Sesame Street luvs educational song parodies so Dave Matthews and Grover sang to kids about depression. If you had to sing with a Muppet, what would you like to talk to kids about through the power of song? And which Muppet would assist you?
It would have to be Miss Piggy, and we’d do a number about body positivity and loving yourself for who you are. I’m thinking full on Fred Astaire - top hats, tails, canes, the works. We take a line each with short tap sequences between verses.
“Like yourself for who you are. If you don’t you won’t get far. See the good in those around you. You never know, they may astound you.”

(we each hold up heavily airbrushed advertising pictures handily placed inside our top hats) “No one’s perfect you can bet. What you see ain’t what you get. Love yourself like others do. They see the good inside of you.”

“It’s not a ‘like’ it’s not a ‘smile’ that help to make your day worthwhile. It’s being true, it’s being kind that leaves the haters far behind.”

“Be yourself and don’t be shy to let your freak out, let it fly!”

“Show them who you really are. Then in life you will go far. A pig in pearls is never wrong, so dance with us and sing along.” jazz hands
I'm upset about this, Snuffalaphagus was clearly the one who should have been talking about depression...anyway, Cookie Monster and I would do dueling banjos except it would be for desserts, I would be pie and he would be cookies and we'd go back and forth until we compromise on a pie with cookies for a crust - very important lesson for the kids
Me and Oscar. Doing a quick history review of how music was since ancient times, Oscar singing me commenting. As you know I cannot sing. I have a scarecrow effect when singing, so since we're not here to scare children, no singing from me.
big bird, and STD's :)
