Heather Ferreira's Sunshine Again - The D Song

The song starts after some stuff you've seen. This is another flow test to see if the show "flows along right" onscreen. It's dedicated to two folks - Nantoreturns, who likes a good Hensonesque puppet sketch when he sees one, and mstatz, who does too. I'd like to change the background on this clip for several reasons, but it's pretty much green screen composited in there tight and even Vegas couldn't save it. Later, we'll have another go at it and rebuild the segment completely from the green screen raw footage. Until then, here it is: with the character key generation it's deserved and hasn't gotten til now... the Nip and Santa Fe Dave "D" Song. Henson purists, ENJOY!

Yes effing yes! You've captured it in this D segment. My hat's off to you Heather!

Oh and Santa Fe and Albuquerque are both in NM, right? (wink wink nudge nudge)

[raposofan]

They are. I love the beef jerky jive turkey line. I wrote the darn thing and still laugh every time I watch this.

I just loved your performance as Dave. Especially that rap with all those D words. And Paul's performance as Nip was great too. Especially the Duran Duran remark. I could watch this clip many times. :)

[raposofan]

Now you guys who like this need to have children so they can watch it too ;)

[raakone]

Nice, I like it. And "Dave" reminds me of a certain...uh...over-enthusiast­ic Muppet from somewhere...*laughs* DELIGHTFUL!

Dave tested well - and he will "d"efinitely be back for more series segments!

This brings the words down-syndrome, and dysintery to mind. Just sayin' dro.

Get your copy of SUNSHINE AGAIN on DVD as soon as it turns 2010!

"Hey pawn shop!" Very catchy, I like Dave's parts the best.

[raffvids]

Great!

Who are the musicians?

[ISNorden]

"D" is for "darn, you're good" too...eat your heart out, Kevin Clash!

[skippyshorts]

So...you made the video. Good job. It is nice to see it come to life. Long live the letter D

[ahlby]

Any song that includes Duran Duran and deliberate in its lyrics is, well, dynamite. Thanks again Raposo fan.

[mokeystar]

This is hilarious! Great job, raposofan and pals! "Sure I do. Deliberate!" Heh heh.

[lenanirocksalot]

I really like it. I am going to show my kids so they can experience the same quality videos I did as a kid on the good, old, quality sesame street (before they messed it up with all the computer stuff)

This skit is both good for kids and adults because kids learn about the letter D in this song and the adults get to laugh at the classic "hipster and square" dynamic.
