Most rockin' muppet?

Trollheart · 01-07-2013, 07:57 PM

Taking a strand from another thread here and expanding it...
Who do you think was or is the most rockin' muppet? Acceptable are anyone from Sesame Street or The Muppet Show (obviously) but no human guests. I suppose you can add Fraggle Rock if you really have to, but remember, just cos they lived on a rock doesn't mean they rocked!

There have of course always been muppets who were musically inclined...
Animal's an obvious first candidate

As well as Doctor Teeth

Janice of course

and supercool Zoot

But I always thought Bert would have made a great white rapper. Just look at that thousand-yard stare, the heavy, frowning eyebrows, the "don't **** with me" stance. Yeah, Bert coulda be the muppet Eminem!

Can't you just see him rappin' about how hard life is on "The Street"? How all the bitches want is countin' an' spellin' lessons, and how he can't get no action with that fat jolly bastard hangin' around him all the time?

So, whaddya think? Who would you call the coolest, rockinest muppet?

I dunno, I always thought these guys were pretty gangsta

The Sex Pistols owe their career to Oscar.

And I don't know what it is about Cookie...but he's got that somthing.

You were pretty close with Bert being a rapper but Ernie has to join him as well

Judging by the clips Ernie plays clarinet, drums and trumpet.

My first thought when seeing the title was Animal but I may have to go with Ernie, he's pretty talented himself.

I'm thinking an avant-noise trio with Animal on drums, Cookie Monster on vocals and Zoot playing Zorn style would be the best thing ever

I think this might be the best thing I've ever seen.
