The Muppets Show/Paul Williams---Old Fashioned Love Song

[rjam1974]

One my favorite shows when in preschool along with The INcredible Hulk and Superfriends

[darthxemnas]

I actually like this better than the original

[beefchops2011]

I'm not sure if it's the nostalgia, or the fact that this is the first version I ever heard of this song, but to me this is the BEST version of this song that I've ever heard.

[LatifahFan]

So Good Love The Muppets And I Like this song And am only 17 am a old song type Girl :)

[ferretscraze11]

@LatifahFan Hey, I am only 15 and I uploaded this video because of my love for the Muppets! :)

[alanwiththemuppets]

i love the muppets but thats why i dont have any friends

[Mykill888]

Little Enos!

[dog453679]

Wow! My foot was tapping at the third chorus of that song! great rendition of the Three Dog Night cover. Two thumbs up!

[DarkRonin21]

You'd never guess that this was the same guy who voiced The Penguin on Batman, The Animated Series

[ferretscraze11]

@DarkRonin21 Hey dude, this is kinda peeves me off sometimes, but can you please read a page or two back in the comments? There have already been a post or two talking about Mr. Williams being The Penguin. Just a warning for next time. I myself generally read a couple pages of comments before I ask or inform someone of something, just to see if someone else has had the same idea.

[E3655]

@ferretscraze11 Big talk coming from a guy who posted the same video as DrJuliusStrangepork...

Relax Pat, Ronin was not asking a question- just stating the obvious! Comments are a cray thing, besides this is youtube after all!

[ferretscraze11]

@E3655 Yeah, I don't tend to rant like most people, but sometimes ya just gotta! :/ lol

[LihAniaih]

@ferretscraze11 Hey calm down, man. So he wanted to make an observation that others happened to have made, what's the problem with that? Afraid he's going to overload YouTube with redundant posts?

[ferretscraze11]

@LihAniaih Just a little bit, because I've seen several people do that, even when the same comment is on the same comment page...I am not really pissed off that much, but it just somewhat aggravates me, but I ignore it eventually...

[WMAHero]

@DarkRonin21 I know crazy.

[ellisfseawell]

I miss Paul, I miss Henson's Muppets, and I miss the music. I hate getting old.

[Phlatpop]

@ellisfseawell Im a teenager and have grown up watching the muppets... im right there with you

[dedboy2000]

@ellisfseawell You got me worried for a minute that Paul Williams had died.

[BlandAmbition]

@HotBroodish Well, your hands are obviously not broken. Instead of posting some lame-assed rant at people who are trying to be helpful to you (in regards to a question which, frankly, you could've easily googled the answer for), try removing your original post.

Problem solved.

[HotBroodish]

@BlandAmbition good idea- forgot i could do that.

[zer0blue1]

vote up if Just An Old Fashioned Lab Song... go you here

[KyoIchigaki]

@HotBroodish actually, yes...his most recent appearance, I think was in 2009 on Yo Gabba Gabba where he performed Rainbow Connection

[lurch321]

Paul is easily the most underrated songwriter ever! Glad he kicked his drug problems and is still alive and well, too!

[steveste570]

3 people hav never heard real music in their lives

[Hallamfoebell]

when was he on the muppets? Its so cool he played the Penquin in Batman series

[Hallamfoebell]

when was he on the muppets?

[Seanschemmelfan]

@Hallamfoebell Yes

[DianaVachier]

I love him. My fav song is Out in the Country.

[TheJailProductions]

think of all the puppeteers below him during that final scene!

[RandomGio]

thats cool he has a mupprt virsion of him

[500YenDevin]

@RandomGio back then they made a puppet version of each episode's guest and presented it to them at the end.

[barneynedward]

I think he should play the Penguin in the next live action batman film (not the dark knight rises), he's short, he's stocky,he voiced the penguin on Batman: the animated series

[ferretscraze11]

@HotBroodish No idea...lol

[CodationStation]

@ferretscraze11 Apparently, he's the current President at ASCAP.

[EliasVideoProduction]

@HotBroodish

Yes. He is still working. He have made the songs for the muppet movie for last year; "A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa" and the new muppet movie that coming soon "Green With Evany"

[HandsomeTeddy9]

@EliasVideoProduction ...I'm not so sure about him being involved with "green with Eveny" do you have a source?

[EliasVideoProduction]

@HandsomeTeddy9

No, i'm not sure that he worked on the last one. But he worked on the muppetmovie for last year "A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa". That's all i know...

This video here is that he's singing on The Muppet Show as a young man, here's him as older;

/watch?v=oa9fm55cwno

[dndearnest]

@HotBroodish - Yes he is, he mostly does voice over work now. I believe he is also still writing songs as well.

[liberia84]

@HotBroodish Just saw him tonight on the Huckabee show on Fox News LOL

[jcpbrighteyes]

@HotBroodish spinner.com/2011/09/14/paul-wi­lliams-still-alive-tiff/?icid=­maing-grid7|main5|dl2|sec1_lnk­2|95538

Yes, he's just more local these days, apparently.

[CasethepromisedLand]

@HotBroodish there's an article from today on spinner.com about him. apparently a bunch a people thought he died, so a director made a documentary about him

[Phantomsbreath]

@HotBroodish Last I heard, yes.

