"Women Can Be" is a Sesame Street song about the many careers that women can pursue. Three of them place a spotlight on their own personal stories of success with the medical field, the circus, and rocket science. Other opportunities expressed include everything from an alligator hunter to an office clerk, a police officer to a clown college graduate, a mountain climber to a lumberjack, and a published author to a soda jerk.
The chorus of women is made up of Teresa, Margaret, an astronaut, a telephone operator, and Betty Lou. They are joined by other Anything Muppets to proclaim "there's nothing we women can't be."
The song was also featured in the 1993 Sesame Street Live show When I Grow Up, performed by Prairie Dawn (considering becoming a lion tamer) and other female Muppets.
Performers
Chorus singers include Marilyn Sokol, Carol Hall, Jane Henson, and Rita Moreno.[1] The characters are puppeteered to a pre-recorded vocal track as evidenced by the fact that several women have the same voice, some voices change, and the synch is noticeably off during a few key lines. As such, no one particular character has a designated performer.

HI Ian, fantastic upload and what a great band, my dad worked in TV/film lighting and was always talking about setting up shows and how it was tricky sometimes, listening to the 20ft scaffold poles through the window brought back memories.

Thanks very much for the uploads, Ian! I'd watched the interview with Eric first which was very nice and amusing and wondered where the first bit was -- now I've found it! So, you worked on Swap Shop, Ian? It must have been a fascinating job!

Dear Chris, great to hear from you. Yes, Swap-shop was great fun to work on. I recorded a few of the shows as keepsakes. Hope you are keeping well, what are you doing these days ?

This is fantastic that you have this, Ian. How on earth did you get it - do you have a relative who worked on Swap Shop or something? Anyway thank you so much for posting this. I can clearly remember watching this when it was originally shown. I must admit I was a tad (heaps really) disappointed that Maggie didn't speak to the band ( I mean Eric!). But it was great to watch anyway, and I particularly remember the guys having their lunch on Brighton beach. Many many thanks.
helena moonHELENA MOONVor 4 years
Dear Helena, no relative worked on it, I did. It was live and great fun, so I recorded some episodes as keep sakes. Noel interviewed Eric in the studio, towards the end of the show, shall I post that?

I don't want any of you to assume that the winners won because they edited with anime, or because we like the anime they used or that we're friends with them. Judging is about as fair as it gets, we grade based on our own opinions then discuss the videos and may come to the conclusion that we should each change our scores or something. As I've stated in the chat, I would prefer to not do the whole let the viewers choose thing, due to the fact that people will most likely just share with their friends & get them to vote for them. (& I believe that's very unfair) I don't want anyone to feel like just because they lost they aren't good enough to be in this group, or that your editing is bad...though a lot of you stated you didn't care whether you won/lost, a few of you were upset with your scores and the scores don't state how good of an editor you are, you are all wonderful editors in your own special ways. I hope you'll all stay tuned for the next IC like this! (I hope to do one every two weeks or every month at least!)
Teatro Comunale di Firenze, 27. Januar 2004: Besetzung: Il Conte Rodolfo – Giacomo Prestia; Teresa – Nicoletta Curiel; Amina – Eva Mei; Elvino – José Bros; Lisa – Gemma Bertagnolli; Alessio – Enrico Turco; Un notaro – Saverio Gambi Regie: Federico Tiezzi; Dirigent: Daniel Oren; Orchester und Chor der Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. "Jedenfalls hat Federico Tiezzi in Florenz eine interessante, ungewönhliche "Sonnambula"-Interpretation auf die Beine gestellt. […] Sie [Eva Mei] wirkte damals so zart und introvertiert schlechthin, dass sie wirklich fesselt, und sie singt entsprechend mit einer Verhaltenheit, die höchste Stimmbeherrschung erfordert. Das Virtuosenstück als Seelendrama. Das ist perfekt auf sie zugeschnitten und entsprechend überzeugend." Renate Wagner, der-neue-merker.eu/ Der neue Merker, Ausgabe 4/2011
