The Kate Pierson Muppet was the back-up singer in the song "Furry Happy Monsters" on Sesame Street.
The real Kate Pierson is the lead singer of the band The B-52s. She collaborated with R.E.M. on "Shiny Happy People," the song spoofed by "Furry Happy Monsters".
Notes[]
- The character was erroneously referred to as "Kate Monster" in a profile on CTW.org.[1] Ironically, D'Abruzzo would go on to play a character named Kate Monster in Avenue Q.
- On Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music, the character is credited as "Muppet Rocker."
