JUDY COLLINS and The Muppets - "Leatherwing Bat" 1977

[@dhsaunders4185]

One of the all time greatest voices, poignant and clear, nobody can sing quite like the angelic Ms Collins...

[@4a8p9x]

Another of my top ten Muppet Show guest star moments. I find this sequence to be haunting, yet beautiful. The muppets were experts in creating scenes that evoked feelings like that.

[@TorontoJediMaster]

Definitely. And I loved the little interaction where the bat asks her to find out what the chorus means and she says she will.

[@astridkitty1212]

This is one of my favorite songs from the Muppet Show. The bat, woodpecker and owl are all cute! That owl is a wooden prop puppet that was also used in an animal shelter skit on this show.

[@maxwestcomics]

Probably one of the best songs they did on the Muppet Show.

[@Aster_Iris]

For those who would like to skip the intro, the song starts at 0:54. Hope it helps! ^_^

I have to give special props to any performer who goes on stage with the Muppets.

I preferred this tune and rhythm of the song rather than the original. Although I wish they sang the full song and lyrics

[@pendafen7405]

My Grandmother sang this to me when I was a kid.

[@Montork]

crazy harry would have never been made in todays world..

[@beepboopbop1566]

her voice is AmAZinG!!

[@TorontoJediMaster]

What *made* the Muppets skits was that the hosts always sold it. They always acted liked they were performing opposite actual pigs/frogs/ etcetera. 👍🏻

[@C6H12B26]

in the french version " hmm " said by Piggy is translated " Faut aimer ... " meaning " you have to love ... " sure, we love Judy Collins ! Great thanks.

[@oldscoolgaming6700]

0:13 Crazy Harry was certainly right! He is pretty funny.

[@katangel115]

I wish Paul Peter and Mary sang this with the Muppets.

[@antoniawiseman1207]

Harold the Woodpecker became a regular castmember on the show, but his little bat buddy got left on the cutting room floor, didn't he?

[@IZEASGT]

0:48 No, HER.

[@peteryoung6738]

Lol

[@EsmeAmelia]

One person doesn't know what how-de-dow-diddle-um-day means.

[@matchbox420.]

this is fucking epic

[@glennorange]

Was this originally a Peter, Paul, & Mary song?

[@Amp389lanG]

No, this is an English folk song, and supposedly the first American record of it was Burl Ives' version recorded for "Okeh" records in the 40's-many artists have sung it including a variation by Peter, Paul and Mary on their "Peter, Paul, and Mommy LP".
