My name is Kathy
I couldn't stop laughing while watching this video of The Short Circus singing My Name is Kathy. For more than one reason, it is the stupidest song ever sung on The Electric Company. First of all, it has no purpose. "Kathy" pretty much sums up the song when she instructs the other members of the group to "Just sing your name and some other stuff and stop when you sing enough." (Those are some award-winning lyrics. Did you write that yourself, Kathy?)
Secondly, how can you do a round robin of singing and not let Irene Cara (or "Iris" as she was known in The Short Circus) get in a few bars? We were tortured by that no-talent "Buddy" droning on about his drum playing when we could have been mesmerized by the vocal stylings of Miss Cara. So many injustices in the world.

My name is Emily, and life will never be the same for me now.
Damn, Kathy had that wrist flick finger snap DOWN!
now i know why i grew so skewed. too much electric co. at least kathy can sing. still, she's no "coco."
I always liked the singer on the jukebox on Shining Time Station...it was like a Joan Armatrading/Rory Block mix...
I watched the Muppet Show, Mickey Mouse, Kaptain Kangaroo, Romper Room, but no Electric Company!
