The lyrics are super easy. Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meep Meeeeeeeeeep Meep-Meep! :D

I would imagine the Swedish Chef rendition would sound something like... Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Bork Boooooooooooork Bork-Bork!

They did a fantastic job on this! :D I was really impressed with the quality of the singing. You don't expect something that polished from the Muppets! :viking: :lol:

Sheer genius! Love it. I have a Beaker the Muppet!! ! He has his own lab coat, plaid pants, and striped socks. I've brought Beaker to my lab. He's well behaved a good chemist. No wonder he's a classical musician.

Thank you kxmode - I am happy now.

now, if we had Beeker singing in chorus Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" it could be by Beethoven

Beaker doesn't actually talk; he just makes those mewling noises. The mad scientist to whom Beaker was an assistant on The Muppet Show, the green guy in the labcoat. He wore a pair of big goofy glasses but he didn't have any eyes! Oh horror! 8O That really messed me up as a kid, as did the fact that Beaker's mouth was just a gouge in his face.

And that blue eagle dude, I was ascairt of him, too! :lol:

As much as I love Bach, no!

There were way too many times in my childhood where I heard a Beethoven piece and was in love with it. I'd ask the nearest adult "Who's that playing piano?"

MOZART!

grrr...then later I found out all of those wonderful pieces were Beethoven. Not Mozart.




Mozart- (some say was on the spectrum. Great song by Mozart is Alla Turca or Turkish March. Mozart did marry.)

Image



Beethoven- (Always had a stern look and wasn't thought of as sociable or well groomed. Sometimes parents of the past would say their children weren't allowed to listen to his music. He wasn't the best at expressing love vocally and that is why nobody knew he had someone that he cared alot about until after he died. He never married.)

Image



Bach- (wonderful masterpieces especially from Well Tempered Clavier. I sometimes wonder if classical composers ever wondered what music of the future would be like. I bet they thought it would be even more intricate and just mind blowing. Hmm I think not. Bach married his cousin and had 7 kids. He had a second wife after his first wife died and had 13 kids.)
