Muppet Alphabet

I've been trying to get Sakura as hooked on the Muppets' Alphabet Album as my siblings and I used to be. There's a great page on it at the Muppet Wiki: The Muppet Alphabet Album. (Of course there's a Muppet Wiki. Don't be silly.) After listening to the CD version that Grandma and Grandpa found for us, I was tickled to have my memory prodded with this trivia about the original vinyl pressing:

On non-record editions of this album, the following section of dialogue has been cut from the end of side 2, after Big Bird says, "What's the alphabet?" and everybody groans:

Bert: Well, don't just sit there. Turn the record over and let's start again.

Big Bird: Hey, if they turn the record over, won't we all fall off?

Then the closing music plays, on all versions.

It's good to see that many of these songs are available in video form on YouTube, too:
