"Pear"
Muppets with Hair since "Aquarius."
Hair is a musical written in the 1960s during the anti-war movement. Premiering off-Broadway in 1967, the musical made its Broadway debut in 1968 at the Biltmore Theatre, resulting in much controversy over its profanity, depiction of illegal drug use, and nudity.
Songs
- The Muppet Show episode 316 features the song "Aquarius" from the musical. In parody, a group of Whatnots appear throughout the number with lengths of hair that grow as they reach the end of the song.
- Bob sings "Good Morning Starshine" in the third episode of Sesame Street.
References
- In Sesame Street Episode 4128, Zoe becomes obsessed with having a head of hair. As such, she imagines herself in a music video with Gabi, Miles, Elmo and a bottle of shampoo. The throwback to the 60s and the emphasis on hair is a reference to the musical, as they sing "Take Care of Your Hair."

- The song "Telly's Aquarium" parodies the song "Aquarius".
- The Woodland Valley movie theatre is playing "Hare" in the Bear in the Big Blue House episode "Rockin' Rocko."
