(no subject)

I recently came across this video of a musical number from Jim Henson's first TV show, Sam and Friends. Like most musical numbers from that show, it consists of a group of Muppets miming to a record, in this case a Stan Freberg skit that starts as a straight song then goes farther and farther off the rails.

The remarkable thing about it is how well it works as a Muppet skit. (I guess that says something about where the Muppets get their sense of humour from.)
