Does anyone know anything about maybe an episode of the muppet show guest
starring Michael Stipe?

I found about 45 seconds of music from the possible episode on napster but
that was all that was available and I've never seen it since.

I'm interested in obtaining a copy of that show, if it exists.

Are you thinking of the Sesame Street episode where REM performed
"Shiny Furry Monsters"?

#3 of 34 by gypsi on Fri May 5 07:54:46 2000:

Ooh...they showed that on VH1 during the Behind the Music special.  I loved
that episode.  =)  The muppets (monsters) seemed to dig it too...

#4 of 34 by jules on Fri May 5 12:16:56 2000:

yeah we got part of it on napster and it rocks

#5 of 34 by carla on Fri May 5 12:28:23 2000:

Yes, gnatalie, that's it exactly!
I want a copy of that show.

Is there an REM behind the music?

<A muppet show behind the music would certianly be interesting to say the
least>

I dunno....I'm not sure I could stomach the fifteen minutes of tragic
flashbacks to Grover's drug-ridden days of despair part.

A muppet show behind the music would take a few hours.

And Grover wasn't on the Muppet Show (unless he had a cameo).

#8 of 34 by otaking on Fri May 5 15:43:55 2000:

Grover had a cameo. There was one episoed of the original Muppet Show where
the Sesame Street characters showed up and sang their theme song.

I wouldn't be surprised if Grover had been on a few times, he just wasn't a
regular "Cast member"... the only muppet regular on both to my memory was
KErmit.

#10 of 34 by orinoco on Fri May 5 16:39:29 2000:

Kermit's nephew Robin also showed up on both.  And there was a Christmas
special of some sort with the muppets, the sesame street monsters, and some
of the critters from Fraggle Rock.  No, Grover wasn't a Muppet Show regular,
but I found the idea of him struggling with a heroin addiction just too
amusing to pass up.

Oh, god, what's that movie?  You know, the one with all the pseud-muppets
addicted to smack and having orgies? <saw it in art class in Pitt>

#12 of 34 by otaking on Fri May 5 19:07:15 2000:

Meet The Feebles. A great movie from the twisted mind of Peter Jackson,
dierctor of the upcoming Lord of the Rings movies.

#13 of 34 by carla on Sat May 6 23:02:44 2000:
