band

And now for something completly different. Rio and I have been walking down memory lane as of late which means the muppets, hey we were raised on them! Suddenly on the muppets website I thought to myself, they had a pretty hot band going on. The question was, how did it stand up against our favorite? Check below and see.

O.K. so we know that technically Duran Duran didn't have a saxaphone player, but someone had to be playing that sax line in Rio.

P.S. DG and I do want to give proper credit to muppets.com, which provided all of this lovely information and photos of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The Duran Duran stuff we made up. Hey, it's fun. Rio

DG- Hmm, I am digging both of the bands. I mean really were talking, the greatest Muppet band ever, vs. the band that made the album Greatest. Honestly I couldn't tell you who's better but i do know one thing, The muppets are cute, but they ain't got nothin on our boys!
