Sesame Street - Caribbean Amphibian(new version)

Followed by the 1986 video, the Elmopalooza! version features Jimmy Buffet and the frogs from The Muppets (including Jill who made this strange appearance on Sesame Street). Nicknames Tropical Amphibian, Theater Countdown, Coconut Tree, Hi again, Jill!, Welcome to Sesame Street, Jill! Pirate Amphibian Music Video We see a shortened film countdown that stops at three and cuts to the tree transition to the hut with Kermit, Jimmy and three Non-Sesame frogs playing instruments. We see a blue animated bird flying by when we see Jimmy playing the guitar. We zoom away from the frogs, then we orbit while two mangos and a banana pan and rotate to form a face and the red orange sun fades in displaying a smiley sun. We zoom back to Kermit, then we fade to the map spinning and unfolding which the amphibian in tropical clothing dives into the water on it.
