How about...
"The Organ Grinder's Swing"--this would be an instrumental played by Dr. Teeth, Janice, and Animal. Dr. Teeth would REALLY get into this one, yelling "OH YEAH!" at odd intervals.
"Psycho" by the Sonics, as played by the Electric Mayhem, Dr. Teeth vocals
"Seasons Of Love"...
I was actually toying with this idea myself--
Seymour--Gonzo
Audrey--Miss Piggy
Mushnik--J.P. Grosse
Orin (the dentist)--Uncle Deadly
Crystal--Janice
Ronnette--Annie Sue
Chiffon--Yolanda Rat
Audrey II--Itself
Wink Wilkinson--Fozzie Bear
Arthur Denton--Crazy Harry
Patrick...
Here are mine!
1. J Friends-if anything because the voices Jerry and Jim used for the Anything Muppets in this song would later be used for Floyd & Dr. Teeth
2. Ha Ha--a rare Harvey Kneeslapper appearance!
3. I Love Trash--OSCAR RULES!
4. Put Down The Duckie--I always liked this one

Here are all the Don Music song lyrics you wanted:
MARY HAD A BICYCLE
Mary had a bicycle, it was as red as fire
And every time she wanted a ride, the bicycle had a flat tire!
SESAME STREET THEME
Stormy night, not even a star in sight
On my way to where the sky is dark
Can you tell...
Actually, that was a running gag I did, where Floyd explains the history of the band (an interview that takes about eight months, since he gives his entire life story). Another time he does the same thing when Roosevelt Franklin asks him how the band got started.
Floyd: "And what did you...
SPECIAL GUEST: TOM WAITS
Cold Opening: Scooter, Tom Waits, & monsters
Scooter: "Tom Waits, 15 seconds to curtain, Mr. Waits!"
Tom: (strumming on an antique obscure stringed instrument) "Thank you, Scooter. You know, it's so nice to be normal..."
Scooter: "But Tom, we put you on the...
I, for one, loved the Alice Cooper episode. They really played off Alice's shock-rock image. Three great Alice Cooper songs (including my favorite, "School's Out"), the irony of Robin singing "Over The Rainbow", and my favorite part of the show, the UK spot "Once-A-Year Day!" (a great song from...
Tony Randall.
Worst. Episode. Ever.
At least I thought so when I was a kid, I might have to see it again.
Also, you would've thought they could've done more with Alan Arkin aside from that "Jekyll & Hyde" (not the musical) thing, seeing as how he had been on "Sesame Street" (albeit not...
I've thought of a few more:
"The Last Stop", Dave Matthews Band (another collaboration with the jugband, Janice lead vocals)
"Psycho", The Sonics (Dr. Teeth lead vocals)
"Too Much", Dave Matthews Band (Janice lead vocals)
"Good Rats", Dropkick Murphys (Dr. Teeth, Floyd, and special...
I can't wait until next week when my copy of Vol. 5 comes in so I can see more of Hilda again. Since she is a native of Transylvania, I wonder if she ever knew the Count?
I could see it now...
Count: "Ah, my dear Hilda, it is so vonderful to see you again."
Hilda: "Count von Count, you...
Harry Belafonte and the gang singing "Turn The World Around"
Floyd & Scooter singing "Mr. Bass Man"
Gonzo reciting poetry while trying to defuse a bomb
Paul Simon singing "Long, Long Day" with the Muppets
Floyd & Janice singing "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
Kermit & Miss Piggy's wedding in...
Well, there *IS* that rumor going around that Roosevelt is Floyd's illegitimate son. Very few little kids can be THAT hip. Of course, we'd have to do a DNA test, but that's a bit hard to do on a Muppet...
Plus, they also need him to cut the sandbags for whenever Sam tries to shut them down...
HERE'S A MUPPET NEWSFLASH!
Thig's whereabouts have been tracked down. Apparently the people at Henson didn't see him as a marketable character, unlike his brother Thog, so Thig was not invited to appear on "The Muppet Show". Rumor has it that he hit the bottle (of milk) pretty hard after this...
Ranking the episodes, here are my favorites, from highest to lowest:
1. Harry Belafonte/John Cleese (tie)
2. Peter Sellers
3. Elton John
4. Mark Hamill
5. Paul Simon
6. John Denver (He looked like he was having SO much fun...)
7. Julie Andrews
8. Dudley Moore
9. Linda Ronstadt
10...
I forgot about "Eight Little Notes"! That was a great one. I wish he had appeared on "Sesame Street" to sing it with Don Music and/or the Count. (Yes, he did sing it with Don Music in one of my TMS outlines, but that isn't an official rendition of it.)
Does anyone have "Ol' Brown Ears Is...
We all know why we love Ol' Brown Ears...what are your favorite songs of his?
My personal favorites:
"Cottleston Pie"
"When" (Peter Sellers ep)
"I've Never Harmed An Onion"
"You and I and George" ("The record sold two copies. I bought one and George bought one...where were you?")
"What...
How about a "Global Grover" in Sweden? After all, Rowlf's visited his pal Kermit on Sesame Street...why not the Chef? (Of course, Beaker and Scooter would have to come along too...Beaker's the only other one of the Muppet family that speaks Swedish, and Scooter's been taking a correspondence...
Here's one, Kermit. We've met all your friends in the Muppet THeatre, on Sesame Street, in Fraggle Rock, and everywhere else. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THEM?!
Aside from the core five (Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Animal), and subsequent additions (Lips, Clifford), here are some other people who should be considered Mayhem members:
Scooter (road manager/percussionist in TMM)
Rizzo (finger cymbals in Paul Simon TMS ep)
Roosevelt Franklin (I...
