"'''Do-Op Hop'''" is, appropriately, a doo-wop song sung by [[Kermit the Frog]] on ''[[Sesame Street]]''. The music video takes place on a countryside setting featuring Kermit as the main singer and two cows from the band [[How Now Brown and the Moo Wave]] as background singers. Some other animals are seen in the background during the main chorus and are supposedly trying to hop like Kermit (which is really the puppeteers tossing the animals into the air). At the end, Kermit himself is tossed so crazily that his bottom ends up high in the air (see picture).

The on-screen title differs from the legal name registered with ASCAP.

"Do-Op Hop" is, appropriately, a doo-wop song sung by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street. The music video takes place on a countryside setting featuring Kermit as the main singer and two cows from the band How Now Brown and the Moo Wave as back-up singers. Some other animals are seen in the background during the main chorus and are supposedly trying to hop like Kermit (which is really the puppeteers tossing the animals into the air). At the end, Kermit himself is tossed so crazily that his bottom ends up high in the air (see picture).

An a capella version was also sung in the Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration! video, although Kermit was not one of the singers.

Notes

  • Although the song is legally titled "Do-Op Hop", in Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street the on-screen MTV-style captions spell it as "Doo Wop Hop".
  • The captions' faux album and label credits list I'm Green and I'm Proud and Polywog Records.
  • Lyrics to this song were released on a songbook in the original release of the "Count It Higher" VHS.
