I certainly wasn’t thinking of the ma-na-ma-na song - it’s just that I heard and remembered the “murgladop” sound as four less than distinct syllables (although the delivery and intonation were exactly what I had in mind).

Heh… you can imagine my frustration at trying to Google it (why didn’t I think to ask earlier?).

I too forgot everything other than the Muppets in that sketch.

…now, can anyone find the pre-muppets “Golden An” sketch? As in something like “I"m Dan, with a Van, looking to steal the Golden An” … or something like that.

Ohhhh yeah… “take the golden an in the tan van and give it to Dan who takes it to Fran”
(PS … don’t tell anyone of the plan!)

Is this it?

(I guess you already found it.)

So I’m watching the Bernadette Peters episode. I didn’t have a teen crush on her when the show was aired, but she was sure cute. It’s hard to believe she’ll be 60 next month.

Here it is. You had a pretty good memory of it.

A similar one, one of my favourites, is this one.

GuanoLad, you’re my hero. Thanks!

Dopers rock!

I think “Pre-Muppet Show” would be a better adjective. Sesame Street predates The Muppet Show, but it does not predate Muppets, as Jim Henson referred to his puppets as “Muppets” pretty much from the beginning.

I’m wondering if they appeared again in another short sketch, just doing the alternate noises.

The Muppet Wiki, which is your source for everything Muppet-related, has a whole page about Koozebane. The DeLuise aliens, called Merdlidops, only appeared once on The Muppet Show, but other Koozebanians appeared on the show as well. Probably the most famous of these sketches is Kermit covering the Koozebanian mating ritual.

@Chanteuse

Since we’re already on the subject of the Muppets, maybe someone can tell me what episode had the “Rockin’ Robin” skit. That was one of my faves!

Again, the Wiki gives the answer- the tenth episode of the fifth season, featuring Jean-Pierre Rampal.
