Backstage, Kermit says they should come up with a name, and they suggest "The Grateful Dead" and "The Who".
Members of the group appeared elsewhere in the episode, including the opening with Gonzo and the opening in Statler and Waldorf's box.
One band member appears in episode 509, where he's referred to as Alexander Beetle. Two of the bugs appear in episode 515 as contestants in Gonzo's dance marathon.
