Story about this misheard lyric by: Peter I was shopping today at a Kroger here in Atlanta and this song came on, that I've never heard before and I could swear that Carpenter was singing the lyrics I misheard. I couldn't understand why some woman would want to be someone's Muppet or exactly which Muppet she wanted to be. I got this picture in my mind that she was singing the song to the late great Jim Henson. |
