Most rockin' muppet?
 
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! :D

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
http://images-mediawiki-sites.theful...2650323442.jpg

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? :laughing:

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

Animal!

Blarobbarg 01-07-2013 08:34 PM

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.

Euronomus 01-07-2013 09:27 PM

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.

My favourite one!

Floyd Pepper

Although he doesn't play an instrument, Beaker was always my favorite.

Sorry 'bout the HUMONGOUS image.

Isbjørn 01-11-2013 12:30 PM

I also have to refer to another thread...

Bert, of course.

Yeah, Beaker's cool. He sort of looks like a cross between Tom Waits and Thomas Dolby. He could be the manager!

Screen13 01-11-2013 03:38 PM



When it's you fault, you don't argue with Animal! Rock and Roll Negotiation, blunt honest style.


"MAMA!!!!!!!"
2:03 - For the Beeker fans.

...how?

Screen13 01-11-2013 05:39 PM

I always thought Beeker to be more of the engineer type, or an Electronic artist. Certainly more Dolby. Still trying to see the Waits...

nobody rocked the Muppet show harder than Sid Knishes and his Mosh Pit-tatoes!



unfortunately it was an early death for this spud boy :(

How about...

Who's the baddest chick in the whole muppet town? Miss Piggy is right! She sings like a queen. I have a crush on Kermit too. Of course Animal is the coolest.
