Sesame Street - "I'm So Lonely"

[jcrowley1985]

Sponsored by Swanson "dinner for one" microwavable meals.

[SnugglySara]

He was kinda sexy!

[rayandreina]

Sounds a lot like "Busted" -- written by Johnny Cash, but my favorite performance is by Ray Charles!

[HolidayInGuantanamo]

Digging the organ and bass lines on this! Groovy, maaaan. Sesame Street: the Stax Years. =)

[TelephoneRock4ever]

To methogonzo: now, why would you say that? I didn't think they were.

I think the lead singer needs a hug, and I'm just the person for that!

[hauyn89]

Man, oh Man, did he need prozac.

[methogonzo]

the puppets on this one are a little bit frightening

[mygirlfriendisback]

Catchy!

[Jbrangwynne53]

I think this might be based off Randy Newman. It certainly sounds like Jerry's imitating him. Even the puppet looks like Randy Newman. XD

[SnugglySara]

@Jbrangwynne53 back when puppets were sexy!

[muppetfan33]

Anyone understand what that guy said at the end as they carried him off? Jerry Nelson and the choir singers have a lot of talent!

[MarshalGrover]

He said "Aw, c'mon. C'mon back. I need to see your smilin' face!"

[muppetfan33]

I especially liked the organ. Was that a Hammond B-3? Is this supposed to be a gospel song? Jerry rocks!!!

[CheekTV]

Love this song, I was even swaying at one point...oooh cheeky! x

[tpirman1982]

Blooper observed!

@ 1:42, a puppeteer's arm is visible below the green muppet's red robe, between the blue muppet in the pink robe and the lonely man.

[tpirman1982]

Also noticed in the same area @ 1:37

[muppetfan33]

Was it the sleeve with the white and green stripes?

[tpirman1982]

yeah

[muppetfan33]

Whose arm was that? Anyone know?

[vanni9283]

A little Gospel influence in this one!!!

[andrewcolinwilson]

Everyone kept ignoring him.

[MarshalGrover]

and vice versa.

[hoopersghost]

Aww! The last of the "emotion songs" performed by a Muppet musical group; it's a shame the lyrics ruled out Little Jerry's or Little Chrissy's band! (They'd have a hard time keeping their distance while one of them sang...)

[antsamthompson9]

Nice song! Can Jerry Nelson sing or what?

[tpirman1982]

Darn tootin'. That's Jerry Nelson for ya'.

[GroverKent]

What was the video you were wanting to post?

[MarshalGrover]

"Things That I Remember" by E&B. But, UTube screwed it up by make the video speed up (really fast!), while the audio play at normal speed and getting cut off when the footage ended.

[GroverKent]

G.I.C.

I'd figure that one might already be posted by someone else anyway, it's a common bit, but oh well. Nice song, sweet memories.

[tpirman1982]

Thanks a million, MarshalGrover.

I was about to request this next.

I haven't seen this one in years.

[culpit]

When I saw this as a little kid, I thought those girls had kidnapped that guy and took him away somewhere.

[tpirman1982]

Nah. They seem to be responding to his loneliness.
