Riverbottom Nightmare Band - Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas

Riverbottom Nightmare Band - Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.
Behold the greatest band of all time!
Following an introduction by Kermit the Frog, the story tells of Emmet Otter and his Ma, a widow who scrapes by on the small amount of money she gets from doing laundry and that Emmet gets from doing odd jobs around their home in the town of Frogtown Hollow despite both of them often being cheated. Some of the people who cheated them are Old Lady Possum and Gretchen Fox (the wife of Mayor Harrison Fox) of Waterville. As Christmas approaches, they hear of a talent contest in the nearby town of Waterville with a grand prize of $50, and separately decide to enter to buy store-bought presents for each other: an elaborate guitar for Emmet or a piano for Ma. However, in a twist on The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry, they must sacrifice each other's livelihood for the talent contest. Ma hocks Emmet's tools for dress fabric while Emmet turns Ma's washtub into a washtub bass for a jug band. Emmet assembles Wendell Porcupine, Harvey Beaver, and Charlie Muskrat as the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug Band.
Emmet and Ma each do an excellent job (despite Emmet's jug band having to frantically change songs after another contestant performs their song, Bar-b-que), only to be defeated at the last minute by a rock and roll band called The Riverbottom Nightmare Band, which comprises a hoodlum gang from the fairly distant town of River Bottom made up of Chuck Stoat, Fred Lizard, Howard Snake, "Pop-Eyed" Catfish, and Stanley Weasel. However, as the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug Band sing a song together on the way home (more accurately, both of their talent show songs together after Ma realized they fit together), they are overheard by Doc Bullfrog (owner of a local restaurant called the Riverside Rest) who hires them to sing for his customers. This grants them the bigger prize. Kermit concludes the special with Emmet, Ma, and the gang playing in front of Doc Bullfrog and the customers.

This is one of the few shows that I can remember, where the "villians" won fair and square. They didn't cheat. They were just better. A great lesson for young kids to learn. You won't always win.

[@DorkLords]

So true! I'm a fan of the fact that the Riverbottom Nightmare Band didn't cheat to win. They played their song at the appointed time, won the prize money, and went home. They were jerks, but they rehearsed a great song!

[@timothysanniola8922]

They got lucky though, they shouldn’t have been allowed to enter cause they were late. But still, they were the best

[@KairuHakubi]

it helps that the stakes aren't some orphanage needing funds, but just a kid and a mom who both foolishly squandered their christmas present buying money and hoped a miracle would bail them out.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

IIRC the prize in the show was only $50. It shows true heeldom by the Riverbottom Gang to spend MULTIPLE times that money to buy costumes, instruments, and waste gas to get to the show at the last minute to play one song with the sole purpose of denying Emmett's band the money. And that's really motivation that is seldom seen in movies these days: The bad guy saying, "I don't care how much I lose, just as long as YOU LOSE".

[@DorkLords]

Great point! 😃 (and yes, the prize was $50)

[@tapoemt3995]

Because us left handers are the only ones in our right minds! :)

[@kenthuang436]

Most of the performers are right handed so the rods for the hands are controlled by the Muppeteer’s left hand. Annie Sue from The Muppet Show was one of the few right handed Muppets because her performer was left handed. She is probably the best known right handed Muppet.

[@kenthuang436]

Honestly this is the best song in the entire special. The other songs are okay but really forgettable. I mean I know there’s that one with Ma and Emmet on the lake but can never remember how the tune goes thirty seconds after it ends and that Barbecue song which I keep think sounds differently than it really is. But this song I remember perfectly.

[@DorkLords]

True - it is the catchiest/most memorable tune in the show. Though I do have a soft spot for the Barbeque song - fun, up tempo jugband tune - I'm a sucker for the washboard! 🙂

They should have made the nightmare band full-blown criminals.

Other than stealing a scarf from Kermit in the cold open, they didn't do anything illegal. The nightmare band should have been much more malicious and villainous.

It is a interesting story choice. As you indicated, I totally expected them to cheat their way to victory - but no - they were jerks, but they actually practiced, acquired some production value, and played the catchiest song at the talent show.

Great question! I found this quote from the wiki: "The special utilizes a number of different puppetry methods. The main puppets used are the usual Muppet hand puppets, but the characters are frequently represented by marionettes as well. It also utilizes the Black Theater techniques. This is also one of the first Muppet productions to use radio control puppet effects, designed by Faz Fazakas."
