An iconic Fraggle Rock song about the call of adventure.
"Follow Me" was sung by Traveling Matt and Gobo in Episode 101: Beginnings, then solo by Gobo in the same episode.
Matt and Gobo sang the song again in Episode 205: Uncle Matt Comes Home.
In Episode 315: Born to Wander, we see the origins of the song. Young Traveling Matt sings an upbeat version with modified lyrics ("I Will Follow You") to his idolized Uncle Gobo, and later sings "I Will Follow Me," which is closer to the version we know.
Finally, Gobo sings an abbreviated version of "Follow Me" in Episode 504: The Trial of Cotterpin Doozer, backed by the rest of the Fraggles.
"Follow Me" was first performed by Philip Balsam on his and Dennis Lee's audition tape for the show.
"Follow Me" was released on the 1983 Fraggle Rock LP and the 1993 Music & Magic CD. It also showed up in a Jim Henson retrospective montage at MuppetFest.
