[GaolisVideoLog]

Why's the title of this video in French? The song's German.

[Ravenixrising]

[adrianmh1919]

Love the ears!!!!!! LOL

[Keijz74]

Rowlf you are the man...

[jamsta2k9]

u know that its called furr ellise

[Risatara]

You know, that its really called "Für Elise". If you don't have an ü, how about using ue?

[DanieXJ]

Dude, it's being played by a Dog, hence... Furr Elise... a joke... The Muppet Show was awesome for doing jokes like that... :)

[spheresounds]

Hihi Fur-Elise....LOL

[vadirtgirl]

you know that it's really 'it's'. if you don't have a ', how about using an 'it is'?

[Risatara]

You know, that it really looks pretty stupid to correct somebody about orthography, or laziness, while ignoring shift at all? :P

[KyranGeraghty]

You don't say!! You a German ohne (without) a sense of humour??

[bobbib21]

Great message to kids. That's Jim Henson's genius right there, Rowlf continuing to play despite the mistakes while still showing moments of brilliance on the piano.

[carlotta4th]

@bobbib21 Yeah. Except I think Jim was doing the head whil'st someone else did the hands....AND the song was probably pre-recorded since it would be too difficult to play with furry gloves on.

But, yeah. He's a genius anyway.

[homeschoolmom3]

[cblomme]

rwolf should be the president he would make good woof choices

[Justacarolinian]

I bet his cabinet members would even have paid their taxes too!

[drummy747]

rowlf is pimpin the piano

[LuLu615]

Here's a stupid question, lol. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Rowlf? Haha. I know it's probably really obvious. Is it like Ralph? But....not? lol. I feel like a dumbass but I want to name my dog Rowlf and I don't want to say it wrong and then someone tell me it's pronounced a different way, haha. That'd be bad.

[Ekit357]

It's pronounced "Rolph"

[LuLu615]

Thanks!

[paulrandig]

As a kid I learned to play the piano. And it is not allways funny to practise, practise, practise... Rowlf helped me to get over those times of doubt. Thank you Rowlf. I owe you something!

[Mimeblade]

His fingers must be hurting...lol

[GregoriousGregori9]

These Rowlf the dog segments were created as Fillers for the Canadian and UK runs of the Muppet show.

In the States when the show first aired The had 3 mins less program due to commercials so to fill those 3 mins The did these spots. Americans Only got to see these once the show went into syndicaton

[DrSumeet]

Even now its funnier than anything else on tv.

[sahajad]

A superb performance with his ears wagging all the way.

[lisaandnathan]

OMG!!! Rowlf was the reason i took up piano lessons and "Fur (geddit...sorry) Elise" was the first piece of classical music I learnt to play.Has anybody got "Tit Willow" the duet that Rowlf recorded with Sam The Eagle? Still makes me smile thinking about it.

[Browork]

The genius of the muppets is that through a character like Rowlf Dog, Jim Henson was able to expose a beautiful piece of classical music to people who might otherwise never have cared to hear it.

[raybob11]

yay! rowlf is one of my favorite muppets!

[reichmarshall]

Why is it that Sam the Eagle never recognized the culture and class that Rowlf brought to the show!

[BladeOverBullet]

I was actually waiting for the candlestick to fall over throughout the whole thing! hahaha

[pianostudent72]

Great!

[calogria]

Ehm... it's Beethoven.

It's wonderful how it's exactly synchronized with the music, and how his gestures (like looking up in the air at an "expressive" moment) are so classical pianist-like.

[stinetroll]

yay rowlf and mozart!

wonder if he,the dude inside, actually plays the piano, would be kinda hard, dont think he can see that good...

anyway, yay

[gonzogal019]

That was Jim Henson who "manipulated" Rowlf. No he didn't actually play the piano. Only Rowlfs Left hand is Jims the other hand is someone elses.

[disneynut06]

Actually, when Rowlf played the piano, Jim did the head and voice while another puppeteer did both of his hands.

[TsWade2]

Rowlf is so cute and cuddly.

[lotus2]

I love Rowlf's ears! There so floppy! :)

[comet654]

Fabulous!!

[Miscarry]

Amazing!
