@1972simba1: Yep, the "caveman" guy is Rockin' Richard.
And about Jim Henson, well there were some things Jim did on Sesame Street that were either mind-boggling or just plain frightening; but in both cases, very, very memorable. That was what made Jim a true Muppet genius.
Man, Sesame Street in the 70's was such a carefree time.
@TelephoneRock4ever Do you suppose Rockin' Richard is really a caveman? if so, is his father Mr. Moses? (watch the Sesame Street Newsflash "First Day of School" and you will see what I mean)
LMAO the best. yes things were heapos more fun back then I used to ring up operators & sing that operator song to them & they kept listening Telecom had alot of freetime on their hands in those days.
Yes I had already contemplated that even at 87 years old so I rang on a public phone booth which cost me nothing as it was telecom free call that was the only number i could call on a public phone with no money & all I could think of saying was singing the operator song. The things you do as a kid.
(1:10) I wonder if Wile E. Coyote was the one who dropped that piano?

@Cuteblondie1972: I understand why this would scare you, but Rockin' Richard's eyes.....well, that's the comic relief for me. He's so hilarious.

It's a little hard to see, but watch for Richard's hair at 0:19. Apparently, he's having trouble staying down! :-D
I wish there was a high-quality vid of this, with the end left in.

Yeah, I saw that! Pretty silly!
Of course, Richard had those wide eyes throughout the whole video. That's what made him look silly.
