SS-SpinningWheel
Written by David Clayton-Thomas
Date 1968
Publisher EMI Blackwood Music Inc.

"Spinning Wheel" was a hit from the self-titled second album of Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1969.

In a Sesame Street insert, Gordon assists a "quiet" trio of Anything Muppets who perform the song. The band is comprised of Professor Goldfinch, Professor Hastings, and a Green drummer who also sang lead (Jim Henson). (First: Episode 0012)

The song was later performed by Teresa Brewer while Sweetums pushes her on a swing in episode 222 of The Muppet Show. The set decoration is reminiscent of Jean-Honoré Fragonard's painting The Swing.
