Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

It sure is nippy out there, boy! Autumn is really here.

And though the seasonal metamorphosismoves me in a mysterious way,

I still mourn the lossof nature's abundance.

The garden, Sprocket. The garden. All our flowers and plants are dying,

but we still have the beautiful Lucindato gaze at over the long cold winter.

My Spathiphyllum! Sprocket, what have you done?

Lucinda was your responsibility.

Sprocket. Come on, don't cry. No, no. She's not dead yet.

No. Our Lucinda's a hearty specimen.

All she needs is a little encouragement.

And the way to give a plantthe will to live, is to talk to it.

It's true. I read itin a very interesting book.

It's true. I read itin a very interesting book.

It was called, You're Okayand Your Plant is Okay Too.

So, Lucinda, tell me about yourself.

No, this is not going to work, sol'll have to tell you something about me.

I was born not far from herein a sleepy little sea coast town.

Our house was a modest abode. Humble yet hospitable.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Well, when I was one, I remember...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,

-oh boy, oh boy... say "Oh-ah, oh-ah" in the background.

Not with your mouth full!

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray!

-Right?-Wrong.

Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie.

Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie. Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie.

Wembley! Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

I just love the Duetathon, don't you?

-Oh, yeah!-Of course we do.

Yes, yes, yes!

The Duetathon's a very meaningful event.

A time in when each Fragglepicks the perfect partner

-with whom to blend her voice in song.-Yes, yes. Perfect.

-A meeting of minds, a harmony of souls.-Yes! Yes!

A really neat contestthat we're gonna win!

-It's a lot of fun, too!-Sure. It's fun, Wembley.

-Yes!-But, you know, -it's also symbolic.-Yes!

That's why Red and I have written a songthat illustrates our friendship.

Yeah. Especially the partwhere the great warrior,

slays the dragon and turns itinto Doozer dust.

Red, Red, Red. I told youl didn't wanna sing about violence.

Violence? What's dragon slayinggotta do with violence?

So, Wembley, what are you and Gobogonna sing about?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, gee, I don't know. I mean, I've been so excited about the Duetathon,

Oh, gee, I don't know. I mean, I've been so excited about the Duetathon,

I forgot all about it. Gobo! Gobo!

Gobo! Gobo! Gobo! Gobo!

And one, two, three, four.

And two, two, three, four. And three, two, three, four.

When you can't find your wayAnd the going gets treacherous

I'll come save the dayAnd you'll never be

-Never be-Gobo, Gobo, Gobo, Gobo.

I don't know what we're gonna singin the Duetathon. What should I do?

Well, you can help me find a wordthat rhymes with treacherous.

Yeah. Why didn't I think of that? Let's see. Treacherous...

I got it, I got it! Pleacherous.

Wembley. Pleacherous isn't a word.

It's not?

Little Nephew Gobo.

Wow! Uncle Matt. What are you doing here?

I thought you were off exploringOuter Space.

Well, well, well. I was. But I came back for the Duetathon.

Well, well, well. I was. But I came back for the Duetathon.

Yes, you see, singing a duetwith my very own little Fraggle nephew,

will make me the proudest Fraggle... in the rock.

Forgive me.

Yeah. Uncle Matt, I'd be proud too. But, well, I'm gonna sing with...

With your Uncle Matt.

-I am?-Sure you are.

So, I guess, I'll be running along.

Hey, Wembley, wait a... Hey! Where are you going?

-Hey, Wembley!-What?

You don't think I'd let you down, do ya?

I think if you don't singwith your Uncle Matt

it'll break his heart, that's what I think.

Now get in there and start rehearsing.

-Yeah, but... March!

Nephew Gobo, come hither.

You see, I've written a song hereabout the very first time

that we went exploring. Look.

-Yeah, that looks interesting.-Yes.

The very first exploration in Outer Space.

I am not going to cry. I am not going to cry.

I am not going to cry. I am not going to cry.

I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.

I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.

Go ahead. I've never seen a Fraggle cry.

Wait. Fraggle. I didn't mean it.No. It was a bad idea.

A really bad idea.

-I'm not crying 'cause you told me to.-That's a relief.

