I remember the muppets doing a superb rendition of this song!

Hawker..if you are still here (your post was in '01)... That album was MUPPET SILLY SONGS a terrific album indeed that included kermit singing Lydia the Tattoed Lady. I used to babysit for a little boy named Quinn when I was in Grad School. I had him all day 2 days a week and the only way i could get him to sit still and eat lunch was to put on MUPPT SILLY SONGS.

There was a catch however. if 'I'm my own Grandpa' came on whilst he was eating his soup, he would wait for the chorus and the start banging the spoon, full or empty, on the highchair tray, singing along with the chorus at the top of his lungs! Alphabet soup all over the kitchen!

Those were fun days. I highly recommend that album which I'm sure can be obtained on CD by now, to anyone with a small boy. The songs are just perfect for them. There's even one called 'The Worm song'
