Frazzle (song)

{| border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; " Frazzle is an emotional song composed by Sam Pottle. The backgrounds for the song open up circles wrapped with ripped paper around it and The Frazzletones including Steve D' Monster, Maurice and Little Chrissy (from the blue AM Monster pattern used for Harvey Monster) sing about his emotions. As Frazzle himself snarls through the circles, t he paper  shakes with a teeter totter animation at a speed depending on how fast he growls. His snarl sound is always the same regardless of any emotion.

Errors
The paper goes off-sync leaving some parts of the circle lines to be visible as it makes it's way to the same scale factor as the circle. It also occured with the transition back to the green background from the second time on the Frazzletones part. On the part after Frazzle leaves the green screen the third time from the bourbon colored background, the graphic doesn't stick with the circle and the transformation keyframes were supposed to stay within the position where the circle is placed, but instead moves itself to the top right of the screen which then goes back to it's normal position.

The song has weird minor upscaling of the paper overlay which hides the parts of it that resemble in shape of mountains, a pawn and a horn. This happens on the Frazzletone background part after Frazzle snarls the time after the circle along with the graphic opened up to reveal him.

Another goof has the puppeteer's head for Chrissy partially shown on the bottom right of the screen in the second time in the Frazzletone part.

Variants
There is a prototype version of the song that does not contain torn paper around the circles which leaves the angles of the circle static as Frazzle snarls. This variant was used on most episodes of Sesame Street. The final one was only exclusive to the Sesame Street home video Elmo Says BOO!.

On the home video Monster Hits!, the beginning of the prototype variant of the song is trimmed off which fades to the point where Frazzle runs to the end of the screen on the green background.

Trivia

 * The puppets used for the Frazzletones come from the first Fur song except that the Harvey puppet was modified to form a monster variation of "Little Chrissy".
 * This is the only song on Sesame Street to feature the monster form of Little Chrissy. All others have the normal variant of this character.
 * It appears that Frazzle might have torn up the background circles to open a hole through the background so the monsters can see through it as they explain about Frazzle's emotions to the viewer.
