This is an awesome song... but I'll confess, I'm stupid and don't get the "C) Sneak out in the middle of the night" joke. Like, how the hell does it constitute as a method of payment?

[Stulz]

@CalumAJ99 It doesn't. That's the point. You get to spend most of the night but sneak out with out paying, so you get your room for free. That's why the place is such a mess, they can't afford it to fix it since, it would seem, most occupants have chosen the C method of "payment" :)

[Stulz]

The sharp contrast in rating these days are do both to the MPAA and our country becoming more and more conservative over the years. Many PG movies in the 1980's that were considered family or kids movies used "shit" and even the occasional "fuck". Myself nor parents were ever offend by the use of "hell" or "naked" in this film be it 25 years ago or today. Our country is becoming way too uptight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM HENSON!!! You are missed.

"Oh he's just upset cuz he missed the Rembrandt exhitbit at the National Gallery"

"RENOIR!"

@FreakinSweet1987 I don't think there are any "fucks" in anytrue G rated "kids movies", but there are however a few in family friendly PG rated movies. Big, Beetlejuice, Spaceballs and Flight of the Navigator for example snuck in at least one.

[FreakinSweet1987]

@Stulz What kids movies used the word "fuck"? I'm trying so hard to think of one but I still feel like it was too harsh for it to slip by.

SOMEBODY'S CHECKING IN! *Bing* SOMEBODY'S CHECKING IN??!!

[CalumAJ99]

@Stulz Oh right, I gathered it was something like that, I was just perplexed as ever since I was a kid, I took from the wording that Pops was going to get them to pay there and then, and and that as opposed to paying, they were just going to sneak out in the middle of the night EVERY night, which would have defeated the point of staying at a hotel

@Theboxofme I would say mine are:

(In no order)

1 Happiness Hotel

2 Hey! A Movie!

3 Can You Picture That?

4 Night Life

5 Rainbow Connect/Magic Store

6 I Hope That Something Better Comes Along

And really: Anything the Electric Mayhem does :)

[Tenucha]

@Stulz lol Exactly!

Besides, growing up, these words didn't both me. Nor did I really notice there use now as an adult. I got the jokes more and got more out of it but didn't think "OMG! Janice said 'naked'!!" LOL

Besides.... Janice says something a 'lil more risque in Muppets Take Manhattan anyway hah

[Tenucha]

@MichaelBrookham Besides... there are kids shows that use the word 'naked'. I believe Invader Zim and Spongebob Squarerpants are two that come to mind.

[Tenucha]

@MichaelBrookham Since when was 'Hell' and 'naked' considered "mild language" and require a higher rating? The content of the movie is very G rated. Besides that: The Muppets were always more for the adults/parents than it was for the kids. The Muppet Show was the adult's show with Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street both catering to a much younger crowd.

The original Ninja Turtles live action (90s) movie has the turtles saying "Bitchin'" and "Damn". Those would be mild.

[Tenucha]

@xXxmendingheartxXx lol Clearly. I dont think Zoot, no matter how spaced out he is, would refer to himself in the 3rd person ;P

Just quotin' :)

[Tenucha]

@kermitthefrog512 I miss the Country Trio (Henson/Oz/Hunt) Muppet Band :(

@Stulz: I'm saying that Obama is the first president to have truly grown up on Sesame Street. That said, you'd think he'd be for giving PBS more funding instead of cutting back on it, thus forcing Sesame Street to only do a handful of episodes per year (nowadays, the dwindling cast--both human & Muppet--is so small that Elmo's oversaturation seems almost necessary to keep the show going [because the show was cancelled elsewhere--ex: the UK--before Kevin Clash became director]).

[Stulz]

@TherealRNO "In fact, despite your political stance, Obama is the 1st president weaned/raised on Sesame Street!" Sorry, I'm confused by this. I'm not trying to be political, especially since I'm for Pres. Obama.
