Why is Dr. Teeth thought of as the Electric Mayhem leader?

After watching most of the episodes, ive noticed that Dr. Teeth is in the least of them of all of the E.C. characters including Zoot. Why is he thought of as the leader, and not Floyd?

Maybe bc whenever they introduce them they're called " Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem ".

Actually, Dr.Teeth is used more than Floyd in the First season.
It goes
Zoot
Janice
Animal
Dr.Teeth
Floyd
It wasn't till towards the end of the first season, Floyd was made into hippie he is now.
Also, Dr.Teeth is a much more complicated character to preform. With the sunglasses and the live hands. Plus, he's possibly the leader, for the fact Jim Henson voiced him.

And if sounds better than saying "Floyd Pepper and the Electric Mayhem"

As Joey points out, they were usually introduced as Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

As for Floyd making more appearances than Dr. Teeth, that's only because Floyd had more potential as a backstage character than some of the other members through the numerous wisecracks he had a tendency to make at the expense of his fellow performers.

That sounds good to me.

Because that's just the way it is? most rock bands have lead singers.

 

[Sgt Floyd]

That sounds good to me.

Ditto, man!

I always thought it was cause he founded the band...but...that was just an assumption

Also, since Jim Henson performed Teeth, and since most of the other action stemmed from Kermit, they couldn't be performed together (except in pre-recorded musical numbers). So Floyd, Zoot, Animal and Janice all had more opportunities to develop than Teeth did.
