Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas - 1977



Primarilly aired on HBO, here comes part two of the three-part Muppet posts. This is by far one of my greatest memories of childhood. Every year at around Christmas time, I recall going to the local Chuck E. Cheese's for food and fun, then coming right home to cue up HBO to enjoy Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. This became an every-year tradition, and I always loved watching this feature when I was growing up, and I still enjoy it just as much as I did back then. Here is the music that came from the feature, plus an unused song is included: Born In A Trunk, which was sung by one of the characters during the Talent Show sequence that was never used in the original feature. Another interesting song in this lineup is the remix of The Bathing Suit That Grandma Otter Wore. In the feature, one of the lines from the song was dropped, but it's been included in this remixed version.
