One thing you will notice as this chart goes on is that Beaker actually is a fantastic singer. As much as this is a group performance he is very much a soloist with just minimal backing provided by the others. That wouldn’t be too much to ask, would it?Ĩ – Habanera – Beaker, Animal & The Swedish Chef – Muppet Viral Videosīeaker really is the star of the show here. This Christmas, Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire should film it as a web video.

I get that it slows the movie down at a point when it should be getting going, but that doesn’t mean I can’t lament the loss of Beaker and Bunsen’s biggest movie moment to date. I’ve written about this song before and I still think it’s a real shame it didn’t make the final cut of Muppet Christmas Carol. I think part of it is that everyone loves an underdog and Beaker is certainly that. Despite the fact that the two are seemingly inseparable and intrinsically linked in the minds of the general public it seems that for whatever reason Beaker has been more of a break out star and we’re far more likely to see him without Bunsen than the other way around. It’s a strange situation and it goes back to what I was saying earlier about the way Beaker seems to have grown as a character, but there’s actually very little Bunsen in this chart. Meanwhile Chef just gets on with it like he doesn’t have a care in the world!ĩ – Room in Your Heart – Beaker and Dr. I love Beaker’s big gasp at the start as he fills his Muppety lungs with cold, frosty air and Animal’s realization that he seems to have brought the wrong percussion instrument with him and then subsequent decision to up the ante is hilarious. Surely they’ll do “Blue Moon” at some point?! Carol of the Bells has long been one of my favorite carols and while I don’t think I’d class this version as one of the best, it certainly has its own charm. I like this better than anything else they’ve been called as it’s more general and sounds like a 1950’s doo-wap group.
Let’s see if the calculations are correct…ġ0 – The Carol of the Bells – Beaker, Animal & The Swedish Chef – Muppet Viral VideosĪlthough listed here by their individual names, this occasional group is actually called “The ABC’s” (as in Animal, Beaker, Chef) on The Disney Cruise Line. (They received 33% of the 43,000 votes cast and I’m pleased to say my vote is part of that figure.) Beaker actually joined The Muppet Show in season two (with Bunsen debuting the year before), but as my list shows I actually think this could be a case of the student surpassing his master. The pair have won accolade after accolade including being voted “Britain’s Favourite Cinematic Scientists” in 2004. You see with St Patrick’s Day falling this week it seems only right and proper to be looking at one third of the beloved Muppet troupe that is “The Leprechaun Brothers”.Īside from that group, Beaker is (of course) best-known as the unfortunate lab assistant of Dr. Kieran Moore – As some of you know every now and again I like to produce a seasonal chart so my heart skipped a beat when Beaker’s name was randomly generated as today’s subject.
