I’m sure everybody remembers back in 1986 when Carol Channing was on Sesame Street; she sang the song “Hello, Sammy!”, obviously to Jim Henson’s Sammy the Snake, a funny “Hello, Dolly!” parody. Carol serenades Sammy as he coils himself around her arms; people have posted on YouTube that the skit is actually too inappropriate & that Carol & Sammy had a sexual kinda interaction; I find that just totally ridiculous. What do you guys think?

I honestly think you have too much of an obsession with this particular bit; you've been talking about it almost non-stop for years.
Its almost amazing how humans have evolved so that their brains are in their genitals.
Wouldn't that be more of a de-evolution? :wink:

Well if I wasn’t Autistic, then I wouldn’t be a Muppet fan, let alone be fascinated with that clip

It’s a product of the time, while it might be a little weird now it probably wasn’t that weird for the 80’s.

To be fair, Jim might have went a little overboard on the "Oh yes'!"

The thing I find more fascinating is how Sesame Street can somehow make the most bittersweet music out of banjos, bells and flutes.
