Making Believe also one of my all-time favorites. The Haden Triplets do a sweet version.

I have pitted the Squiggle against the Wiggle in an online poll (scroll down the thread for a gif of Porter playing on a television show with puppets evidently acting out the dance) twitter.com...

The graphics I'm looking at are pretty small, but was the Ponderosa Hotel a repurposed rail car with tree wallpaper?

@ultradamno, not sure, but there is a big tree-shaped billboard outside on the image I have on the album.

It looks like a very long and narrow structure on the pic, but I don't think that's what it is. I just assumed she was in the hotel on the cover.
