Well, apparently I’m not alone. I felt so validated when Ryan confirmed this episode existed because part of me thought that I might have dreamed the whole thing up. ![]() By the end of the sketch, Bert experiences the supernatural oddities of the statue for himself and rushes out. When a frightened Ernie repeatedly calls for help, Bert is convinced the statue’s antics are just in his pal’s imagination. While Ernie waits in the antechamber, a statue that looks exactly like him taps him and interacts with him in various ways. We were referring to a sketch where Bert and Ernie are exploring a pyramid together when Bert invites Ernie to check out a “spooky, dark tunnel” (way to sell it, Bert!) and Ernie declines. Ryan: Was it the one where Bert and Ernie were in a pyra– Me: OMG, I just remembered a Bert and Ernie sketch that terrified me as a– I don’t remember what sparked the memory, but like a bolt of lightning, I got chills (bolts of lightning get chills, right?), and a conversation much like this ensued: I hadn’t thought about Sesame Street sketches in decades when my husband (Tough Pigs’ own Ryan Roe) brought the show back into my life early in our relationship. What you might not expect to hear is “terrified,” “creeped out,” or “plagued with nightmares,” yet this is exactly how one particular 1982 Sesame Street sketch left me–and seemingly countless others–feeling.

Both "Doin' The Pigeon" and "Has Anybody Seen My Dog?" have overextended instrumental outros (the former's is broken up with one more singing of the chorus by the girls), possibly to help pad the album's sides."Has Anybody Seen My Dog?" - Marty & Grover (Cookie Monster makes a brief cameo.)."C Is For Cookie" - Cookie Monster & The Girls (preceded by a conversation between Cookie Monster and Robin Gibb)."Rubber Duckie" - Ernie & His Rubber Duckie."Doin' The Pigeon" - Bert & The Girls (preceded by a short hidden track that features Bert and Ernie debating the dance craze)."Sesame Street Fever" by Robin Gibb, Bert, Count von Count, Big Bird, Ernie, Cookie Monster.Singles of "Sesame Street Fever"/"Trash" and "Doin' the Pigeon"/"Rubber Duckie" were released as promotional items.Ī follow-up album, Sesame Disco! was released in 1979.
