DEBUT | 1989 |
The Dave Carp Five is a band of five fish wearing Sgt. Pepper clothes who sang "Hey Food" (not the Sesame Street version) and "Like a Sturgeon" in the "Let's Eat Infomercial" sketch on episode 112 of The Jim Henson Hour. They were a parody of the 1960s musical group The Dave Clark Five.
Some of the members included one of the Gills Brothers and a fish from the "Lullaby of Broadway" number on The Muppet Show, a red fish who sang "Splish Splash" also on The Jim Henson Hour, and the puppet who would become Ernst Stavros Grouper on Muppets Tonight.
