Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you

THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER.

01. Sesame Street Fever (The Count, Grover, Ernie, Cookie Monster and Robin Gibb)
02. Doin' The Pigeon (Bert & the Girls)
03. Rubber Duckie (Ernie & His Rubber Duckie)
04. Trash (Robin Gibb)
05. C is for Cookie (Cookie Monster & the Girls)
06. Has Anybody Seen My Dog? (Marty and Grover)

The entire album is worth it if only for one line: "Look over there, your dog is getting funky with Cookie Monster!"

Now to find the Electric Company double album on MP3... I know it exists somewhere. If only I'd been larcenous back in my college days and ganked it from WMUA when I had the chance!

I think I had Sesame Disco, but not Fever. Though I do have a mix tape with "Rubber Duckie" and "Has Anybody Seen My Dog" on it.

Ah ... Marty ... one of the lost muppets ... where have you gone Don Music and Sherlock Hemlock.

"Rubber Duckie" is interesting to hear Henson ad-libbing to cover the extensive intrumental parts. He seems to run out of ideas by the end.

Interesting story: Before I was born, my parents were unfamiliar with "Sesame Street," as there wasn't much reason to be. But they had heard "Rubber Duckie," which was a moderate radio hit in the early 70s. They thought it was just some weird novelty song. Only years later did they discover it was sung by a puppet.

Then there's the story of when my father was pretty sure he heard Tom Lehrer singing on "Electric Company" ...

Dammit! Always forget to sign these things!

PS Remember how Whack Flapjack had starred, in the 70s, in a movie called Disco Avenger and there was a fight scored with the "Rubber Duckie" track?

PPS Remember Al and Tipper getting down to "Disco Frog" on "Wannabe Radio"?