I'm crying becausel did what I was supposed to do,

which was what I didn't want to do, but I knew I had to do it.

-And now I don't know what to do.-Got it!

-You do?-Sure, sure.

Happens to the best of us.

Well, of course not me, 'cause I'm a Doozer

with a very positive outlook on life.

I used to have one of those.

Yeah. That's 'causel never take no for an answer.

You never?

Never.

I mean, if one road is blocked, I take another.

I mean, if one road is blocked, I take another.

If one building is finished, I simply start another one.

If one drawing is no good, I make one that's better.

If one Doozer doesn't wannaplay rivetball,

-Yeah, thanks, thanks.-I find one that does.

If the helmet doesn't fit, well then I... What...

Hey! Where'd that Fraggle go to?

Just when I was getting to the good part.

If your mom makes you go to bed early, just dream you're staying up late.

And if a Gorg should giveyou a bump on the head,

well, just say, you found a placeto hang your hat.

And if a Cackler should eat your socks, just put your gloves on your feet.

And if your best friendcan't sing with you in the Duetathon...

find one who can!

Boober, just the Fraggle I was hopingto bump into.

What luck.

I was hoping you'd be my partnerin the Duetathon.

Are you crazy? I hate the Duetathon!

It makes me really tense. I get nervous just thinking I might lose.

-Well, you might win.-That makes me even more nervous.

Boober. I hopel'm not interrupting anything important.

-Well, actually, we were just... No. Of course, not, Tosh!

-But, we...-Well...

it's just that I wrote this special songfor you and I was hoping you'd sing it

-with me in the Duetathon.-You wrote a song for me?

-No. Boober doesn't want to... Yes!

It's called...

"The Sunset in the Sky, Like a Rhubarb in a Pie."

What a sentiment! I have never beenso moved in my entire life.

-Then you'll be my partner?-Of course I will! I love the Duetathon!

Well then, meet me back in my caveas soon as you can.

-Yes, yes.-We need lots of time to rehearse.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Well, let's just say I... I can't resist a culinary reference.

Tosh! Tosh!

I don't know what I'm gonna do I don't know what I'm gonna do

'Cause the song I singls a song for two

Me's no good without a youl'd sing alone but it's meant for two

I don't know what I'm gonna be

'Cause I want a friendBut there's only me

One does not make companyl walk alone 'cause there's only me

Stop that!

I don't know what I'm gonna do

'Cause the song I singls a song for two

Me's no good without a you

I sing alone but it's meant for two

Poor little thing.

Mrs. Raskolnikov was a wonderful teacher.

She inspired meto get my first chemistry set.

I was just nine years old at the time...

Or was I ten?

No, no. Age ten was when I cameup with my very first invention,

a mouse-driven slingshot.

So nothing will help.

Nothing but finding a partnerto sing with in the Duetathon.

Sing? You mean this Duet-a-ma-whats-ityou've

been telling me about

has something to do with singing?

Sure. It's a contest to seewhich two Fraggles can sing the best duet.

Sure. It's a contest to seewhich two Fraggles can sing the best duet.

Wow! That sounds great!

-Yeah! Do you think so?-Sure! I love to sing.

Yeah, so do I.

-Then you know what?-What?

We've solved your problem.

-We have?-Yup.

I'll be your partnerin the duet-a-whatever.

You will?

Wow!

And then at bar 57, the drums come in.

And then the big drums.

-Is there a problem, nephew?-Well, yeah, there is.

But there won't be as soonas I explain something to you.

Well, explain quickly! We must continue to rehearse our song.

Yeah, well you see, Matt, Wembley's a very sensitive Fraggle.

-Wembley?-Yeah.

-Wembley...-Wembley, my roommate,

-my very best friend.-Oh, yes! Gobo's little friend, Wembley.

Yes, yes. Of course. Yes.

Yeah. Well, anyway, the Duetathonis Wembley's most favorite Fraggle event.

Yeah. Well, anyway, the Duetathonis Wembley's most favorite Fraggle event.

-Yes.-And well, we always sing in it, together.

Oh, yes I see! What a nobleself-sacrificing Fraggle you are.

