Muppet Show S1 E11 P2 - Lena Horne

[raggedyanarchist]

Heehee... Rowlf is such a sweet boy. Lookit his mouth tremble right before he starts to cry. He and Zoot play the Love Story theme beautifully.

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

Janice: Will you love me forever?

Me: Yep, just until they make Floyd more prominent in later seasons.

[lotten1992]

i'd give everything i own to just hear Zoot and Rowlf play together live. That'd been a dream come true.

but it's possibly too late now

:'(

[james739123]

killer spagety

[Shancus32796]

awe, poor scooter...

[PhaedrusNYC]

It's always amazed me how much sound Zoot can get out of that sax without moving his fingers. ;)

[JJtronlady]

Team Zoot forever.

@snoop0851 up until Jim Henson's death he was always called a "thing" or a "whatever", after disney took over he turned into an alien. personally, I will think of him as a "thing/whatever" because it was a running gag which I always found amusing

[4everUself]

@4everUself *I ment after Jim Henson died, Disney only took over in 2004

[sweetjoey2]

we will never sadly know what jim himself felt gonzo was but yeah alien still works :)

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

@sweetjoey2 Gonzo is, simply put, an Artist.

[artemis101814]

@snoop0851 he's a turkey. he doesn't look like one, but he is

[123presto1]

5:28 Swedish Chef! so funny.

[rachlouise3]

@snoop0851

I'm pretty sure he's a hawk of some kind.

[googamp32]

@rachlouise3 No his is a alien.

[futuremadonna6]

the audience booed??

[rfm2ckt]

OMG! SO FUNNY and CUTE! "Day... Doris Day"... Priceless! Lena Horne IS as close to a black Doris Day as anyone could get! I'm not sure I'm being politically correct here, but I don't mean to be offensive to anyone... because I love both Lena Horne AND Doris Day.

[Akeys03]

The song towards the end is sooo sweet, I dedicate it to @Samantha

[lawoma]

must say Zoot and Rolwf are a very good blues duo

[maxi2007a]

I am going to miss Lena RIP

[thecollector89]

7:15 :)

[ExecutorArkanis]

@MrGikesmanners Great, now I don't want to touch ANYTHING from Sweden. *looks at father's Swiss Army Knife* F**K!

[mechasaurus]

I heard they get two guys to play chef's hands; each guy is one hand.

[muppet7680]

@mechasaurus almost right, Frank Oz was the hands and Jim Henson operated the mouth and did the voice - and neither told the other what they were doing which is what made it so brilliant.

[TheEmikodo]

It popped.

[Aedren]

I really like the part where Rowlf and Zoot are playing together!

[83dfs]

@Aedren it sound like "where do i begin" from "Love Story"

[Sabreeshuh]

gotta love the sweedish chef, BORK BORK!!!

[mabgamer6407]

Why does Miss Piggy sound odd when shes at the dance yet she sounds normal out of it?

[ironrose31]

At the time, there were two people doing Piggy's voice, she hadn't yet become a major character - although even this early, the major aspects of the ham we all know and love were there.

[mabgamer6407]

Hmmm true true.....

[Deanmo23]

Keep an eye out for two Rag Mops from the opening number dancing together!

[perualonso]

Poor Gonzo. How could Animal just upset him like that?

[byranntherockstar]

I love how Rolfe (is that how you spell it?) goes crazy at one part of the song

[MsKnowItAll26]

It's spelt Rowlf, but yeah I love him when he goes all crazy too :)

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

0:32 "You know, my aunt has a chest that goes back to 1700."

"Wow, that must make it tough on your uncle."

[QWERTYUIPMNJKIP]

@CaitlinBrooksMusic

whats that mean xDD

[VideoVixen24]

I love The Muppet show! Whenever I watch it, I start smiling and I don't even realizing I'm smiling! It's just THAT infectious!

[AlbieGray]

Lena Horne is one of the most class acts there is. Happy 92nd, Miss Horne!

[Rheesoman]

lol you'd be afraid to eat anything at the mupet show, you wouldnt know what was a mupet and what wasn't

[LFirstbasema]

It's funny when Animal pops the balloon and the crowd boos Gonzo.

[Sumgui2009]

Swedish Chef said scooby doo XD

[brightbite]

A lot has been stolen from this show.

[Angie2343]

Scooby Doo came on TV the same time as Sesame Street. Coincidence?

[buchputzi]

gonzo is so sweet.....

[TamTheHamster]

He is! I was kinda envious of Lena Horne there, when she got to hug him... I guess there are some people who are envious of Gonzo though, in that situation! ;)

[1985Nebraska]

I guess Scooter was looking for a death wish from Miss Piggy.

LOL!

[xxthelastonexx]

zoot is the best. if only he has hair. when he tok his hat off he would own even more

[JktuUekmw]

Zoot is the coolest and the most stylish and he's a great musician! :) And I like his girlfriend very much by the way, she's most beautiful and coolest too! Great couple! :)

[Stephen10528]

@JktuUekmw Who's his girlfriend? I didn't know he had one.

[am9224]

Love Story by Andy Williams.

[huntress1863]

I thought there was a version of Love Story done by Henry Mancini.

[mrtelevision]

There was-it was a cover version of Andy's

song

[jtrouveroy]

rowlf and zoots tune... what is it? anyone know?

[argie498189]

This is Love Story, the theme from the movie. It was recorded by Andy Williams and many others.

[LotusMegami]

Marry me Zoot.

[bethhigdon]

poor Scooter :(

[sorrowwanders]

I love the number between Zoot and Rowlf

[brightbite]

Zoot's the only sax player I know who can play that well without lifting a finger.
