+ | This episode is adapted from the 1975 album ''[[Bert & Ernie Sing-Along]]''. It was written by [[Joseph A. Bailey]], who later recalled: |
||
− | *While he tries to take a relaxing bath, [[Bert]] is bothered by [[Ernie]] who decides to bring a piano into the bathroom so he can have a sing-along. Despite Bert's protests, more and more people arrive to join in the sing-along! |
||
+ | {{Quote|The Bert & Ernie Sing-Along album just started with an idea from [[Jon Stone]] to do, well, a sing-along. I was watching a lot of [[the Marx Brothers]] in those days. So, an idea hit me to do a riff on the state room scene from ''A Night at the Opera''. ...Since a record album is basically a radio show, I could make it as outrageous as I wanted. And then, Jon liked it so much we did a video version of it on ''Sesame Street''. That was quite a production!<ref>[[The Muppet Mindset]] - [https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/interview-with-muppet-writer-joseph-bailey/ Interview with Muppet Writer Joseph Bailey]</ref>}} |

− | *[[:Category:Sesame Street Stories|Story]]: [[Maria]] tells the story of "[[The King's Problem]]". The King has a problem, and the tallest, smartest, and fastest people in the kingdom think that they can solve it. The problem is that his crown fell under his throne, but none of them can reach it. The King realizes that the smallest person in the kingdom can fit underneath the throne and reach it. The smallest person in the kingdom retrieves the crown, and saves the day. {{eka|0407}} |
