	The Electric Company - Sundae From a black and white kinescope of a season 3 (1973-74) episode. Hattie Winston tears the roof off the sucker, with a little help from Gregg Burge and June Angela. Some of the suggested sundae toppings may sound a little freaky, but ain't nothing wrong with Hattie's dance moves. This is probably a Raposo composition...who else can write a coda like that? I've also included a couple of the surrounding scanimate segments, and a soft-shoe silhouettes with Bayn Johnson and June Angela. View Video
	THE ELECTRIC COMPANY-TILT! (AUDIO ONLY) Here it is, this is undoubtedly one of my favorite and most remembered Short Circus songs from the last two seasons of THE ELECTRIC COMPANY, sung by the line up of Janina Mathews, Rodney Lewis, Rejane Magloire, Todd Graff and June Angela as they are dancing inside a large pinball machine. Unfortunately, this is only a slide show consisting of two photo shots of the musical number but I was able to edit to make it more animated and colorful. The music director was Dave Conner. When commenting, NO SPAM AND HATEFUL MESSAGES ABOUT THE SHOW OR THE STARS! Thank you and enjoy! THIS IS A FAN-MADE VIDEO BY ME! View Video
	The Electric Company - The "Or" Song Sourced from a black and white kinescope. Bayn Johnson and June Angela sing a song about how they never seem to get enough options in their daily lives. When I was a kid, I remember thinking that this song sounded similar to the songs from "Fiddler on the Roof". View Video
	The Electric Company - Snap, Clap, Tap Uploaded by request. Gregg Burge and June Angela do a tap dance number....Electric Company Gregg Burge June Angela classic vintage Sesame Street View Video
	The Electric Company - Freeze Julie (June Angela) and Buddy (Stephen Gustafson) are discussing what they do when they get scared. When they ask Kelly (Bayn Johnson) about what she does, she explains with a song. View Video
	The Electric Company - The Sweet Sweet Sway Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman) introduces another song from the second lineup of the Short Circus: Allison (Denise Nickerson, who played gum chewing Violet in Willy Wonka), Julie (June Angela), Zachary (Douglas Grant), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), and Kathy (Melanie Henderson). This song, written by Joe Raposo, has to be near the top of my list of all time favorite songs from the Electric Company. If they had released it as a 45rpm single, who knows how many copies it might have sold. View Video
	The Electric Company - The Corner Another catchy song by Joe Raposo, from the second lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Zachary (Douglas Grant), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), Kathy (Melanie Henderson) and Allison (Denise Nickerson, who played gum chewing Violet in Willy Wonka). View Video
	The Electric Company - Poison Great cautionary song from the second lineup of the Short Circus: Allison (Denise Nickerson, who played gum chewing Violet in Willy Wonka), Julie (June Angela), Zachary (Douglas Grant), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), and Kathy (Melanie Henderson). A lot of people think this would have made a much better public service announcement than those lame "Mr. Yuk" spots. View Video
	The Electric Company - Creepy Creature Song by the final lineup of the Short Circus (June Angela, Todd Graff, Rodney Lewis, Réjane Magloire, Janina Mathews). The kids' dance party is crashed by Dracula (Morgan Freeman), Frankenstein (Skip Hinnant) and the Wolfman (Jim Boyd). They don't know how to do the Loosey Goosey or The Fling, but they do have a dance of their own. View Video
	The Electric Company - Hot Shot For some reason the third lineup of the Short Circus (June Angela, Gregg Burge, Stephen Gustafson Melanie Henderson, Bayn Johnson) didn't record that many songs together as a full group, solo numbers and duets were more the norm for the third and fourth season. Here's one of the few songs they did do together, a catchy number about how Dwayne's basketball skills come in handy during everyday life, with some great 16mm footage of 1970s era NYC. View Video
	The Electric Company - Stop Uploaded by request. From the 1972-73 season, DJ Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman) introduces a song by the second lineup of The Short Circus. Zachary (Douglas Grant) sings lead on this one, with backing vocals by Allison (Denise Nickerson), Kathy (Melanie Henderson) and Julie (June Angela). View Video
	The Electric Company - Sing Out! From a black and white kinescope with a fairly nasty vertical scratch, another requested song from the second lineup of The Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Zachary (Douglas Grant), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), Kathy (Melanie Henderson) and Allison (Denise Nickerson). View Video
	Peanut Butter & Jelly - "We wish life could rewind!" Suzie is the fair-haired girl, and Angie is our Asian girl, with a higher voice. When the two get detention for school pranks only Paul Dooley and Thad Mumford could have dreamed up, they dance around the classroom singing a song wishing they could turn back time! The end of the sketch deliberately has visuals absent to keep our competition in the dark, but true believers will know what kind they'll be, and probably what comes after them, too... I can practically see the choreography to this one - and trust me, I'm going to tape it exactly the way I know you all see it. View Video
	The Electric Company - Why? DJ Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman) introduces a silly song from the fourth lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Jesse (Todd Graff), Charlie (Rodney Lewis), Samantha (Réjane Magloire) and Gail (Janina Mathews). View Video
	The Electric Company - Who Was Uploaded by request, a song by the original lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Iris (Irene Cara), Kathy (Melanie Henderson), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Buddy (Stephen Gustafson). A sample of the groovy intro patter by Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman) was used in a song by Mono Puff, a side project from John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants. I have no idea how he got a copy of it, as this episode was crazy rare in the pre-Noggin days. View Video
