Jim Henson Workshop - Muppets Counting

[TheNinjaMouse]

Wow, getting a peek at a workshop led by Mr. Henson is a real honor. I just got a puppet for Christmas this year and now I feel inspired to go practice. The only downside is that song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day! Oh well; thanks so much for posting this!

What is the name of the song they sing?

[LadyNekoshema]

Frére Jacques. [translates as brother john i believe, but i only know it in french so...]

[at90percent]

@LadyNekoshema When sung in English it's:

Are you sleeping,

Are you sleeping

Brother John

Brother John

However when sung in French the lines are in reverse.

Brother John (Frére Jacques.)

Brother John (Frére Jacques.)

Are you sleeping (dome vu)

Are you sleeping (dome vu)

You can hear a little of Kermit even when he speaks normally. : ) Weird to think he's been gone for nearly twenty years. What a legacy though!

I do believe that Mr Henson held so much of his vision together and his departure from our world,it cast everyone to the wind, at least so many people have been inspired by his work and his view of the world; we all continue to echo something truly wonderful, but I think also he would be the first to say that this positive view of the world that his creatures conveyed wasn't just something he invented,he would have thought he only echoed his time,however he understood that spirit more than most.

I have adored Jim Henson my entire life. His creations have brought so much happiness and joy to countless people.

Wow. This is a great video; I appreciate you uploading this video onto You Tube so puppetry aficionados everywhere can learn from one of the best.

The Henson company is the best, and it would be a dream to some day see the pros in person.

Thanks again

Yes, this is true. And it's very sad that we lost this man.
