This was a great skit!

Anyone see the skit with the four muppets singing 'I am a great musician'? I saw this recently and thought it was cool!! I liked the early design of Jim Henson's muppets in this, with the stripes and buttons painted on to make them look like marching band musicians. Was this song an old song done by a famous singer or did they make it up?

That's a good question! It probably was a famous singer or so! Hmmm!

And the skit was made back in 1969!

i'm pretty possitive it was. i remember seeing an old Dick Van Dyke Christmas episode this song was performed even though it's not a Christmas Song.

LOL! Yeah, it kind of screams 1969 doesn't it?

Yeah, I loved that vintage Muppet skit too. And the Dick Van Dyke version was very memorable also.

I noticed I hardly recognized the Muppets' singing voices in that skit. Except for Jim Henson who voiced the blue guy. Does anyone know who did the voices for the rest of those Muppets?

Bob McGrath, Joe Raposo and Loretta Long.

Loretta Long is 'Susan' correct?

Never saw the Dick Van Dyke version, sorry to say.

 

[Dantecat]

Correct!

Didn't you just love those purple muppets?
