How Now Brown and the Moo Wave

From Muppet Wiki

How Now Brown and the Moo Wave was a Muppet new-wave rock band seen on Sesame Street in 1984. The band's lead singer was How Now Brown, whose backup singers were two cows, including Natalie.

The band was made up of three Anything Muppets, Green, Pumpkin, and Lavender. The keyboardist and How Now Brown tend to stand out more, as the keyboardist wore a headband with built-in cow horns, and How Now Brown wore a viking helmet with horns attached to it. The drummer and the guitarist wear matching gold necklaces, with the drummer bearing a resemblance to Cyndi Lauper, because of the bright flourescent pink she wears, along with the giant gaudy earrings.

Some of the performers of the group include Christopher Cerf as How Now Brown, along with Camille Banora and Ivy Austin as the cows.

The band performed two songs, "Danger's No Stranger" and "Wet Paint." Both videos have on-screen captions based on the songs, along with MTV-style captions that refer to Splotchkat Records, an in-joke reference to composer Christopher Cerf’s publishing company, although on the Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street vhs, the MTV-style captions on "Wet Paint" refer to Mootown Records, a parody of Motown Records. Both of their performances can be found on the video section at Sesamestreet.org.
