Trivia
- In the 1940s, jazz musician Harry Gibson was billed as "Harry the Hipster." Gibson also did some childrens records in the early 1950's, such as "Jack and the Beanstalk, a Fairy Tale For Hip Kids," possibly inspiring Henson, who was in the age group to have been a "hip kid" around that time.
