The Electric Mayhem is the name of a Muppet rock band that appeared on The Muppet Show. Following The Muppet Show, they have appeared in various Muppet movies and TV specials, and have also recorded album tracks.
The band consisted of Dr. Teeth (band leader and piano), Janice (guitar), Sgt. Floyd Pepper (bass guitar), Zoot (saxaphone) and Animal (drums). Animal, Floyd, Zoot and Janice also played in the Muppet Show pit band, performing the opening and closing themes and underscoring most of the Muppet Show performances. Rowlf the Dog was the pit pianist, however.
Members
Dr. Teeth is a gravelly-voiced muppet musician. He is the leader of the band. He has a gold tooth, a scruffy beard, a fur vest, a striped shirt, and a floppy purple top hat.
A running gag on the show--due to the mechanics of working a puppet's arms from below, often a two-man job--was Teeth's arms stretching to ridiculous elastic lengths while playing his instrument.
Jim Henson based the character, which he designed and voiced, on the jazz musician Dr. John.
Janice is a fictional puppet character, who appeared on the Muppets TV show.
She is a rhythm guitar player in the show's house band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. She wears a brown hat with a turquoise gem and a feather. This fickle flower girl has entertained crushes on both Zoot and Floyd Pepper.
She also acts in sketches periodically, particularly as an inept, wisecracking nurse in a recurring parody of medical dramas.
Sgt. Floyd Pepper' is a fictional character, a Muppet who plays bass guitar for Dr. Teeth's band on The Muppet Show. A real cool hippie type with long reddish-orange hair, he usually wore a green army cap, or sometimes, while in the pit, a slightly fancier cap of stiffer, glittery material, and a red uniform with epaulets and ornate gold braid on the buttons. His name--though his surname was never mentioned on the show--is a reference to both Pink Floyd and the famous Beatles album.
