"Back Front Song Muppet Opera" (alternately identified as "Muppet Opera Back Front Song")[1] is sung by the Anything Muppets to the tune of "The Blue Danube." Madame Schwartzhead, the lead opera singer, demonstrates the opposites. As the song gets faster, she turns back and forth more quickly as the back-up singers try to keep the pace.
Notes[]
- Vocalists for the song include Ivy Austin (as Schwartzhead's singing voice), Maeretha Stewart, and Kenneth Bridges. Puppeteers include Bob Payne.[2]
- The back-up singers are also seen in a Sesame Street News Flash segment where they wait in line for a sporting event. Both the news segment and Schwartzhead's song were produced during season 10 of the show, then aired the following year.[2]
