Favorite Muppet Show sketch?
I love Rita Moreno singing "Fever" with Animal going nuts on the drums. And Linda Rondstadt singing "When I Grow Too Old to Dream."
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

“Not dead yet!”
"The Rainbow Connection." I could tear up now just thinking about it.
That song, period, makes me tear up. In that sort of context, sobbing disaster.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ma Nah Ma Nah is still pretty great.
I also like Debby Harry and the punk rock badges.

Speaking of Harry Belafonte and the Muppets, I love "Turn the World Around," from his appearance on The Muppet Show. Also love that "Fever" number--"[Rant in Spanish.] [Pause.] Cool it."
Oh, and "For What It's Worth," sung by the woodland creatures hiding from the hunters. "You'd better stop, hey, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down..."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I loved Gonzo and his stormtrooper chickens in a Star Wars sketch.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't stop grinning when I listen to Barack Obama. Oof.
Marriage obviously agrees with Ellen because she's looking absolutely gorgeous.
Can't watch Big Bird. Will cry.

Did Harry Belafonte really get up and sing this song? I would have so completely lost it at that point.
JZ, did you look at the "related videos" on that YouTube page?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and "For What It's Worth," sung by the woodland creatures hiding from the hunters. "You'd better stop, hey, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down..."
Yeah, that always sticks with me, not sure why.

That is one of my most clear childhood memories, although I am not sure why it was so memorable.
Also, I should not have watched, because I am crying.
