I'm sorry if I woke you up but I had to get an early start
on this door bell.
A dog food can!
They always have the best resonance, don't you agree?
I can't stand the racket people make when they knock on doors.
Can you, Sprocket?
People should announce their presence with dignity and style.
Don't you agree?
That's why this door bell is going to sound wonderful.
There we are.
Let's conduct a little test.
Come on outside, Sprocket, I need your help.
When I go back inside you pull this.
And do it with dignity and style.
OK, Sprocket, pull!
Yes, it's getting there.
If you do it with a little more pace.
Where did I put my saw?
What's that?
I'm gonna be first today.
-What is it? -Who's playing that?
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
I did it! I was the first one in the pool today.
What's everybody doing up so early?
Don't you hear the pipe?
Music grows in the rose
Rock and rain and the blowin' snowstorm
Everything seems to sing Everywhere I go
I say, one, two, play me do
Let me sound as sweet as you
Play me wide Play me long
Let me be your song
Play me down on the ground
Song comes singing from the midnight places
Raise me high in the sky
Song comes drifting through
I say, one, two, play me do.
Let me sound as sweet as you
Play me wide Play me long
Let me be your song
Play me high Play me low
Play me where the wild winds blowing
Play me wide Play me long
Play me for your song
I say, one, two, play me do
Let me sound as sweet as you
Play me wide Play me long
Let me be your song
Who are you?
I'm Cantus and we are the minstrels.
We wonder this ponderous rock of ours
finding Fraggles in distant caves.
When we are near they sing a Fraggle medley.
We are near. We are here.
It's your turn to sing the medley.
You mean a race?
I bet I come in first.
And so you will.
One Fraggle must be first to sing.
You are the medley leader.
-What is your name? -Red Fraggle.
And I'm great at leading. So what are the rules?
There are no rules, those are the rules.
Got you.
Truly very simple. Every Fraggle has a song.
All the songs sung together make a medley.
Your medley will begin with Red's song.
I know lots of songs. You name it, I'll sing it.
No. You must sing your song.
My song? No problem. How does it go?
If you don't know I can't tell you.
But…
Wait a minute.
Where did you get that pipe?
My pipe is a magic pipe.
It was made specially for me many days ago.
By a mysterious and invisible…
A mysterious and invisible…
A mysterious and invisible what?
I don't know.
It was all mysterious and invisible.
But you've heard enough. Now it is time for you to listen.
Go and find your songs.
We'll meet here tomorrow at first light.
Everybody, get out there and find your song.
I don't know if I can do this.
If you want me I'll just be in my hall.
I'm gonna go find my song.
Right.
But I have one question: where do we look?
You should know how to pick your medley leaders.
I don't pick them. They pick themselves.
But this one… We could be here for days!
She'll find her song in time.
In time for tomorrow's medley?
She has a long way to go. Though the journey is short.
The medley will not start without her.
Did he answer my question?
That's what I thought.
I'm the leader and I'm gonna find my song.
But where do I look?
Down the dark tunnel? In Gobo's bed?
I don't get it.
Hey, Red, want to hear my song?
You found one? Already?
Sure. Haven't you?
Sure, who hasn't?
I found my song. Do you wanna hear it?
Where did you find it?
No place special. I just stopped and listen.
My song is the one I hear in my head before I go to sleep.
It goes like…
That's where I found mine too.
Songs in their heads? What are these guys talking about?
Isn't the medley a wonderful idea?
I've got to tell you though I'm having a very hard time.
You are?
Don't worry about it, Mockey. So am I.
It's very hard choosing the right song when you found four.
Absolutely.
Wait till you get to five.
I think I'd better be going.
Too dissonant?
It sounds like a mistake.
I can't hear the overtone.
That sounds like someone's knocking at the door.
Sprocket, you were locked out?
Why didn't you ring the doorbell?
Everywhere my magic pipe and I go, we play a Fraggle medley.
Each one in different, each one is the same.
This friend of mine is having a problem.
She can't find her song. Isn't that silly?
-Got any advice? -She must look inside.
-Inside what? -Inside the outside.
And she must listen.
-To what? -To her song.
But…
Who is this guy?
My magic pipe is filled with songs.
Whatever music there is, whatever music you want.
-Would you like to play it? -Sure.
-What would you like it to play? -Doozer music.
OK. Blow.
They are playing our song.
Does the pipe know my song?
Give it a try.
That's it. It's playing Wembley's song.
That is some pipe.
Would you like to try it?
That's my song. How does it know?
I told you. The pipe is magical.
My turn. Can I play it, please?
No, you may not.
A song must never be played in order to be heard.
But everybody's song must be in that pipe.
That's where you're right, that's where you're wrong.
That's where my song is. I've got to have that pipe.
I need to talk to you.
I can't wait to go to sleep tonight.
The medley is going to be wonderful.
It could be.
But it won't be if I don't sing, right?
