Oh, “W’s” grand as can be!

My friends recently lent me their collection of Muppets/Sesame St. records. I made a compilation tape of my favorite songs from it and have been listenign ot it (er, listening to it) for the last few days. I’ve had to do a lot of explaining about why I keep laughing, dancing, etc. I love it! One of my favorite songs is Bert singing about W.

“Even the Waffle House sign looks like a ransom note. There’s always a letter out. Occasionally it’ll be the W. So it’ll read Awful House.”
