The Grand Medley

Fraggle Rock - Season 1 Episode 18 - The Minstrels - The Medley

[Cantus] orders Red to start the Medley with her song, but she tells him she doesn't have one. He becomes impatient with her and explains that all Fraggles have songs. Their songs are inside themselves and all they have to do is listen. Red stops and listens, and starts humming a short tune. She finally finds her song. The Medley begins, starting with Red, then Mokey, then Gobo, then Wembley, and more and more Fraggles start lending their voices little by little, and growing in harmony and lyrics to a grand song. Even Boober peeks out of his cubby hole and starts humming along with it. Everyone finishes the Grand Medley, Cantus looking very pleased.

@DairDubh I think they mispelled the grand melody it's not medley. LOL

@69MrGemini

Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines Medley as:

3 : a musical composition made up of a series of songs or short pieces

[DairDubh]

Isn't a medley a series of tunes played one after another? Playing them together like this would be a round or canon.

[anlashokna]

In music, a medley is a piece composed from parts of existing pieces, usually three, played one after another, sometimes overlapping.

I don't like this song as much as others. Was this episode in the fraggle search and find?

[anlashokna]

I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'fraggle search and find'.

[CelineK18]

Cantus is my favorite Fraggle

[nessamaine]

JUST WONDERFUL...Red finds her own song...finds out who she is and that what she creates is right and beautiful for her... Mokey's song - LOL - Doo doo doo...doo doo doo... and Wembley...Bing boing boing bing boing boing...LOL! Even Boober finds his song...My favorite episode EVER! We miss you so much Jim Henson...RIP...xo peace.

Ah the memories!

I still occasionally use the phrase "I fear I'm losing my implacable calm..."

[NeverTheSame29]

i didnt quite care for Gobo's part in the medley.  just sounded like he was dragging a bit.

[grski88]

This is a deep show. It proves that kids can handle depth and meaning in their entertainment. TV & Movie executives need to remember that.

[Miss65boo]

Love the Fraggles. May Jim Henson's creations live forever! Rest in peace Jim, you are very missed and will never be forgotten. What a legacy you have left us!!

@babymoondancer: Just like many shipped Red with Gobo, even before Red's--ahem--confession in an interview with SFX, seen here...
