Halfway Down the Stairs

Halfway Down the Stairs

"Halfway Down the Stairs", based on a poem by A.A. Milne, " [http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/show/13269-A-A--Milne-Halfway-Down Halfway Down] ", was Robin's most significant performance during the first season of "The Muppet Show", before he became known as Kermit's nephew. It's a profound, heartfelt song that Robin sang while sitting in the middle of a flight of stairs.

The tune was written by Harold Fraser-Simson, who put many of Milne's poems to music.

This song was included in "The Muppet Show" episode 110 with Harvey Korman, and for some reason this sequence was refilmed for a few different countries. It was also redone for an appearance on "Top of The Pops". This song was included in the LP called "The Muppet Show" and then released as a single, which made it to the top 10 in England. it would later be included in The Best of The Muppets (CD), and Rowlf the Dog would go on to sing a cover of this song in his album, "Ol' Brown Ears is Back".

It was also included in the "" with The Muppets.
