Weird Opera Number

Do you know about these human-mouth creatures who sang a weird opera number in gibberish in the UK spot for the Beverly Sills episode of The Muppet Show?

The Grey one, performed by Jerry, sang in some baritone voice, as the Brown one, performed by Jim, sang in some Countertenor voice.

These Muppets could bare their teeth, wiggle their tongue, and...
if you watch closely at the end of this number, at the close-up of the Grey Bearded Opera Singer, you could see the nostrils of Jerry.

:smile:attitude: : I am never going to see those guys EVER again!)

That extremely scary and weird sketch appeared as the closing number for the Playhouse Video, "Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuffs".
