No matter how many times I watch the Ed Sullivan episode where the Muppets are a rock and roll group in a box, I can't quite understand how they did that. I mean, how many puppeteers were back there? :confused:

Yea. They might have been performed by three at one point because they were featured in "Muppets On Puppets" special from 1968.
