Born in a Trunk

Editing I Was Born in the Trunk is a "lost song" written for, but not included in, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. The song was restored and released from the Henson vaults on the 2005 Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas: Collector's Edition DVD.

The song - a gaudy, Cabaret-like number - was originally intended to sung by the Music Store Owner at the talent show. The song was planned to contrast with her earlier, more reserved persona. Marilyn Sokol recorded the audio for the song (written by Paul Williams) but the song was later cut from the special before filming. Although the musical number didn't make it to film, the music store owner is still shown in her sequins and feathers running around backstage prior to the show.
