Behind the scenes, original clip

"Later word ik duiker" ("Somday I'll be a Diver"; sometims called simply "Duiker") is a Sesamstraat song sung by Ieniemienie, who dreams about being a scuba-diver when she grows up. She imagines wearing a diving suit, mask, and oxygen tank so she can explore the underwater world.

The original clip shows her singing on the beach and swimming underwater (YouTube). The fish and octopus seen in the underwater scene were borrowed puppets from the Muppet archives, not specifically created for the show. This is one of the first appearances of American Muppets in a 'Sesamstraat' sequence.

The song was later used over animation which shows a girl imagining becoming a scuba diver as she waits her turn in a swim lesson (YouTube).
