I've heard the song a few times on Muppet Radio and every time I scratch my head. I checked an online Turkish/English dictionary, but nothing came up. Has anybody figured this out, or is it just a nonsense word?

Andy,

I think it means Transvestite.

Otherwise it means Turkish women with moustaches...


See ya

interestingly enought, that's the same exact question Gonzo and Rowlf ask on the Playhouse video, "Rowlf's Rhapsodies"

If that means that

A) we got a candidate for another dirty Muppet joke

and

B) there's a whole meaning to that song.

Considering Transvestite is Pakalafaka, that at least explains the end gag when the "girl's" face mask falls off, and it's a hariy guy.

(In case anyone wants to know, the Japanese word for Transvestite is Okame. I learned that watching One Piece!)
