So, this morning I was doing the breakfast routine in the kitchen while the kids were watching Sesame Street, when all of I sudden I hear a deep loud gritty voice say "COWABUNGA!" ... so I walk to the tele to see what's up, and I catch the last seconds of Cookie Monster devouring a surfboard. unfortunatly, no reverb on the soundtrack. —Rules to live by #314: |

My 6 year old let out a COWABUNGA! as he threw in the ball at his last soccer game. It worked! The other team froze. —http://www.satanspilgrims.com |

I think Animal would make a good surf drummer. |

Animal is based on Keith Moon who used to play in a 'surf' band. |

Phil Dirt would not agree with the "Keith Moon was in a surf band" legend. I think the band was called "The Beachcombers" as I recall. I know nothing either way, I just remember Phil posting about that, disputing it on some Yahoo Group eons ago.

Most surf drummers are animals when it comes to playing...THANK GOD! Damn I thought you guys were talking about Dusty Watson till I saw it really was Animal...Gotta love em both :>) —I'm a lover not a fighter, a hugger not a handshaker and I take friendships very seriously...Love the life you live, live the life you love. |

Yeah, I've read that he was never in an actual surf band, but that he (according to who I don't know) was supposedly influenced by surf drumming early on. I dunno but I'd like to think that that's true. Anyways, back on the subject of muppets. Cookie monster indeed rules. "C is for Cookie" is a great song. |

Just about every page you google says The Beachcombers were a "surfing group" along the lines of Jan and Dean or the Beach Boys. Maybe this is what Phil meant. I find it hard to believe surf music had penetrated England in the early 60's though. But maybe it did? —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

According to wikipedia 'The Beachcombers' played 'The Shadows' covers. |

That would make far more sense...maybe it is just the name of the band that trips people up into thinking it was surf. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Hahahaha, a muppet thread! Yeah, Dr. Teeth is based on Dr. John, and then there's bass player Floyd who's pink so he's a Pink Floyd I guess. Not sure who Zoot is based on but I'm guessing Chuck Mangione? — |

I'm guessing that Zoot is probably based on famous tenor man Zoot Sims. Wow... chalk one up for Bill's semi-obscure jazz knowledge. ~B~ |