	The Electric Company - Whimper and Whine Ah, the joys of having children. Actually this segment is a lot less annoying than I remembered it being, the song (written by Joe Raposo) is quite catchy, and the cutout effect is cute, if a little weird. View Video
	The Electric Company - Hard, Hard, Hard Uploaded by request, a song from the first lineup of the Short Circus: Iris (Irene Cara, on lead vocals), Kathy (Melanie Henderson), Julie (June Angela), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Buddy (Stephen Gustafson). View Video
	The Electric Company - He, Ho, Hi Song from the first lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Iris (Irene Cara), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Kathy (Melanie Henderson). I've often wondered if this song were created through some sort of clerical error. I sometimes imagine a piece of paper with some rough notes accidentally being taken off Elaine Laron's desk and delivered to Joe Raposo, and Joe writing a full song out of it, LOL! View Video
	Peanut Butter & Jelly - The Apostrophe Song The girls of The Strawberry Jam sing a groovy song about use and misuse of apostrophe. This might be the most necessary song our show will ever broadcast. Visit any chatroom, open any text message today, and sadly see why. This may be the most popular grammar mistake going on in America. LYRICS - APOSTROPHE Apostrophe! There IS an apostrophe in "It's for me" It's after T, you see? Apostrophe! But there is NO apostrophe in "Its goatee" It's a goat's goatee, you see? Apostrophe is good to remember Whether June or mid-December Bear these rules in mind: ("It is" - put in apostrophe No "is" - then leave it off "You are" - put the apostrophe Of yours? - leave it off) Apostrophe! There IS an apostrophe in "You're so sweet" Says what you means to me, you see? Apostrophe! There is NO apostrophe in "Your defeat" It's not "you are defeat" - you see? Apostrophe is good to remember Whether June or mid-December Bear these rules in mind: ("It is" - put in apostrophe No "is" - leave it off "You are" - put in the apostrophe Of yours? - leave it off) Apostrophe, apostrophe! Apostrophe, apostrophe! View Video
	The Electric Company - Found Hound DJ Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman) introduces a song from the first lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Iris (Irene Cara), Buddy (Stephen Gustafson), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Kathy (Melanie Henderson). View Video
	Peanut Butter & Jelly - the "Gritty Gravy" song Several bright, talented Generation X minds are at work right now coming up with skits and songs for this show. One of our tricks of the trade, a very difficult resource to have handy, is a music department with skill at identifying and replicating the songwriting spirit of Joe Raposo. Without The Raposo Sound, it's not The Electric Company; and as a nod to our devotion to that end, now here's the Strawberry Jam's latest 45 single, currently at number 45,691 on the charts with a bullet, the smash sure-to-be hit... "Gritty Gravy"! LYRICS GRITTY GRAVY Gritty gravy Pour it on your beans all day Gritty gravy Chase your appetite away Drink it down - (Kid says, "Gritty gravy'll make you frown!") (All the other kids: "Ewwwwww!" grasping tummies, backing away - then regroup, return to choreography) Gritty gravy - gritty gritty gravy Gritty gravy - gritty gritty gravy Gritty gravy Stir it in a pan of goo Gritty gravy We ain't eating that, are you? Knock some back (Kid says, "Gritty gravy ain't where it's at!") (All the other kids: "And that's a fact!") Grease, gunk, goop ("Ewwww!") Gritty gritty gritty gritty gritty gritty gritty gritty gruesome ("Yuck!") (REPEAT) Care to try? ("Not I! Goodbye!") Ewwwwwwwwww.... (clutching stomachs) Gritty gravy yucky ewwwwww And the spoon is icky, tooooo It's true (Dance around merrily) (June Angela of the group says, "Cod liver oil and earwax taste much better, read the letter!") Gritty gravy Nothing else is worse on earth Gritty gravy Tell your parents try it first! Pass the stuff by ("Or it's gonna make you cry") Oooo - gritty goo! (Joe's purists out there will probably recognize we even employed lesser-known trademarks of his writing in "Gritty": the lurching, Frankenstein-walk tempo Joe often liked, comedy lyrics about a nonsensical disgusting food, adolescent interjections ["Eww!" "And that's a fact!"], and dire warnings "not to try" the yucky food "or else". Not to mention a typically Raposo "sudden lapse into daydream" where sunny flutes and a silly Brazilian samba come bursting idiosyncratically in.) Gotta admit, this sounds a lot like "Creepy Creature" era you-know-what to me. Joe-fans, we're asking you: how close did we get on this one? View Video

	Peanut Butter & Jelly - The Song of "A"! This one sounds 100% Joe Raposo, and we're going to warn you it will get stuck in your head. Can't you just see her tap dancing to this? LYRICS - THE SONG OF "A" There are two sounds of A, you know Like "ay" you hear in fate and Katy Yes, two sounds indeed has letter A There is another sound to A Like "a" in hat, and cat, and patty Sing the song of long and short of A "a" can be a fat, fantastic cat While "ay" can rate as Late for a date with Nate, so There are two sounds to A, you know There's long for crate And short for taffy Everyone sing along my song of A Sing my song of A! "Ay" can be long like Amy Takes a cake she baked to the sale By the lake awake A can be "a" like catch the bat That's at the flat that crashed As the captain sagged "A" can be a sad and nasty flag While "ay" can be As great as a fake mistake, so There are two sounds of A, you know There's long for mate And short like daffy Everyone sing along my song of A That's the song of A! And then she smiles, "Grand." Something about the way the scene fades makes me think this is the last segment of a show. Possibly a Friday episode. View Video
