Notes

• The "What's Your Name?" montage features footage from a few inserts, as well as from the original "Write Your Name" song and its cover in Episode 3470. As a result, all of the kids have new voices dubbing over them, with audio samples from the Muppet characters saying their name in previous appearances replacing their dialogue. Of particular note is that Brian Muehl's Telly Monster is used over footage from a Martin P. Robinson performance. Oscar's sample is derived from Episode 1316, while the Count's is from an older segment where he counts flowers.
