How Now Brown appeared on Sesame Street as the leader of How Now Brown and the Moo Wave from Season 16, a parody of the then-current new-wave rock bands. His group performed two songs: "Wet Paint" and "Danger's No Stranger".

How Now Brown's flashy attire included a viking helmet, an earring on his left ear, an oversized red vest, and galoshes; the latter can be seen briefly in "Wet Paint," as he's dancing on a paint-smeared yellow tarp. Although he commonly held a small microphone in his left hand, it was rarely put to use.

NotesEdit

• In addition to performing his voice, Christopher Cerf also composed the group's songs with Jon Stone.
• The captions on the Count It Higher release of "Wet Paint" miscredit How Now Brown as "How Now Brown Cow", although the host Count von Count introduces him by his actual name.
