More on Kermit

“During one of Steve Allen’s shows,” Schafer wrote, “he kept substituting the word ‘dingdong’ for other words. He had on this particular show a culinary expert to whom Steve said, ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his dingdong.’” In his theme song, “Blooper Man,” Schafer wrote that “On radio and tv/or just little old you and me/bloopers will always be.” He insisted that bloopers weren’t vulgar or meant to prey on the hapless, and a credit dedicates the movie as “a sympathetic tribute to members of the broadcasting industry who have been the victims of these classic bloopers.” Yet his movie opens with a lounge act-sounding song with the taunting refrain: “You blew it, you blew it, you blew it, you blew it.”