[muppetsstoogesfan1]

@HotBroodish yes

[shitdate]

@HotBroodish Yes!  He's living in Nashville and still working.

[RevJohn]

@HotBroodish Paul is 71 years old now and rarely makes public appearances

[TheArsenalgooner]

@HotBroodish  Non stop! He's AWESOME!

[feltintothenight]

i want the download of this song D: i dont know where to find it

[cashpresley]

@feltintothenight

youtube to mp3 converter is the way to get it.

[InfernalMari]

The irony of three people disliking this video is staggering.

[Hallamfoebell]

@InfernalMari yeah I know who didnt like classic Muppets

[Cyberlanky]

@InfernalMari Sadly it's 4 now :(

[Pikminlinkfan23]

I love this song.

[JosephJamesScott]

it would all be done with CGI these days

[Clamanath]

@JosephJamesScott Ah... no. Just no.

[ferretscraze11]

@Clamanath I second that emotion. lol

[MrJCTrix]

own the first 3 seasons of muppets on dvd this is one of my fav songs on it

[ferretscraze11]

@MrJCTrix Same here! I watch those 3 seasons all the time. Kinda wish they'd put the other seasons out later though, so I can COLLECT THEM ALL! Hahaha!

[MrJCTrix]

@ferretscraze11 did you know he kept one of those muppets of himself and put it on his piano at home

[ferretscraze11]

@MrJCTrix Really? Wow! Never knew that! But hey, I would too if I had one!

[MrJCTrix]

@ferretscraze11 watch the dvd with the muppet tidbits or whatever it is called give you alot of little facts like that

[MrJCTrix]

@ferretscraze11 later he claimed he was the only one who's muppet was life sized

[ferretscraze11]

@MrJCTrix That would be awesome to have a life sized muppet...

[MrJCTrix]

@ferretscraze11 it was seen as a joke about his size compered to the muppets

[ferretscraze11]

@MrJCTrix Figured...he was a short one. lol

[drstrangelove1968]

There's two things I like! Paul Williams and Muppets! FTW!!!

[ferretscraze11]

@drstrangelove1968 Same here, friend! Muppets are the shiz and Paul Williams is pretty good!

[aleksievelez12]

wonderful, it's been long time since the album a little bit love. I still have LP.

[claud1273]

i love Paul Williams and all his songs! Genius!

[syzygykoal]

Fuckin' wonderful

[snasske]

nothing makes me more happy then fat musicans dacing and singing with dolls!

[realjoemaine]

he looks like little enos burdette from smokey and the bandit

[MrMoronsrus]

@realjoemaine he was in a smokey and the bandit movie. LOL

[FifthofEleventh]

@realjoemaine That's because that's who it is, haha.

[Cybertoy00]

Kermit wasn't kidding when he said they were making Paul an honorary muppet.

[jebandme]

one of the best



[TheSinfulFreedom]

This video has no dislikes. As it should.

[ferretscraze11]

@TheSinfulFreedom Which I am thankful for :D

[Marhleet]

@TheSinfulFreedom now look what you did !

[sipodge]

@TheSinfulFreedom Sadly, it has 1 dislike :(

[TheSinfulFreedom]

@sipodge no doubt some troll being a bitch after seeing my comment.

[DeathMensDream]

I think this version of the song is even better than the original! :D

*DANCE*

[deletedstarko]

This is a good example of good tv

[babymoondancer]

She's not joking, he did indeed write the music for NIMH. Also, Wil Wheaton and Shannen Doherty were in it!!

[ambersalcove]

Hey did you know that he wrote the music for the Movie the Secret of Nimh with Jerry Goldsmith

[formerfreak]

@ambersalcove seriously?

[springerjkreb]

@ambersalcove You're joking.

[Liisha2theMoon]

@ambersalcove he's also the voice of the penguin on batman the animated series beileve it or not

[ambersalcove]

it's one of my favorite episodes from the muppet show too

[ambersalcove]

the old time radio is so cute

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

Damn. The Penguin can jam.

[Mythdude314]

Hehe, This is one of my favorite episodes :)

[BigMike20X6]

Is it just me, or does Paul's Muppet look a bit like Mitch Hedberg?

[springerjkreb]

Definitely prefer Paul Williams' rendition to 3 Dog Night's.

[narmolania]

Paul Williams has writte so many beautiful songs!! Dear lord, it was so much fun seing this song sang by him and the muppets!!! XDD I love the "minime" versions of Paul Williams XDDDDD

[Horyzeson]

i love this version, and vividly remember this episode of the muppet show!!!!

[Oldiesmann]

Such a shame that this version never hit it big in the US. While I love Three Dog Night, it would be nice if they hadn't kept the original version of this song (as well as Leo Sayer's "The Show Must Go On") from being a hit in the US

[mrtjf]

i like this allot, first time i heard this was on the muppets! brilliant.

[raiderj134]

Nothing like this left like this in the world. This is probabaly one of the best episodes ever

[disneynut06]

Nice song.

I also really love the rain falling outside the window--nice, realistic touch.

[CartoonFan56]

Wonderful video. It's too bad that there's nothing like this anymore. Just pure fun.

[ferretscraze11]

@CartoonFan56 Yeah, I know how ya feel.

[skye131924]

@CartoonFan56 the stuff they bring out now days is nothing but smoke and mirrors :(
