First of all: I really love the Snowths. I Always did. Their facial expression is priceless. Maybe I should work on getting a portrait session with them? And I think that portrait should be in an oval frame.

So, I was not aware, that this song actually debuted in 1969 on both, the Muppets Show and on Sesame Street.

This song was written by Piero Umiliani . And it appeared the first time in the Italian movie "Svezia, inferno e paradiso" (Sweden: Heaven and Hell) - a "documentary" about the wild, sexual behaviour and other activities in Sweden (Wikipedia). This film is documented in two to five minute snippets on youtube as well, which might be worth checking out...

Now, what I am wondering is, what business has a Muppets Director/Producer watching those kind of movies and producing child proofed content at the same time, eh? I really wonder what he (or she) was thinking that night when the video was flickering across his TV screen and he heard this song in this type of movie. How has your brain to look like (or, act like) to make the connection from that sound track in that movie to innocent puppets performing in a kids show? Come to think of it: is there a particular reason for the Snowths' facial expression? Could it be that even the puppet designer/maker watched the same movie? Or, even worse, Jim Henson himself watched it and came up with this? How dare they? Dirty bunch!

Well, thank good for Ernie and Bert, Sponge Bob and, I guess, the two Snowths.... Enjoy the show.
