The Muppet Show: Floyd Pepper, Zoot & Janice - "Ain't Misbehavin'"

[TheDude47374]

This version is awesome, and I get the impression it is supposed to sound like Leon Redbone. I've looked everywhere and nobody's version sounds like this but Redbone's. In fact, Redbone's version is strikingly similar - just a fiddle instead of a saxophone...

No dislikes says it all.

who actually played bass for the muppets? that was a pretty awesome little solo. Great rendition of the tune too.

I dont know who is worser singing this: Floyd or Warren The Ape From MTV?

@1990babyface

Obvious answer.... Warren the Ape... I mean, come, they play it on MTV...It has to suck.

[1990babyface]

@im2ninja4you *Literally rolling on the floor right now laughing my ass off* Wow... You WOULD respond to my question. Hope they cancel that Warren shit from MTV... The monkey sucks.

Wonderful version of this song. I need to find out who this "really" is. At first I thought maybe Leon Redbone, but I'm not so sure...

[disneynut06]

@willieelmono As far as I know, this song was written by Fats Waller.

[VampireKingDuz]

@willieelmono If you mean singing it here, it's Floyd's performer, Jerry Nelson. He isn't singing it in Floyd's normal voice because it needed a deeper voice than what was in the 'Floyd range'. But Jerry Nelson excused his doing it by saying "He is me and me is he"

[missaudreyh]

no, i would definitely agree. that's why the muppets are so wonderful to watch, because the performers are legitimately talented outside of puppetteering and voice work.

Call me crazy, but I think this version is very good and not limited to a puppet show.
