Obscure Muppet Moments

[mneme]

After many years, I've finally seen (and own) an obscure Muppet musical that I grew up listening to: The Frog Prince.

Much fun, and even quite a bit of found filk here (in particular, M'Im Inteen and "Frogs")--with much of the asthetic of The Court Jester, only with muppets. Most quotable (aside from songs):

"Robin, I'm sorry, but this is too hard for just two frogs."
"Kermit, you're right. We need more frogs!"

Ah, yes: Sweetums gonna hit and smash/turn old frog to Froggie Hash.

I'm not sure if it's comforting or frightening that I know the majority of the lyrics to the various songs off the top of my head even today, a good 30 years since I originally heard the album.

I know it's available on VHS, if one knows where to look. I should find myself a copy one of these days.

I've had N'Im Inteen and "Frogs" ("Sing out for the mud and sing out for the ooze...") running through my head near-continuously for the last few hours.

It's not, BTW, all that easy to find the video (though, obviously, possible). It's OOP (made in 1990, never re-issued), and took me two tries to buy from people selling through Amazon -- the first seller shipped a The Frog Prince box with another video inside it (to balance it out, the second seller shipped The Frog Prince out of the original box, so I now had a box to keep it in, and I did get a refund on the first sale).
