Hypothetical music question
If Bruce Forsyth were to come on Sesame Street and sing his song "I'm Not Anyone," which muppet would you like to see him sing it with.

Re: Hypothetical music question
Were Sesame Street characters also called Muppets? I guess they were, I've just never thought about them that way.
As such, I've gone for Kermit as he's the only one I think of as a "Muppet" and the one most likely to feel that he is "Not Anyone" if he was hanging around with Sesame Street people.

I always thought they were, then somebody in an argument convinced me that they weren't. But it turns out I was intuitively right!Matt Morrison wrote:Were Sesame Street characters also called Muppets? I guess they were, I've just never thought about them that way.
I voted Big Bird but I don't really know why.

Re: Hypothetical music question
I went for Big Bird because Kermit pisses me right off, and Cookie Monster depresses me.

Which means the Cookie Monster vote must have been Charlie.

Re: Hypothetical music question
I went for CM too - does he sing like a death metal vocalist?

Re: Hypothetical music question
I see most of you voted for Big Bird!
Cookie Monster would probably sing, "Me Not Anyone" anyway.
Charlie, I will not post any more new topics this month.

Yep - the Muppet Show was a spin-off from Sesame Street.Matt Morrison wrote:Were Sesame Street characters also called Muppets? I guess they were, I've just never thought about them that way.

Re: Hypothetical music question
But the Muppet Show was canceled. Sesame Street is still going strong here.

Re: Hypothetical music question
Superb. A couple of our best friends arranged for that to be played at their civil partnership - one more layer of meaning added to an already richly textured song. Not a dry eye in the house.Andy Wilson wrote:I voted Kermit but only because I'd wait til the end and insist he follow it up with this

Re: Hypothetical music question
Is there anywhere online I can hear this song? I'm pretty intrigued. I have a mate who does a great Kermit impression too so I could totally hook you up with a make believe duet.Jason Larsen wrote:If Bruce Forsyth were to come on Sesame Street and sing his song "I'm Not Anyone," which muppet would you like to see him sing it with.

EDIT: Oops, sorry, it was the other thread about Bruce's songs, in the "Other game shows" forum I think.
