Not a Friday PSTSS, Just a Song That Got Stuck in My Head a Couple of Days Ago, Which Has Prompted a Burning Question That I Need Answered
Were Floyd and Janice a couple? I mean, in Muppet world, were they together? Was that the storyline? I'm thinking they were, but I can't find any hard evidence.
Intriguing idea, Otto! I've never heard that the Muppet designers or performers for the Electric Mayhem were thinking of Fleetwood Mac--the borrowings from Janice Joplin or Pink Floyd are more obvious. But still...Dr. Teeth does kind of look like Mick Fleetwood, doesn't he? Hmm. So that would make Floyd John McVie and Janice Christine? (I sure hope she's not Stevie Nicks.)
I've been hoping the Foo Fighters to go on Sesame Street to do a version of "The Pretender." You know: "One of these things is not like the others/One of these things is not like the other ooones..."
I think you can just plug the real life people from Fleetwood Mac into the Muppet band. Does that work for you?

ReplyDeleteBut for all I know, it's already happened.
Doug, it's actually "Furry Happy Monsters," as you can see here.
ReplyDeleteCamassia, no, it hasn't happened so far as I know. But I agree it would be awesome. But would it be as awesome as Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song?
