"Long Time, No See" was performed by the Anything Muppets on Sesame Street.

A Green Anything Muppet (played by Jerry Nelson) enters a barber shop with a chorus of three friends. He explains to the barber that he hasn't seen any part of his body since 1962 due to his very long hair (only his nose is visible at first). With a chant of "snippety-snip!", the barber clips away and soon helps the boy see better. However, there's now another problem: by the end of the song, all his shorn hair has now piled onto his friends.

Notes[]
