I'm no Master of Muppets, or Muppetology--I was old
enough to find Sesame Street REPULSIVE. Having already
suffered through the Moms-of-America (not an official
organization, just the general aggregate of
well-intentioned maternal units who bitched about too
much Sat AM violence in cartoons) orchestrated
sanitization of Saturday morning cartoon fare, I saw
Big Bird and friends as a ghastly effort to turn a
generation of pre-schoolers into lame, spineless Mr.
Rogers clones.

That said, one of the few things I ever LIKED on
Sesame  Street was a muppet R&R band skit where the
muppet band did a FEROCIOUS version of "Wild Thing." 
I'm almost POSITIVE the band in question was Dr. Teeth
& His Electric Mayhem.  Can a more muppet-friendly
Bomper confirm this?
