Couldn't We Ride

Music and Lyrics by Joe Raposo.

In this song from The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Miss Piggy take a bike ride in a park. Ecentually, Kermit decides to do a few tricks, such as riding without his hands on the bars, riding with one foot on the seat, and a hand stand, the last of which causes him to get stuck in a tree, and he falls into the basket in Miss Piggy's bicycle. At the end of the song, they are joined by other muppets and people on bicycles.

Brian Henson helepd make this scene, which required an elaborate marionette device to have the muppets ride the bicycles. a very invisible wire was tied to Kermit and Piggy's bikes, and the group of bikes at the end are all tied togetehr by invisible wires which were pulled by two large tricycles that can be seen very far into the background. Brian Henson rode one of them.
