Synopsis
On this track, Sam tries to play “The Marine’s Hymn” on his saxophone (what happened to his electric guitar?), and it doesn’t go so well.

One of the lessons that Sesame Street most frequently emphasizes to its young audience is that, if you’re not so good at something, you shouldn’t feel bad or give up — you should just keep trying, and giving it your best! And yet, here we have Sam making his best effort to honor America’s armed forces, and all of the grown-ups on Sesame Street (including Miss Piggy, Camilla , Kermit the Frog and Janice ) laugh at him. That is seriously the whole “joke” of this track: Sam plays the saxophone badly, and everyone laughs at him. Ha ha!

Sam still sucks at the saxophone. Everyone laughs at him again. Fade out.
