The Electric Mayhem: 8 Muppetational T-Shirt Designs of the Muppets’ Most Famous Band

Today is the 23rd of November in the year 2011. If you don’t know the significance of that date, it can only mean one thing–you’re not a true Muppet fan. That’s right, my friends. Today is the day that The Muppets’ first theatrically-released film in 12 years–appropriately titled “The Muppets”–finally comes to theaters! I’ve been a fan of the Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_(Muppet), and the rest of the gang (seriously, I could go on and on and on) for as long as I can remember. It would be an understatement to simply say that I’m excited.

As much as I love the core characters, one particular group of Muppets holds a special place in my heart. Of course I’m talking about one of the greatest rock bands in existence–Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The band consists of five members: Dr. Teeth (obviously) on keys, Janice on lead guitar, Sgt. Floyd Pepper on bass, Zoot on sax, and fan-favorite Animal on drums. Are you familiar with the band? If not, you need to watch this segment from the original “Muppet Movie.”

In celebration of the release of the newest Muppet film, I’ve compiled a collection of eight Muppetational t-shirt designs featuring The Electric Mayhem. Check them out!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Happy Mardi Gras! Today is Fat Tuesday…the peak and end of the Mardi Gras season. While we normally associate Mardi Gras with New Orleans, the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States goes down in Mobile, AL. Outside of the United States, this time of the year (immediately before Lent) is called Carnival. The Carnival of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the biggest carnival in the world, and the biggest popular party on the planet, according The Guinness Book of World Records 2010. The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is also considered the world’s most famous. Stay tuned for more Mardi Gras facts and trivia in our Mardi Gras video that will post later this week. In the meantime, check out a couple of our Mardi Gras inspired designs below.

This day in history…

Twenty eight years ago today, the final episode of the TV Series M*A*S*H set the record for the most watched episode in US television history with 105.97 million viewers.  This record was not suprassed until 2010 by Super Bowl XLIV.

According to Wikipedia, “Stories persist that the episode was seen by so many people that, during the commercial breaks of the episode, the New York City Sanitation/Public Works Department reported that the plumbing systems had broken down in some parts of the city.”

M*A*S*H won a total of 14 Emmy’s during its eleven-year run, and it’s influence on pop culture endures today. Though the show ended twenty-eight years ago on February 28th, 1983, references to M*A*S*H are found in That 70s Show, Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons and Scrubs. The M*A*S*H logo spoof continues to be a popular t-shirt design for military-themed sorority and fraternity parties, birthday parties and other military themed events.
