It all started when I was in the car listening to my iPod and I heard the familiar intro music to the song "Forget You" (which also has a not-safe-for-Elmo title). I grinned and was excited to hear the Chickens cluck the song as they do on the movie soundtrack for The Muppets. I was crestfallen, however, when, instead of Camilla, Cee Lo Green started singing instead. I knew the only people who would understand my disappointment were Muppet fans... so I decided to tweet about it. The tweet read, Getting excited to hear the Chickens cluck "Forget You" on your iPod and being disappointed when it's Cee Lo instead. #muppetfanproblems This started a whole chain of tweets... not only from me on the Mindset account, but a whole heap of other Muppet fans jumping on the wagon to join the fun. Some of the tweets were serious, such as the following...

Actually, Elmo is at the end of "The Muppets Take Manhatten" during the wedding scene. You can barely see him during the full shot of wedding seating area with the other Sesame Muppets.
