forgot about the muppets.

Well, I was rummaging through my mp3 collection today when I came across some muppets songs I had ripped. I had completely forgotten they were even in my collection. the song I listened to was "I hope that something better comes along". While listening I realized how much of the work Jim Henson did would be totally unacceptable on television today. From the opening line of "It looks like you need a drink." to some of the reproductive innuendo lines in the song.
It seems as though the more knowledge of alcohol and sex expands in the minds of both young and old, the more forbidden it is. I'm not sure if I prefer the knowledge, or if I'd prefer ignorance with acceptance of indulgance.

The other random thought was it would be a great song to hear Tom Waits do in a duet. Preferably with someone like Mike Patton who can produce such beautiful pure tones when he chooses to. Just for the contrast between the styles. I've always thought that Rawlf the dog would be much better if they hired Tom to do the voice.

The random play on my MP3 player then chose to play "Heart attak and Vine." I felt fully justified in my beliefs.
