The MuppetCast - Show #46 - Macho, Macho Pigs

[stephenjlizard]

Hey Count,

1. Somebody sent it to me a long time ago. I wish I could remember who. I'm still rooting thru email archives trying to figure it out.

2. Thought so.

3. I've never seen the Raggedy Ann & Andy movie. I wouldn't mind seeing it, though.

4. I don't know what all versions of "A Little Bit" exist. I wouldn't doubt that a version starring the people you mentioned exists. Send it my way if you find it! And...really, not "Muppy"? It rolls off the tongue so easily! Saying "M-U-P-3" sounds so weird. Saying "Muppy-3" sounds...well, so Muppet-y! I think I might have to lead the charge on that one. "Muppy-3: A Change (in pronunciation) we can believe in".

5. I figured a lot of people outside the continental US can't access it, so that's why I've been featuring them in the intros. Plus, it's new Muppet material, and it's GOLD!

6. Strong G, like prawny says below.

7. Hmm, I hope they get that worked out.

8. Let me know how things look in SD!

9. No idea, but I bet a PM to her would do the trick.

10. You betcha!

OK... Thanks, will correct the pronunciation on "gelfling" for my reader. And we don't call them "M-U-P 3s", we call them Mup3s precisely to make it sound Muppety versus the old standard MP3. You know, Mup, as in short for Muppet? Like KMUP-TV, the station where Muppets Tonight broadcasted from?
*Sighs... Subtle Muppet references, it takes a very well-trained eye to spot them. Even some of these escape the best of us in the fanfic readings.

At any rate, take care and enjoy your trip buddy.

I've always pronounced it that way too, Steve. "Muppy 3". Actually more like "Mup P3". Sounds right, not so awkward. I guess it really doesn't matter here though, since we all spell it the same way and we know what it means.

I'm going with MUP.P.3 !

4 Isn't there a version of "A Little Bit" with some female recording superstar and the Sesame duck?

Yes, there is. I think the singer's name is spelled Layla Salonga, and she sang it in episode 3154. She sang it at a Birdkateer meeting, to a duck who wanted to be a good singer.

minor muppetz, it's LEA Salonga. I only know this because I've seen her several times. She was the singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, and she was in Miss Saigon. I think she was also Eponine in Les Miserables at some point.

So I had a lull in packing and such, and snapped a quick pic of me, about 6 hours away from turning 30. Whaddya think?

Happy Birthday Steve!
