Two good ones.

1) I love the Miss Piggy Solo song "Happiness" (I think...Bad, bad of me) where she's singing in the pool from "The Great Muppet Caper".

2) And the "Why couldn't we ride" song where all the muppets ride bikes, awesome!!!
I remember when I was younger watching a behind the scenes, I was really impressed!!

My moments...

The letter readings from MCJH

Kermit's Ghost Town Speech from TMM (The lines that gets to me: "If you don't agree with it, well, then...Go ahead and kill me." They would NEVER do that in a Muppet product nowadays)

"One Little Star" from "Follow That Bird"

The whole of MTM (because, despite there being no Twin Towers sightings, it was still our Muppets in New York City, before the horrors that the 90s and beyond would lay unto the Muppets and New York City)

Finally, this is a happy moment, but it makes me misty nevertheless...My chance encounter with Jim Henson at Walt Disney World. He did the voice of Kermit The Frog for me, and agreed to be in a picture with me and my brother. To think that I met a creative spirit who influences me to this day is truly emotional...even more so considering he's been gone for 12 years now.

Sincerely,

John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff

You MET Jim Henson?? You're so lucky! I've just realized that another tear jerking moment for me is knowing that I won't get to meet him:frown: My eyes are damp right now as I think about that.

Maybe my most tear-jerking moment is when Kermit gets hit by the taxi in TMTM. Sooo sad, even though i know he'll be fine later, it still gets me sometimes. But yeah, watching Jim Henson's family members and friends reading stuff about him is sad too.

And now that I'm on it, I was just listening to Bert singing "I Wish I Had a Friend to Play with Me", that was sad!
