I love the muppets

He really is a great banjo player. Good find.

Sodomy on the Muppets?

I was expecting Miss Piggy to squeal.

The song is called "Dueling Banjos"

/Oh death and murder and grief and sorrow
//obscure?

mysticcat: //obscure?

Not to those of us with taste.

Happiness was lying on a deck chair in the sun on my suite's balcony on a Carribean cruise ship, listening to Born Standing Up, as read my the author, on my iProduct.

He basically reads the book as if telling a long-ass story - t'was great.

Damn, I might have to go to iMerchant and buy that.

I see your Steve Martin playing w/ the Muppet Jug Band and raise you Alice Cooper singing w/ the Muppet Monsters (new window)

Both have me deaf from the sheer awesomeness.

Actually, it's "Oh death and grief and sorrow and murder."

dudemanbro: He really is a great banjo player. Good find.

I didn't know that. I did find this over on Youtube.

The guy has some skills.

I must bookmark this.

Carry on.

Sure I'm pissed.

Bought that album in 6th/7th grade, my parents shockingly didn't smash it to bits when they heard it. In fact, I have all his comedy albums.

/Steve Martin's plan to be a millionaire
//First, getamilliondollars. Next, never pay taxes.

A couple more:

Ramblin' Guy on the Muppets

Stereo. Me. Bought.

Nope, Wesley was just using Steve's plan. He just didn't do the most important part. If you are ever asked why you didn't pay taxes on the million dollars, you are supposed to answer, "I forgot."

/Thanks for helping me finish the joke

I was expecting Opeth's "Deliverance", not Dueling Banjos.

Banjo nerd follow up to corrected title...

The correct title is 'Fueding Banjos', done my Don Reno and later recorded by Weismann as "Dueling banjos" for the movie.

Yup, Don sued and won over that one.

Well, this was well after Dave "Stringbean" Akeman's Clashing Banjos, an homage to the Medieval tune, Languishing Lutes.

Well, 'Languishing Lutes' was actually a remake of the classic caveman tune, "Battling Boulders" as originally writen and performed by Ugga 'Big Beard' Ugson

If there's only one banjo, can you really call it "Dueling Banjos?"

Winner!

On that same page is Johnny Cash singing with Miss Piggy. The weird thing is the rebel flag in the background. They would never do that in this day and age

Confabulat: If there's only one banjo, can you really call it "Dueling Banjos?"

I've been trying to find this out for years. Even with "Feuding" or "Dueling" it's always a banjo and guitar. I've never seen it done with two banjos.

/what's the sound of one banjo dueling?
//Martin's expression at 1:09 my favorite Muppet show moment ever
///Puppet + marionette = Muppet. You didn't know either.

Soooo I clicked on that thinking it was meant Deliverance (1972) directed by John Boorman. Basically, that was the complete opposite of what I thought it was going to be.... and I am still trying to figure out what I thought was going to happen if Martin and the muppets spoofed Deliverance..... and why I would click on it.

It does.

Did you forget the unspoken hero of the film?
