The Singing Dentists are an Anything Muppet chorus of dental surgeons who sing "Say Toothpaste, Somebody!" on Sesame Street.
The Green lead singer is performed by Kevin Clash, while his back-up singers are puppeteered by Jim Henson (Fat Blue), Martin P. Robinson (Pumpkin), David Rudman (Lavender), and Rick Lyon (Purple).[1][2]
Henson originally meant to perform the lead singer, but he wound up feeling too tired on the day the song was recorded and suggested Clash perform the lead instead.[2][3] The other dentists' singing vocals were provided by Christopher Cerf, Paul Jacobs, Angela Cappelli, and Ivy Austin.[4]
