I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

A podcast led back to this.

First broadcast in 1980, Ernie's night-time moon-dream tune has re-appeared in many additional Sesame Street incarnations, with Wynton Marsalis and Aaron Neville. 

Ernie's voice on the original above? 

Of course.

It's Jim Henson. 

Three puppeteers are involved in Ernie's song, one of the rare occasions full body Muppets were seen on the show.  (2.30)

Clip: Sesame Street: I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
