The answer to your question, Sam Eagle, is many things, but mostly America rum.

Who know the guy was such a lush?

I hadn't realized that I needed for that to exist. Thank you.

Perfect opportunity to recycle this chestnut.

Now I want a bumper sticker for The Electric Mayhem to put on my car.

One day I'm going to get tired of these muppet covers. I hope that day is far, far away.

Now I want a bumper sticker for The Electric Mayhem to put on my car.

First search result for "bumper sticker for The Electric Mayhem": DR. TEETH & THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM - Trademark Details

Then I found this sticker for sale. It doesn't grab me, but then again I'm not a fan of their logo on the drum kit in this video. Perhaps we'll have to make our own.

So here are a couple of CDs in my collection. Everyone has the first one, of course; it's the best Electric Mayhem hits compilation released so far. The second is a little more unusual; it's Animal's solo release from 1992, but it turned out nobody wanted 43 minutes of drum solos.

(Yes, I made these myself. Professional cover design at reasonable rates.)

I was going to get all snippy about how Sam the Eagle dancing around was totally out of character, until I realized it was a dream sequence.

Now I'm all snippy about how Sam getting sloshed is even more out of character.

Good lord. If you find it difficult to dance with any sort of fluidity, like I do, imagine how incredibly hard it must be to get a puppet to do it. Wow.

And now I am down the rabbit hole of neo-Muppet videos, one after the other . . .

Faint of Butt, I have cash. And paypal.
Let me be your friend.

This might be up my alley. (my living room)

This is one of my favorite Muppet videos.

This is why all Muppet Music Videos MUST be for songs over 25 years old... also this.

I like the image of Wittgenstein watching that video.

Those are great, Faint of Butt.

Faint of Butt, I'm pushing money at the screen, and yet...nothing is happening. This fills me with sadness.

Superb! This is the song The Electric Mayhem was destined to play. The world is such a delightful, shiny place.

I should be happy about this, but for two things: the software-generated horns and the absence of Trumpet Girl on trombone

Ok, fine. I'm still happy about this.
