Does anyone know the first street scene for the following characters?

1. Don Music (I'm sure it was in the 80's, but I don't know when)

2. Simon Soundman

3. Sherlock Hemlock

4. Guy Smiley

I'm not sure about the others, but I think one of the earliest Simon Soundman sketches was with Grover at the restaurant. Maybe the Count would know.

I think there's some confusion. I meant when was the first time they were on the street itself interacting with the adults and Big Bird?

the Premiere of Don Music

The first skit with Don Music wasn't a street scene, but a Muppet News Flash.
Kermit was dressed in his trenchcoat and Dick Tracy hat, and he was interviewing Don in his house at the piano. Don was banging his head on the piano in frustration trying to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb. With Kermit helping out, the lyrics got altered a bit.

Mary had a bicycle
It was painted red as fire
But whenever Mary wanted to take a ride
The bicycle had a flat tire.

then little Jerry and the Monotones come in and they make a big production number out of it.

And in case Dantecat or Totallyspiesfan ask

1. Read the above to see what just happens
2. 1970-something
3. Don Music's house
4. Good depending on your taste
5. If you can sing Mary Had A Little Lamb, you're good to go.

Five answers, :smirk: thank you. Beat you to it. :stick_out_tongue:
