :sympathy:

Yes, I will be most happy with all the help you guys are giving BlueAM, and in turn to my listings.
However, how does the song "Goin' for a Ride" with the three characters described above differ from the song "Goin' for a Ride" with the family of AM's that gets sung commonly now-a-days, with the lyrics of "Lets go for a ride in an automobile. Let's take a ride in a car." followed by various noise words sung as a chorus?
Hope to hear from you soon and have a good weekend.

The father was performed by Marty Robinson, the mother was Louise Gold,
the son was Jerry Nelson, but I don't know who performed the daughter.
(Fran Brill?)

The father was a live-hand lavender AM with brown hair, Don Music or Herbert
Birdsfoot glasses and I think a light green nose
The mother was the same type of AM as the father but she had short dark brown hair, small eyes, and a small pink nose.
The son was a small lavender AM with vertical surprised-looking oval eyes, a pink nose, and short brownish hair.
And the daughter was green with a pointed head and long, stringy, orange hair(like Little Jerry's)but with a pony-tail, and I think a pink nose with small eyes.

Let's go driving in an automoble, let's take a ride in a car. Listen to the horn go :eek: :eek: :eek: as we travel near and far. :smile:

Thanks for those additions, but the question I have is how does the song with the car-riding family differ from the song with the engineer and boat captain and car driver?
Hope to hear from you guys soon, and hope BlueAM comes back to take control of the thread started by that member itself.
