Fraggle Rock

[Swimmingbird]

When I was a kid, my favorite show of all time was Fraggle Rock. I never again enjoyed a show quite like that one. Now, in a trip down memory lane, I discovered this song which I vaguely remember now. It came from an episode called Invasion of the Toe Ticklers. How's that for a lost childhood memory?

2. (You Were) Born to Laugh [01:16]

Performed by: The Fraggles

Though it begins in your toes,
As the tickling grows,
It'll creep for your ankles and soles.
As the chuckle soon flows,
And the giggling goes,
To the tip, tip, tip of your nose.

Then you fall to the floor,
With a whoop and a roar,
And you laugh until your tummy is sore.
Though you've giggled before,
There'll be giggles galore,
And you just can't stop anymore.

So you keep smiling, grinning, laugh until you're spinning,
To know, you know, you were born to laugh.
You were born to laugh.

And then your sides start to ache,
And your knees start to shake,
For your chuckling keeps you awake.
And your lips start to quake,
With another outbreak,
Of a giggling you can't take.

So you keep smiling, grinning, laugh until you're spinning,
To know, you know, you were born to laugh.
(repeat)

If Kermit the Frog had dropped acid or smoked 'seaweed', he would have been a member of "Fraggle Rock"...

That show was after my time, but I do like the lyrics of that song. 😀

I was a baby when I watched it, so I don't remember much about it, just that it rocked. Finding those song lyrics and the description of that episode has pretty much convinced me of the lasting impression that show much have had on me. Never knew I owed a favor to Jim Henson, I'll spread the crazy antics of his beloved Fraggles on to my young cousins. I used to dislike e-bay, but I've found it's quite useful.
