The first instrument that appears played by a Muppet is called a shekere or axatse. The second instrument (two small shakers in each hand) are called caxixi. The instrument Harry is playing is called a "talking drum," and has many names from different cultures.

these masks aren't scary. i watched this with a sense of wonderment and amazement as a very small child when it was on tv. i looked for this song for years. i was THRILLED to find it on youtube. it lets me relive a fantastic moment in my life from before the truly scary things in my life - the adult bullies around me - ruined my childhood by crapping all over the dreams and ideas of a sweet little boy. THIS IS NOT SCARY. don't cheat your children.

And the message of the song is one of understanding and acceptance, an important one for children to pick up

Despite a lot of effort, this does move me to tears.

no doubt, take the muppet show off the air and put on more idiot cartoons. this is what is called the dumbing down of America.

[PoptartKing86]

Agreed.
