Hahahahaha!

Get down with your bad self, Bert!

I love this song and this skit. It's the original that aired in 1973. Bert is so awesome, srsly. I always enjoy when you get to see the full body versions of the characters! :)

"See the one with feathers. Right behind...oh, you didn't see him. That was Bernie. He's really a character. I tell you."

I love this! Is Bernie like a mash up of Bert and Ernie?!?!? Like Brangelina? or Bennifer? ;)

My step mother and I ended up watching muppets videos on Youtube for quite a while after Thanksgiving dinner. good times. :)

I really think Bert needed to get out more. lol He had some of the oddest interests and collections. This song and dance always makes me giggle though. :)

What is it with these guys and birds? Bert and pigeons, Gonzo and chickens? Part of me is positive it's a reference to the 1930's British feminine monikers. I can't tell you how often I get called a bird in London.

Also--in showing my total supreme geekness about anything Muppet--I think this skit was the first time they did a full body shot for any Muppet. It's either this or a "The Muppet Show" moment when they do a leaping deer-like creature's ballet.

In further evidence Bert and Ernie and Big Bird are all hanging out on my Christmas tree right now and of course they are doin' the pigeon.
