How Now Brown and the Moo Wave was a Muppet new-wave rock band seen on Sesame Street in Season 16.^[1] The band's lead singer was How Now Brown (voiced by Christopher Cerf, who also wrote the group's music), whose backup singers were two reccuring Muppet cows (voiced by Cheryl Hardwick and Ivy Austin).

The other band members were comprised of three Anything Muppets: a Pumpkin keyboardist (who wears a headband with built-in cow horns), a Green drummer, and a Lavender guitarist (both wear matching gold necklaces).

The band performed two songs: "Danger's No Stranger" and "Wet Paint." Both videos have MTV-style captions that refer to Splotchkat Records, an in-joke reference to composer Chris Cerf’s publishing company; although on Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street, "Wet Paint" features different captions referring to Mootown Records, a parody of Motown Records.

NotesEdit

• The cows of the Moo Wave also did backup vocals for Kermit the Frog's song "Do-Op Hop," also composed by Christopher Cerf.
• The black and white cow was puppeteered by Pam Arciero.
