You're talking about The Rainbow Connection, rather than Bein' Green, though, right?
Boink... you're quite right. 'Bein' Green' was the work of Joe Raposo -- who also wrote that pre-school tribal rave 'C is for Cookie'. :)
But I also find Williams' songs often cheesy as all get out but strangely affecting. And gratuitous clips from Bugsy Malone -- truly, one of the strangest films to come out of a major studio during a very strange decade -- can't ever be wrong. Can they? :)
(Though if you really want to fry your noodle consider this -- Jodie Foster did this confection the same year as Taxi Driver.)

That's good enough for me.

Yep, a superb pop classicist ( Rainy Days and Mondays , I Won't Last a Day Without You , We've Only Just Begun .)

Agreed.

Yesterday I made a backwards version of hallelujah and it's not bad...
What, no messages to worship the devil or similar?
My daughter (aged five) has a similar intense reaction to some music - the latest, slightly bizarre one, is to the music on the Vodafone ad.
She hates it. Leaps up, yells "NO!" and turns the teev off. As the ad shows most news hours this is kind of vexing.
Her current two favourites are a collection of Bach Oboe Concertos and Sandie Shaw singing 'Wight is Wight' in French. I suspect this is the only time those two will ever appear in the same sentence.
Re: Muppets - I still treasure memories of the pigs on motorbikes doing the Beach Boys 'I Get Around' and a bunch of crocodiles doing the back up 'Laa - la la la la la - bit to Elton John's 'Crocodile Rock'.

We must get our daughters to meet.

She gets smarter by the minute.
