This is to honor the memory of Jerry Nelson who gave Count Von Count and the High Priest of the Skeksis their voices
Thistle dancing to the Batty Bat song from Sesame Street
[link] In old Transylvania when I was a lad Our castle was cold but we never were sad We learned to be happy Wed dance round the hall And learning to count was the key to it all By counting each count I knew just where to start And one special step has stayed close to my heart
One two three, spread out the cape One two three, twirl round the floor One two three, left foot you swing One two three, then start to sing One two three, loud as you please One two three, counting with ease One two three, doing the batty bat Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat One two three count Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat Wont you dance with me doing the batty bat
So now in my own castle I can enjoy This wonderful dance that I learned as a boy I see just how wise was my whole family They taught me to count and so now look at me I'm counting and dancing and I swear that its true If you do the same you will be happy too
One two three, spread out the cape One two three, twirl round the floor One two three, left foot you swing One two three, then start to sing One two three, loud as you please One two three, counting with ease One two three, doing the batty bat Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat One two three count Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat Won't you dance with me doing the batty bat

This song fits Thistle (and maybe Klot too
I miss Jerry Nelson
PS: Jerry Nelson also did the voice of the High Priest Skeksis (Skekzok)- the one who summons the crystal bats. (hmmm nice connection
'Crystal bats fly!
Search the land!
Search the water!
Search the Sky!!!!'
I was quite amazed to find that out- both characters can summon bats and live in dark castles
