- Rowlf, Ol' Brown Ears is Back (1993)
Halfway Down the Stairs, based on a poem by A.A. Milne, was Robin's only significant performance during the first season of The Muppet Show, before he became known as Kermit's nephew. It's basically a sweet little song that Robin sang while sitting in the middle of a flight of stairs.
The tune was written by Harold Fraser-Simpson, who put many of Milne's poems to music.
This song was included in The Muppet Show Episode 110: Harvey Korman, and for some reason this sequence was refilmed for a few different countries. It was also redone for an appearance on Top of The Pops. This song was included in The Muppet Show (LP) and then released as a single, which made it to the top 10 in England. it would later be included in The Best of The Muppets (CD), and Rowlf the Dog would go on to sing a cover of this song in his album, Ol' Brown Ears is Back (CD).
It was also included in the Playhouse Video: Children's Songs and Stories with The Muppets.
