    While we're talking about Beatles songs, "Ticket to Ride" would be a good song for Gobo and Wembley to sing together. On my dad's iPod, I heard Jim Croce's "It Doesn't Have to be that way" and I thought that would be a good song for Gobo to sing.

    Bwhahahaha! You're a genius, vettech28! I researched for "It Doesn't Have To be That Way and it is more like a Christmas song. Other than that, you have very good observations of what you want the Fraggles to sing. Great job!

    Wow! Actually, vettech, I hadn't heard "It Doesn't Have to be That Way" before but I looked it up and I can see why you chose Gobo for this song. They have that same nasal quality (That sounds like it's not a compliment, but it is!) It's sort of Cat Stevensy though my very first impression of this song was.....
    Glenn Yarborough's little ditty for The Hobbit. *snerks* The man that swallowed a lamb....In case you haven't had the pleasure...Oh please, allow me.

    I love that song! Beatiful! Inspiring! Amazing! I heard the song, "Across The Universe" by the Beatles before. Love it!!!

    Isn't it great!?And isn't it the perfect blend of introspection, poetry and serenity that Mokey does best!?
  7. muppetfan24/7 Well-Known Member

    Oh yes! Yes! It is perfect for Mokey! Oh wow! Thank you for posting! (chuckles)!

    Hah! You're almost starting to sound like me. ^____^

    I want Red to sing Moon River.

  10. bandit Well-Known Member

    Once again, maybe not all the lyrics work here but some of them as well as the imagery work pretty well for Red. The tune alone though, stands out as a good one for her...
    To which song am I referring, you might ask? As If By Magic by LaRoux. If you haven't seen the video....DO so. Marvel at her outrageous cupie doll hair and phenomenally large feet. Oh yeah and the song's pretty great too.

    Also, the Robots In Disguise song Turn It Up has a decidedly 'Other Fraggles' feel to it. All that is needed is the robotic HA-HA-HA...HEE-HEE-HEE-HO-HO-HO. Go Beige!

    I always thought that any song by James Taylor would be a good fit for Gobo like "Fire and Rain" or "You can close your eyes" with the other fraggles singing in harmony with him in other song by James Taylor.

    Okay! I am spilling it right now! I am a Beatles fan and I had this dream that Gobo Fraggle and Floyd were singing, "Blackbird" in a nice place. So, I thought the song Blackbird would probably fit nicely for Gobo maybe.

    Howe about Eric Carmen's All By Myself? I could imgine Wembley singing this song whenever he's alone. I understand nobody knows who Eric Carmen is, but I thought this song would fit perfect for Wembley than other Fraggles.

    I wil;l admit that I love listening to John Denver, Simon & Garfunkel, and other folk singers. I can definetely seeing that. LOL!

    *Bumping the thread... again.

    How about "Both Sides Now" sung by Mokey.

    Has anyone heard this song before? That inckludes you too, Plaid Fraggle.
  17. KissesToKermie Active Member

    Mokey singing "Tommorow" from Annie. Waddaya think? Too unbelievable?
  18. GopherCoffee Active Member

    Sidebottom singing, "Make 'Em Laugh", with more Sidebottom-ish lyrics.
  19. GopherCoffee Active Member

    World's Oldest Fraggle singing, "If I Could Keep Time In A Bottle," in one of his more solemn moods.
  20. GopherCoffee Active Member

    Mokey and Red singing, "Tu Me Gustas" to each other. (Maybe a little too sweet? I don't know.)
