Muppets and Harry! A cute video clip of Scooter from the
Muppets singing Harry's Six String Orchestra
is available at Hollis Hodetz's web site. Have a look at his Muppet's song page

(I actually had to copy it to my hard drive to play it.) Did you notice the
subtle change in lyrics? This is also now commercially available on DVD and VHS.
