Great article! This has given me a few songs to look up now! (Particularly curious about the Bruno and the Trashmen and the Harvey Kneeslapper songs! :smile:)
I noticed that in that article if you click on the song titles they link to either the video clips on sesamestreet.org or the Muppet Wiki song pages. But the link provided when clicking on the title "I Love My Elbows" seems to have an error.

One think that prawncracker put in each entry was a "circa year" for each song. I figure those year guesses were based on their "earliest known appearances" at Muppet Wiki. It says "How to Get to Yellowstone Park" was "circa 1983", but I dont think it was made anytime past 1979. Halfway through the third season of The Muppet Show (during the production break, starting with The Muppet Movie) The Jim Henson Company started using a different material for the Kermit puppet. The older one, which was seen in that number, had more noticible felt textures. My guess is that that clips from either season 8 or 9.

Edit: I noticed a few video link errors. Clicking on the title "Fat Cat Scat Scat" goes to "How to Get to Yellowstone Park", while clicking on "Yellowstone Park" leads to a "null" page. Also, in my entry on "Fat Cat", I mispelled "anything" as "anythign".

I can't read the review because I haven't read the comic yet. It is on a list of things to get done tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be a productive day.

You know you're lucky, fright Prawny? If I had to do it again, I'd take advantage of trying to find Muppet Central and be as knowledgeable on all manner of Muppet TV specials/merchandise as I am now. When I graduated from high school and went into college, I forsook my Muppety heritage, there's a bit of a Bert-like blow-up I remember—apologizing to the person helping me of corpse. All of you should appreciate the opportunities you have today. Muppet fans rejoice and make the most of your college years. :wisdom:
