@70Kenny - The song is "When I'm Not Near the Girl That I Love", from "Finian's Rainbow". Jim Henson did a lot of collaborating with Raymond Scott (a bandleader & composer best known for composing the really cool backing music used in classic WB and "Ren & Stimpy" cartoons). However, Scott was also an electronics engineer, who invented amazing synthesizers. Whenever you hear synthesized tones on early "Sesame Street" segments, you're hearing Scott's work.
@jtomally9681 - Yes it is. This is the original ending, which a lot of kids thought showed the ball being killed in the grinder. So, after only airing a few times, the segment was pulled, and the ending was changed to the one with the 3 cherries dropping onto 3 sundaes.

@OofusTwillip I don't know what you're talking about because I saw this ending all the time and the three cherries ending I saw rarely.
