The Muppet Show: Rowlf - Beethoven's "Pathétique" (Reprise)

[jpeavler1975]

Billy Joel used this music in his "This Night" song.

[TheBunster101]

It is so funny when the statue of Beethtoven was about to go to sleep,and Rowlf woke him up, and also told Rowlf not to hum.1:21 is SO funny!

[Concetta20]

I love "Pathetique" and I love Rowlf! This bit's brilliant. Only on the Muppets would the bust fall asleep! XD

[JoAkiMBnt]

[LermanLover123]

Rowlf:) his ears are awesommmmeee

[Sirenhound]

Don't listen to that idiot Rowlf! He's not the real Beethoven, just a bust. the real Beethoven wouldn't have known you were humming at all! Or woken up when you played loudly for that matter.

[margaridaOliv]

[Angie2343]

Pathetique was also used in a Sesame Street sketch involving CM painting a cookie.

[gordogreat74]

[crancoloreddolls]

[TwelfthRoot2]

[WeAreBullets]

Hehehe, this is so funny, and Rowlf is so adorable! :D

[MattiasXL]

0:55 cracks me up. "Don't hum!"

"Yes, sir..."

[gristsuki]

Beethoven makes me laugh XD

[Cogskate]

I love the way Rowlf hums along when he plays classical music - especially the slower passages.

Actually, I just love Rowlf! :P

[Keijz74]

I love Rowlf and his classical improvisations. And the humming too. Eight little note's the sweetest ode to Beethoven I could think of.

[bigcat55404]

maybe that was their little tribute to Glenn Gould.

[OofusTwillip]

@Cogskate - That "humming along" is something that Glenn Gould (a true piano virtuoso, but a very troubled man) used to do. There are videos of Gould on YouTube. Check them out!

[swanlakegirl]

@Cogskate I do the same thing! Especially with this piece! Looove Rowlf too
