DEBUT | 1996 |
The Irish Rodents sing the opening number on episode 105 of Muppets Tonight while catapulting Muppet cheeses (including Swiss Cheese) into a giant fondue pot. As the number draws to a close, the rats go skinny dipping in the vat of molten cheese.
Other songs by the band, according to a vinyl record adorning a wall in PizzeRizzo, include "Salty Rat", "Pied Piper's Call", and "Take It and Scurry".
The group's name is a reference to the Canadian Irish folk group The Irish Rovers.