-I am?-Yes, of course.

You would give upour glorious moment together

to save your little friendfrom disappointment.

Yeah. Well, I see, I think it's the only right thing to do.

I agree, and that's why I'm going to dowhat you ask.

That's great!

And sing in the Duetathonwith your little friend, Wembley.

Yes.

Let's see.

-Hey, hey! I got one.-What, what?

When Poison Cacklers make us tremble, we get so scared, we forget to wemble.

Don't take this personally, Wembley. But do I look like someone

who'd wemble in the first place?

I got it! I got it!

Draw a tower, draw a roofWork all day and never goof

Great, huh?

I don't wanna hurtyour feelings, Cotterpin,

but can you really imagine a Fragglesinging about working all day?

-I see your point.-Yeah.

But what are we gonna do, Wembley?

I can only think of songsabout Doozer stuff

and you can only think of songsabout Fraggle stuff.

Well, we may be different, but we're still friends, right?

Yeah.

Then we'll just have to singabout friendship stuff.

Very good. You're pretty smartfor a Fraggle.

Well, you're pretty fun for a Doozer.

-Think, Wembley. Think.-Yes, yes.

Can you think of a wordthat rhymes with difference?

Sure!

Plifference. Plifference.

Wembley, plifference is not a word.

-What am I gonna do?-Gobo! Gobo!

Gobo, I want you to knowthat I'm willing to drop

out of the Duetathonso you can sing with your Uncle Matt.

That's not the problem anymore. Matt's decided to sing with Wembley.

But that leaves you out. Sing with Red.

Oh, no! Boober, you should singwith Mokey.

Oh, no, Tosh. That's not fair to you. You better sing with Red.

-What about you?-Now, just a minute!

-He can sing with his Uncle Matt!-That's okay then.

Except for one little thing.

-What?-What's that?

That leaves nobody singing with Wembley.

Gonna be in a DuetathonWhoopee, wow and wee!

We're gonna be terrificCotterpin and me

Hi. Hi.

Hi. Little Wembley, I've been lookingall over the rock for you.

Yeah? How come?

Well, I have decided to do you the honorof singing with you in the Duetathon.

Gee, Gobo's Uncle Matt. Now, that's real nice of you.

-Yes, isn't it, though?-But it's really not necessary.

It isn't?-Nope. I've already got a partner.

It isn't?-Nope. I've already got a partner.

Oh, boy!

It's time to register for the Duetathon. Let's go!

Yes, and I will tell the maestrothat I'll be singing with...

Gobo!

All right, all right, all right. Listen to your musical director.

It's time to register for the Duetathon.

And I want it done in a quietand orderly fashion.

Thank you. That's better.

Now, one at a time, slowly and carefully,

approach the desk and give me your nameand the name of your partner.

Quiet, quiet!

Wembley Fraggle and Cotterpin Doozer.

Would you repeat that, please?

Yeah, I said, Wembley Fraggleand Cotterpin Doozer.

This is no time to play games, young Fraggle.

I'm trying to organize an important event.

Well, I'm not playing gamesand I wanna sing with Cotterpin.

Well, I'm not playing gamesand I wanna sing with Cotterpin.

But that's ridiculous.

You can't sing in the Duetathonwith a Doozer.

-Why not?-Well...

Because this is the Fraggle Duetathon, that's why.

The Duetathon is a fine oldFraggle tradition.

And you just can't go changing the rulesfor a Doozer.

Why, it's truly the silliest thingl've ever heard.

Well, if this contestis a fine old Fraggle tradition,

then I don't know if I wannabe a Fraggle anymore.

Yeah?

Well, hoity-toy. "I don't want to be a Fraggle anymore."

When I was 13, I fell in lovefor the very first time.

Her name was Henrietta Higglethorpe.

No one could square a hypotenuselike Henrietta Higglethorpe.

One Thursday afternoon after math class,

Henrietta and I, we were walking homefrom school...

And all the Fraggleswill be there to hear the song

And all the Fraggleswill be there to hear the song

that Wembley and I wrote.

And where is this Fraggle anyway?

-I bet he forgot all about you.-He did not.

