Sweet Gingerbread Man The Muppet Show

[CairnTerrier69]

After 30 years, this never gets old! Love it!

I was watching this at work, and a colleague started asking me if I do drugs.

[MorteFantasma]

i remember playing this in the summer concert at school, those were good times :)

[trailmixgang]

It's sad to think these guys were eaten shortly after as refreshments for the show. RIP. Gingerbreads. Burp.

[multiawsome13]

[mygoshmarvellous]

still genius - still makes me smile.

Great post Lord Fandangaloid! i love you

[flightstar94]

feel like I´m made out of gingerbread...wonderful song!

thank you

[disneynut06]

@carl22069 Yes, it is. If you listen closely to the lead gingerbread man's voice, you may notice that he sounds quite a bit like Bert from Sesame Street.

[cchasler]

Uh huh

Uh huh

[jaytech3000]

good nightmare fuel

[kimmik1980]

wicked.....

[TigerDragonGrrl]

Disturbing!

[RabbitDance]

So the muppeteers are in the costumes?

[MattBL]

Yes.

[RabbitDance]

They must have had so much fun rehearsing and learning this dance. I just wish I knew who was who.

[hermanandmaxwell]

@RabbitDance

I think the muppeteers recorded the back up tracks, and there are dancers in the costumes, with Frank Oz performing the main gingerbread puppet.

[disneynut06]

@hermanandmaxwell That's what I think too (the possibility of the people in the gingerbread costumes being professional dancers instead of puppeteers and that the Muppeteers recorded the voices before shooting, that is)

[OhGodIPooed]

cool i didnt know it was on the muppets show! this song is sweet lol

[pinkandjefflynne]

For over 30 years this song has been on my mind. Thank you

[rmar67]

@pinkandjefflynne

Me too. I wan't even sure I had the title right.

[Goandmakethetea]

Erm scariest thing I have ever SEEN! You see it scared all the spelling clean out of my head!

[shadowfox1383]

@Goandmakethetea Uh Hu Uh Hu!

[Goandmakethetea]

That is the scariest thing I have ever scene! No wonder I couldn't watch the muppets as a kid!!!

[MIKECNW]

sound's like they had Bobby Sherman's versionj of this song when they made this.

[peeterpoon]

good song but I'll take the Mike Curb Congregation version...

[DELIVEREE]

I wonder if Oz was only used as the lead singing appearance because he refused to be one of the FULL BODIED gingerbread men.

[TServo2049]

Um...I don't think any of the main Muppet guys were in those suits. They most likely were professional dancers.

Remember, all the Muppet songs are pre-recorded.

[Muppetnerd7]

@TServo2049 According to Muppet Wiki, Jim, Richard, Jerry and Dave were in the suits. Frank got the lead singing hand puppet because he hated doing full-bodied Muppets. :P

[MIKECNW]

Where does this song originate?

[Fandangaloid]

Composed by Michel LeGran

Lyricist: Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

[jazzfolkrocker]

this is great, the muppets' first skit from the first season.

[ZeppoThePuppetMan]

Actually it's the first skit from the second season.

[disneynut06]

@jazzfolkrocker You mean the SECOND season. :p

[TheHendonKissArmy]
