I thought Brian Henson did a good job with Scooter. He didn't really sound like Scooter but he had the personality down, which is often more important.

I'm honestly not sure I can bring myself to rent MWoO. I'm sure there are good parts, but in general it all might be just too painful.
I guess your right.

I haven't seen it either.

Guys, I've got a little sequel to the baton attacks I joked about...mainly because I can't resist working the joke for all it's worth: :smile: :wink:

Jim enters the building, humming "Let Me Be Your Song." He sees a very shell-shocked Dave, Steve, Kathy and Richard sitting outside the recording studio door, quivering.

Jim: Why, what's all this? Shouldn't you be in there singing?
Steve: We c-can't...
Kathy: Oh, the humanity...
Richard: I'd be safer walking through an alley at night.
Jim: But...I don't understand. And we've got to finish this episode. Go in and work with Phil.
Dave: Jim, we have been lucky enough to escape with our lives. If you had been in there during 'Rev' you would have understood completely.
Jim: I still don't understand. Will somebody please tell me what's going on?
Dave: Maestro, the 'Balsam's Baton Blitz Blues,' please.

(sung to the tune of 'Talkin' Bout Germs')

Dave: It comes from the east. It comes from the west.
Richard: It's coming to get us on each note and on each rest.
Steve: It comes from the front. It comes from the rear.
Kathy: It's coming to get us and it brings all pain and fear.
Richard: It's flying and furious!
Steve: Completely injurious!
Kathy: It'll stab you and jab you to doom!
Dave: One strike and you're gone...It's Balsam's baton!

(door flies open and baton flies out)

(Kathy, Dave, Richard and Steve scream and run for their lives.)

Phil Balsam: Oops! Sorry about that! We'll have to do another take...
Don Gillis: I think you need to chain that baton to your hand, Phil.

Jim: What the hey?

Rather enjoyed it myself too Erin. Liked the reworking of the song.
But who's Don Gillis?

My first reaction when you said that was "oh god", but thinking about it, I guess I'll have to *shudder* rewatch it to see for myself.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, the reason I wasn't really here at all much yesterday was that my FR set finally came! Whoopy!
:excited: I watched the third disk first, because I wanted to see 39 through 41, and I think 40 is now my favorite! Don't forget, that's also the one that contains "Sarah's song" *romantic sigh*
Anyway, my point in telling you this was that I blame you all for getting me into the habbit of not watching them in order! Or at least putting the idea into my head...
"Sarah's Song"? Do you mean me? My name is S-A-R-A by the way. I checked it out on Muppet Wiki, and I believe you mean "Dream Girl Lover"

Yes...I adore that song so much!! I love it so much, and I can't wait till I get Season Two just so I can see that episode!!!

Don Gillis? He was the musical director for Fraggle Rock, oversaw the recording sessions and all that. Gillis Fraggle is named after him.

See... There's where my confusion came in.
Oh hi Confusion... No, Insane's not here now, check back at the fanfic library.
*Confusion leaves.

Thanks Erin.