My mom and dad told meyou can never trust a Fraggle.

And they are just too silly to depend on.

My mom and dad they told me Fraggleslie all the time.

And they forget everything that they sayright after they say it.

My mom and dad saidall Fraggles hate Doozers.

Yeah, and they don't careabout what we feel at all.

My mom and dad saidthat Fraggles will steal...

Will you be quiet?

You drill bits don't knowwhat you're talking about.

Cotterpin, we just don't wanna say,

"We told you so," if the Fraggle lets you down.

Cotterpin!

Cotterpin, I've been lookingall over for you!

What have you got to sayfor yourselves now?

Cotterpin! You can't be in the Duetathon.

-We told you so!-We told you so!

My friends were right! You Fraggles do hate Doozers.

That's not true! That's not true! That's not true! That's not true!

Yeah? Then why can't I bein the Duetathon?

Because it's supposed to bejust for Fraggles.

-So much for friendship stuff.-But...

There is only one thing to say. Thanks for nothing.

But, Cotterpin! Cotterpin, wait!

All I know is that you've gotjust as much right to sing

in the Duetathon as anybody else.

And I'm gonna go back

and tell the other Fragglesthat a Duetathon without you in it

isn't worth having!

-You think they're going to believe that?-Of course they will

because Fraggles don't hate anybody.

Yeah? Well, I'll believethat when I see it.

See you around, Fraggle.

We don't hate anybody! We don't! I know that's true. It's gotta be.

Quiet everybody! I've got somethingto say about some stuff.

And it's this. The Duetathon is supposedto be fun, but I don't see how it can be

And it's this. The Duetathon is supposedto be fun, but I don't see how it can be

if it means leaving someone out!

But you're not talking about someone, you foolish fellow.

-You're talking about a Doozer.-A Doozer?

So what? Cotterpin'sas good as you and me.

Maybe even better, 'cause she helped mewhen no one else would.

Yeah, but that doesn't matter.

The Duetathon is just for Fraggles!

-And that's the way it has always been.-Well, I've got news for you.

Just because something's always been, doesn't make it right.

-Does it?-No.

And if my friend Cotterpincan't be in the Duetathon,

I don't wanna have anything to do with it!

I agree with Wembley.

If Cotterpin Doozer can't singin the Duetathon, I won't either.

Neither will I.

-That goes for me.-And me too.

We won't sing! We won't sing! We won't sing!

Oh, well, that leaves nobodyleft to sing in the Duetathon.

Oh, well, that leaves nobodyleft to sing in the Duetathon.

-What? What?-We'll have to call the whole thing off.

Listen, I've got a better idea.

Instead of canceling the Duetathon,

and making everyone unhappy, why not just let Cotterpin sing?

-Yeah!-Yeah, how about that?

Why, that's the most brilliant ideal've ever heard!

Enough of this loitering about, everyone.

We've got to get ready for the Duetathon.

Yay! Let's go.

Yeah. Now all I have to do is seeif I can get my partner back.

I wouldn't worry about it, Fraggle.

'Cause that was the best friendship stuffl've ever heard.

I had always thought the worldWas full of mystery

I had seen so many facesThat were strange I had seen so many facesThat were strange

And it sometimes seemedThat each one was my enemy

And I said our fighting waysWould never change

But I learned to meet my brotherln my enemy

And I learned that we areNone of us alone

For I found a friend who's different

-And he cares for me-And she cares for me

And I know a placeWe share can be our home

We are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different and the same

Help us to live here with our otherOur brother, one in heart

One in hope, one in name All right now, everybody!

We are the children of tomorrow We are the children of tomorrow

Wonderful!

Each one is different and the same

Help us to live here with our otherOur brother, one in heart

One in hope, one in name

-We are the children of tomorrow-We are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different and the same

Help us to live here with our otherOur brother

One in heart, one in hope, one in name

We are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different and the same

Help us to live here with our otherOur brother

One in heart One in hope One in hope

One in name

Sprocket, what have you done for Lucinda? She is beautiful.

You sang to her?

Of course, that's the solution.

You know, there is something magicalabout music, Sprocket. There really is.

But tell me, where did you learn that song?
