the song goes through the alphabet 3 times. Kermit joins in the second time.
the 3rd time around, Kermit sings lyrics with the words cleverly arranged alphabetically.

"From 1987. Kermit the Frog and Ladysmith Black Mambazo perform an amazing song by Joe Raposo."

Joe Raposo was such a great composer. The fact that he used his talent to write songs for kids just makes him that much cooler in my book.

Strange fact- Jim Henson died on the day that the Joe Raposo memorial tribute aired on PBS. Don't ask why I remember that.

i'll bet it was fun. jim henson, joe raposo, & lady blacksmith mambazo all hanging out. i want to be in that room.

the set on this video is huge. even the "extras" like the turtle and bullfrog are singing. i think a bird and a butterfly fly by, too. there's a lot going on in that scene. i can't imagine what it looked like underneath, with everybody in sync, masters of puppets.
