What's your favorite letter segment?

[wiley207]

My favorite is the "Question Song" with Bert and that little Anything Muppet girl. I used to hear that song all the time on a Sesame Street audio tape, and I used to think it was Prairie Dawn singing since Fran Brill performed the little girl.

Looks as if Vincent Twice Vincent Twice just replied...(just kidding, muppetdude!)

 

[LittleJerry92]

What kind of music was played in "The Letter N"?

Like PinballStewie,I'd also like to know if the music was New Wave like How Now Brown Cow and the Moo Wave or Punk Rock.
