Sweep sings! →[More:]
I know that Muppet version of Bohemian Rhapsody was a big hit, but for over 50 years
Sweep has been the singing puppet maestro.
Although
Sooty (the bear) is the star of the show, I've always liked Sweep (the dog) better - he is naughty (frequently seen garlanded with a string of sausages he's stolen from the butcher's) and is always getting himself into mischief.
But best of all is
his voice, which I've always found utterly hilarious and completely believable. Of course you can understand what he's saying!
And he sings. Oh, how he sings.
Away in a Manger
I Just Called To Say "I Love You"
He
raps!
And he sings opera. His rendition of
Nessun Dorma will bring you to tears.
Feel the Sweep love.