And I can't sing if I don't have my song, right?
-Right, but I don't see— -I knew you'd understand.
My song's in the magic pipe.
So I need to borrow it for tomorrow's medley, right?
Right.
Wrong!
I'll give it right back after I get it to play my song.
But Red, that's stealing.
It's not stealing, it's borrowing.
All the other Fraggles have found their song without stealing pipes.
That song is not in the pipe. It's in you.
The coast is clear.
Stay here and keep watch.
Got it.
It's the magic pipe.
Of course it's the magic pipe.
I told you I was gonna borrow it.
Now let's go get my song.
You stole the magic pipe.
For the last time, Mockey, I borrowed it.
Now, if you keep watch we can get this over with.
I'm only doing this because you're my best friend.
I still think it's wrong.
Hello, pipe, could you please play my song?
It's all there is?
Quiet!
It won't stop!
And it's pulling me!
Dum dee dum dum
Day has gone and night has come.
Nighty night, garden.
What's that?
Fraggles!
Red, a Gorg!
Come on, Fraggle, I wanna see you dance!
Dance, little Fraggle!
Dance I say!
Be still, pipe.
It stopped.
Oh, my hand!
-What is it, Red? -My hand.
I've turned this drab old workshop into a symphony orchestra.
Good morning, Sprocket.
Please, don't move or you'll set the whole doorbell off.
How do you expect me to tune the ring section if you sneeze?
Do not move a muscle.
Sprocket, you moved! Why is the doorbell ringing?
Oh, someone's at the door.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Shimmelfinney says
this was delivered to his place by mistake.
Dear nephew Gobo.
today I stumbled upon a new form of the ancient art of meditation.
I discovered certain highly trained individuals
standing behind a sheet of transparent material.
Their method is simple: they never move a muscle.
Hi there. Having fun?
This works!
I was anxious to give this interesting technique a try.
6 hours later I felt a marvelous sense of acceleration.
I've never experienced anything quite so inspiring.
You ought to try it sometime.
Love, your uncle Traveling Matt.
This has got to be some kind of sick joke.
Well, back to the doorbell.
The mysterious mark of the magic pipe.
Mockey, we are in big trouble.
We?
Red Fraggle, you took that pipe, not we.
What are you still doing in here? It's time for the medley.
Come on, Red. You gotta come out there and start it.
-I can't. -Why not?
Laryngitis.
No, you sound fine. Come on. Let's go.
Don't worry, you'll be terrific.
I'm gonna be mortified.
What am I gonna do about my hand?
Put it in my pocket.
Good idea.
Let's get this medley moving.
The medley cannot begin.
What's wrong, boss?
My magic pipe is missing.
Somebody took it.
Days. We'll be here for days.
Whoever took the pipe will bear this mark.
This mark is the pipe's magic way of saying…
Who would be dumb enough to take that pipe?
What a stupid thing to do.
Does anybody know anything about it?
What if the Fraggle who took the pipe
really didn't mean any harm in it,
it was all just a big misunderstanding?
It could happen to anyone.
It could not happen to anyone. There was no misunderstanding.
Mockey, do you know who took that pipe?
Yes. I did. Sort of.
Wait a minute, it wasn't Mockey.
Listen to me.
Look!
It was you.
-You mean you knew? -You were the one who didn't know.
I borrowed the pipe so it would play me my song.
but then everything went wrong
and the pipe dragged me out to the Gorgs' garden
and that's where it is now.
You know you should never have taken my pipe.
That pipe is magical. And magic is very powerful.
Now we must find my pipe.
I dropped it over there.
You must go over there and get it.
But the Gorg will kill me!
Says who?
I'll get you this time, little Fraggle.
Pipe, play Gorg music.
It's the magic pipe.
They found it!
You should have seen that pipe make that Gorg dance.
It played his song.
And now, Red Fraggle, you'll sing for us your song.
But I don't have my song. It's in the pipe.
Your song is inside you. Without you, the pipe would be silent.
Now sing.
But I don't have a song.
I fear I'm losing my implacable calm.
I've never had a song.
You've always had a song! All Fraggles have songs!
Just listen.
Wait a minute. I heard something.
Look at my hand!
Now sing.
That's it, Red. Go on.
Beautiful!
That's my song.
Alright, everyone, let the medley begin.
Red?
Mockey?
Gobo?
Wembley?
Our melody, come and sing it with me
It's the song where you know you belong
Our melody, come and sing it with me
'Cause you know we belong to the song
Our melody, come and sing it with me
It's the song where you know you belong
Our melody, come and sing it with me
'Cause you know we belong to the song
Our melody, come and sing it with me
'Cause you know we belong to the song
That was a good honest knock at the door.
I know it's not as nice as our doorbell but at least it doesn't take up any room.
Sprocket, do that again.
That's a great sound.
You know, your dish would make a wonderful alarm clock.
I'm only kidding, Sprocket.
I've already got an alarm clock.
