Sloppy Jalopy (song)



" Grump " is a Sesame Street song  from  episode 4134.

At the beginning of the episode,  Oscar  &  Grundgetta  are heading off to the Nasty Car Races. Th ey  sing " Sloppy Jalopy ". Th ey  try to drive off at the end of the  song, but, just as expected, the  car  just won't start.  Grundgetta  can't get the car  to start, so Luis & Maria offer to help.

 SCENE , cont'd || Oscar  doesn't want to cooperate, but then agrees when he realizes that otherwise  th  ey  won't make it to the race. Luis is skeptical, but Maria goes over to the library & gets a book: "How to Gunk Up a Sloppy Jalopy  & Make It Run Again." They add anchovy syrup to the engine, but it doesn't help - although it does cover Luis & Maria with syrup. Luis thinks that it will take magic to get the jalopy  working again.

Abby Cadabby arrives & Oscar  suggests that she wave her wand & fix the  car. Using her magic word (allerednic! - Cinderella backwards) she turns the jalopy  into a pumpkin -  Oscar  &  Grundgetta  are not pleased. Abby uses her wand to call her mommy, who gives her a new spell which turns the jalopy  back again. The car  still won't start, but Abby disappears.

Gina & Marco come by, & Marco throws his juice bottle at the car - which makes it start. Just then another Grouch  arrives to give  Oscar  &  Grundgetta  the trophy. Since the jalopy  never even moved, according to  Grouch  rules that means they won 1st place.
