My own bristles have been compared to those of Fraggles and Muppets on myriad occasions. A recent comparison was the “Menomena” Muppet.
Who can disagree with the fun-loving spirit of a beard like this? The more stable red chin strap provides balance to the floppity wild fire on top. And while he may bear himself zealously, confused when he is scolded for crossing the line, the beard makes it clear that this excitable boy is actually a man merely lost in the moment and not some immature brat misbehaving — which is the very reason the song is so endearing.
Edit: “Menah Menah” or “Mahna Mahna” seems to be the title of this song. However, there is an excellent PDX band called Menomena.

Not many Fraggles had beards, but this dude did.
I just found your blog and what a thrill to find three of my favorite things on one page--Tom Petty, George Harrison and the Muppets. I'll reply about the other shortly, but here, I'll give some Muppet info:
This little fellow is called Mahna Mahna, and that of course is the name of the song. His two pink friends are called Snowths.
The Fraggle that the person in the other comment noted is The World's Oldest Fraggle.:)
