Old Lyrics - Trouble Girl
TROUBLE GIRL
SO YOU’VE DECIDED NOT TO BREAK DOWN WITH ME,
YOU’RE GONNA LET GO OF THE GUNS.
YOU WANNA STAY WHERE YOU ARE NOW,
AND NOT COME HOME TO ME.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU THE LUCKY ONE?
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
HAVE A GREAT LIFE WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE TROUBLE GIRL
JUST DON’T FORGET I WAS ALMOST YOUR MAN.
SO NOW I LAY HERE IN THIS BED
WHERE LESS THAN A WEEK AGO
YOU LOOKED UP AT MY EYES AND SAID
“I want you to make love to me”
I CAN STILL HEAR IT IN MY HEAD.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
I HOPE YOU’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
FOR A WHILE I WAS CLOSE TO BEING YOUR MAN.
WELL, SINCE I’M THIS OLD AT HEART,
AND YOU’RE NOT SURE WHO YOU ARE,
WE’RE BETTER OFF KEEPING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
AND YOU’RE HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE.
ALL I GOT OUT OF US IS THIS SONG.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
STAY YOUNG FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
YOU’RE GONNA REGRET I WAS NEVER YOUR MAN
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
DON’T GIVE UP. LIVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
THERE’S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS ME TO BE HER ONE AND ONLY MAN.
SO YOU’VE DECIDED NOT TO BREAK DOWN WITH ME,
YOU’RE GONNA LET GO OF THE GUNS.
YOU WANNA STAY WHERE YOU ARE NOW,
AND NOT COME HOME TO ME.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU THE LUCKY ONE?
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
HAVE A GREAT LIFE WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE TROUBLE GIRL
JUST DON’T FORGET I WAS ALMOST YOUR MAN.
SO NOW I LAY HERE IN THIS BED
WHERE LESS THAN A WEEK AGO
YOU LOOKED UP AT MY EYES AND SAID
“I want you to make love to me”
I CAN STILL HEAR IT IN MY HEAD.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
I HOPE YOU’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
FOR A WHILE I WAS CLOSE TO BEING YOUR MAN.
WELL, SINCE I’M THIS OLD AT HEART,
AND YOU’RE NOT SURE WHO YOU ARE,
WE’RE BETTER OFF KEEPING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
AND YOU’RE HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE.

GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
STAY YOUNG FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
YOU’RE GONNA REGRET I WAS NEVER YOUR MAN
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
DON’T GIVE UP. LIVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
THERE’S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS ME TO BE HER ONE AND ONLY MAN.

None of Our Business...
In the past 25 minutes I have gotten 20 emails and too many texts to count about this Kevin Clash scandal/debacle...
He admits to a relationship with this man, an adult relationship. And denies doing anything with him as a minor. I believe him. Mr. Clash is not a fool.
I don't care if he's gay, straight, bi-sexual, or into aliens from space. That's his thing. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with his talent and his ability to teach and bring joy as Elmo and other characters. And a leave of absence is not admitting guilt, it's the smart and professional thing to do while the lawyers sort it out.
This is all I will say about it. If you want more information please use this link -
http://www.sesameworkshop.org/our-blog/2012/11/12/sesame-workshops-statement-regarding-kevin-clash/
Kevin Clash has issued a statement saying,"I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter. I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was. I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation."
Good for you Mr. Clash, keep your head up and keep your heart strong.

Puppet Movie News (non-Elmwood stuff!)
So the ALF movie is a go at Sony...
But a CGI/Live Action mix?
I hope that means they will be using CGI to enhance the film, and not rely on it for ALF himself...
That would be a shame and insult.
Muppets 2 is still on it's way, with Bret McKenzie just signing on to write the music and talks of Christoph Waltz as a villain!
And after 7 years in development The Henson Company is still plugging at a Fraggle Rock movie (but not on a Dark Crystal sequel - thankfully) and last month announced new writers (the guys who wrote Rango!), kinda sad to see they aren't going with Cory Edwards anymore...

"Brothers"
Yesterday Mike and I went to Astoria to the Museum of the Moving Image to attended a tribute to Jerry Nelson.
Mr. Nelson passed away earlier this year, and this event was filled with joy, some tears, a suprise visit from Snuffy, and some laughs.
Since less than 300 people were there I feel like we got to be part of something rare, something beautiful...
Instead of telling you every little detail, I'm just going to share a video of Jerry as one of my favorite characters; Emmet Otter...

Old Lyrics - Beautiful Pallet
Beautiful Pallet
Don't hate me
Is what I had to say to her
What's my choice
Cradle it again
I wanna live in you, my
Crazy-train
I know you're not using me
So come and join the beautiful pallet
Can't get over me
The Hell you say
You man's over there
Not far away
I know I'm fun
Get that mess
Outta your head
And letitgo and join my beautiful pallet
You know I'm in love you you...
Don't hate me
Is what I had to say to her
What's my choice
Cradle it again
I wanna live in you, my
Crazy-train
I know you're not using me
So come and join the beautiful pallet
Can't get over me
The Hell you say
You man's over there
Not far away
I know I'm fun
Get that mess
Outta your head
And letitgo and join my beautiful pallet
You know I'm in love you you...

The OTHER Muppet movie from 2011...
"Being Elmo"
I realized this morning I never even really mentioned this amazing movie here yet...
Much like "The Muppets" that came out last year and brought the most famous puppets back to the big screen, there was also "Being Elmo"...
A much smaller film, with a bigger heart though.
The film documents puppeteer Kevin Clash's career and is simply inspirational. It's one of those little movies I keep re-watching for a smile...

Old Lyrics - The Best Hooker In Town
The Best Hooker In Town
I was only 13 years old
And didn't know how to do,
How to do those things they say
Make a man out of you
So a few friends of mine
Who were a little older than me
Took me to see a woman
And paid to make a man out of me
She said: "I can be your baby tonite,
Or maybe two.
Don't worry 'cuz I don't bite.
Unless you want me to."
She was the best hooker in town
She spun my teenage world around and round
The best hooker in town
She knew I'd never done it before, and showed me all around
It's been ten years since then,
I'm going gray at 23
Was at a diner the other nite
After 3 AM
And a friend of mine pointed out a waitress
Who had been staring at me
Discreetly I looked over
And her head turned away from me
And I heard those words in my head:
"I can be your baby tonite
Or maybe two.
Don't worry 'cuz I don't bite
Unless you want me to."
She was the best hooker in town
And there she was filling drunken college boys coffee
She was the best hooker in town
But she's got bills to pay, and the world keeps spinnin' around
I was only 13 years old
And didn't know how to do,
How to do those things they say
Make a man out of you
So a few friends of mine
Who were a little older than me
Took me to see a woman
And paid to make a man out of me
She said: "I can be your baby tonite,
Or maybe two.
Don't worry 'cuz I don't bite.
Unless you want me to."
She was the best hooker in town
She spun my teenage world around and round
The best hooker in town
She knew I'd never done it before, and showed me all around
It's been ten years since then,
I'm going gray at 23
Was at a diner the other nite
After 3 AM
And a friend of mine pointed out a waitress
Who had been staring at me
Discreetly I looked over
And her head turned away from me
And I heard those words in my head:
"I can be your baby tonite
Or maybe two.
Don't worry 'cuz I don't bite
Unless you want me to."
She was the best hooker in town
And there she was filling drunken college boys coffee
She was the best hooker in town
But she's got bills to pay, and the world keeps spinnin' around
