This is a song I've loved ever since I was a kid, and because it seems to be parodying some sort of alternative rock song/band from the '80s (and b/c I'm a classic SS/Muppets geek, lol 
) I still love it today! I've never (or should I say "n-n-n-never"...you'll see why if you click the link 
) been able to figure out what this a parody of, though. To me it sounds vaguely like a Talking Heads/Blondie type parody. For some reason, when I was little, I thought it sounded a bit like "Loser" by Beck (that song was really popular at the time they showed this skit a lot from what I remember), though I now consider that comparison to be off since this song is synth-heavy in the chorus. All that being said, could someone please tell me what they think this song and/or band might be a parody of?!

Jerry Nelson voiced the character. Generally speaking, he sounds kinda like that, only with a bit more of a New York accent (exception - The Count, ironically his most famous character
)
