Were they worms? I can't remember.

I went to the Museum of Television & Radio a few years ago and watched an old episode of Captain Kangaroo. Talk about unearthing parts of your brain that you haven't used since being a kid! Those worms or frogs were on the episode singing to each other, and it totally freaked me out because I hadn't seen them in so long. They were like hand puppets made out of gold lame' or something. They were almost like some weird hallucinatory image out of a Captain Beefheart song. Have any of you ever heard the song 'Ella Guru' from the 'Trout Mask Replica' album? It sounds like the Captain is dueting with one of those puppets.

Captain Kangaroo, Captain Beefheart.
Treasure House, Trout Mask.

Wow, scary!! What the hell is going on here??
