Muppet Show - Liberace
Liberace appeared in a 1978 episode of The Muppet Show. Here is a clip from his 'Concert For the Birds', at the beginning of which he attempts to establish his credentials as a serious pianist by playing a little Chopin for Sam the Eagle. (One more reason to love The Muppet Show - where else would you get to see the famous Nocturne followed immediately by a song called 'Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue'? :) )

Sesame Street - Count It Higher
If you were a child in the late 70s or early 80s (or were a parent at that time) you're undoubtedly familiar with the Jim Henson program 'Sesame Street'. Translated into several dozen languages and exported around the world, it's been one of the most successful children's programs of all time. This clip is from the show's glory days in the 80s, when Sesame Street (and the related Muppet Show) was in full swing, taking its cues from popular culture. Here, a parody of the Beatles' 'Twist and Shout' - complete with screaming fans. :)

Sesame Street - Ladybugs' Picnic
One of my (many) favourite songs from the Sesame Street shows. It's short, sweet, and cute, everything a minute-long cartoon should be. I've been singing it aloud from memory since the age of 4. :) "They talked about the high price of furniture and rugs, and fire insurance for ladybugs..."

Sesame Street - Typewriter Guy/Letter C
The "Typewriter Guy", with his trademark "noo-nee-noo" song, was a regular feature in the Sesame Street program in the 70s and 80s. These short animations featured different letters of the alphabet. Here: the letter C.

Beatles parody - Sesame Street
Sesame Street presents... The Beetles! The English-accented insects perform their hit 'Hey Food' with guest vocalist Cookie Monster. Another clever Muppet Beatles parody. "Hey food, can't put you down If you're dry toast, or something wetter Whenever we take you off of a plate We feel so great And we feel better..." :)

Beatles parody (II) - Sesame Street
Another Beatles parody by muppet band The Beetles. This time: Letter B - to the tune of 'Let It Be', of course! "When I find I can't remember What comes after 'A' and before 'C' My mother always whispers, 'Letter B' (...) Now in my hour of darkness There's a sound I know will comfort me It's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of Letter B"... :)

Sesame Street Newsflash: 3 Little Pigs
A fixture of early Sesame Street shows was Kermit's 'News Flash' feature, where our famous little frog would interview characters from various nursery rhymes and stories and ask the tough questions of his subjects. :) Here, Kermit delves into the conundrum of the Three Little Pigs. (My apologies for the sound quality - you'll have to turn your speakers way up...)
