Two very cute ads created by Jim Henson in 1967, two years before he started work on Sesame Street. Although Henson had been working with puppets since the late 50's (and one of his short films was Oscar nominated in 1966) it's still interesting to see how developed the muppet style already was in these ads.

Muppets, period drama, and "Maggie Smith"... this is what all of Bunny's dreams look like.

... and that seems like a good excuse to post this clip again. Big Bird singing at Henson's memeorial service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. It remains one of my all time favourite clips on YouTube - sweet, moving, sad, and wonderful.

I've been cackling like a lunatic here watching this again.
Of course it probably has more resonance for me than some of you because I have always been a "water baby" (every night I dream about breathing under water, which for years I thought everybody did till I found out that they don't!) and I loved all the Esther Williams "aquamusicals" when I was a kid. To this day I can remember the AGONY and the SUSPENSE of watching her swimming unconcerned in the giant glass tank at the end of Million Dollar Mermaid, not knowing what we know: that the glass is cracking! Get out of the tank Esther! GET OUT!! And then the horror - the HORROR - when she is swept out through the jagged glass!
But back to Piggy. I don't know why but the part where air comes out of her nose makes me howl.

The Wicker Man is one of my favourite movies. (The original with Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland I mean of course, and not the travesty of a remake starring Nicholas Cage) And who doesn't love The Muppets so A Muppet Wicker Man sounds like a genius idea. It's a comic, described as "bad puns, paganism and the smell of burning felt..." which you can read online HERE. And to whet your appetite there's a great trailer:

Regulars at the shows in Pantibar will know Liam The Puppet Guy as, well, the puppet guy. But Liam also hosts a radio show on Dublin City FM every Wednesday from 2-3pm called The Musical Hour which is all about, yes, you guessed it, musicals!
On Wednesday Feb 15th he's combining his two passions and doing a Muppet special, featuring songs from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, the Muppet Movies and more in a celebration of Jim Henson's creations. And Pantibar's very own Bunny will also feature on the show sharing her memories and lifelong love of the Muppets. And I'm being kind when I say "lifelong love". It's actually a slightly worrying obsession. I've been in her flat. It's verging on creepy. There are Muppets and Muppet memorabilia everywhere. Muppets and drag stuff. It's the very home rabid anti-gay nuts think of when they imagine a gay home. Full of cross-dressing paraphernalia, and puppets to attract small innocent children, like a gay drag Child Catcher.
The Musical Hour Muppet Special is on 103.2 Dublin City FM or can be streamed live at www.dublincityfm.ie

But just in case you haven't already seen Kermit and Miss Piggy at a London press conference promoting their new movie being asked about the Fox News pundit who accused the movie, and the Muppets, of pushing "a liberal agenda"...

You probably didn't know that the Muppet classic Mahna Mahna, the first version of which went out on the first season of Sesame Street in 1969, but which is best remembered as it was performed on The Muppet Show in 1976...
... was originally written and recorded for a 1968 Italian "soft core" documentary about the sexy shenannigans of the sexy Swedes called Sweden: Heaven And Hell. The documentary is just an excuse to show lesbians, wife swapping, drugs and other titillating goings ons. The song was used in a scene where a group of sexy Sedish girls go in a sexy group to have a sexy sauna wrapped in sexy towels. Well, I guess it was sexy in 1968, but now it all seems very tame and perfectly safe for work.
Slate Magazine has the full story of the Muppet's most enduring and catchy ditty.
(thanks Chris)
