Muppets Mayhem Easter Eggs: Tracks 6!

The Muppets Mayhem is filled with many hidden and not so hidden Easter eggs for fans to discover. 

There are so many in fact that we're going track by track (episode by episode) to help you spot them.

Track 6: “Fortunate Son”

The opening sequence with the band playing on the side of the road was originally how the series opened before being changed to the elRay in reshoots.

Police Officer Axl works for the Paradise City Police Department. "Paradise City" is the name of a Guns & Roses song. Axl Rose is the band's front man.

 

 

Tina Teeth wears different dental related accessories throughout the years including teeth, toothpaste, and toothbrushes earrings and at CavityCon wears gold teeth earings, a gold tooth necklace, and a tooth pin. 

The music store where Floyd works is called "Jerry’s Music, established in 1934. This is a nod to former Muppet performer Jerry Nelson who was Floyd's original performer and was born in 1934. 

Dr. Teeth hails from New Orleans, which is nod to the character's real-life inspiration, musician Dr. John. Who was also known for his outlandish outfits.

As Dr. Teeth and Floyd drive off in the Molar Mobile two store signs are seen.

 

Azealia's, referring to Rapper Iggy Azalea

And Garfunkel's Art Gallery, referencing Art Garfunkel. 

Nora is seen eating Croonchy Stars, which was a real cereal released by Post in 1988 starring the Swedish Chef.

Nora has a tattoo that says “One Love.” This references Bob Marley’s beloved song, but it is also the name of a song written by Paul Williams who wrote the songs for The Muppet Movie, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa.

While gazing at the Aurora Borealis Floyd and Dr. Teeth start to form the lyrics to "Can you Picture That?"

Baby Animal joins the band when he begins using cans of beets as drums. This is a refence to the band's introduction in The Muppet Movie, when Dr. Teeth tells Animal "No, No Beat Drums" instead of eating them. Here these are literal "Beet Drums."

When we see the band remodel the bus, Lips appears his maroon tuxedo from The Muppet Show.

Gerald Teeth brushes a pair of dentures called Eugene. This is the 4th character named after Bill Barretta's brother, which he pointed out:

For some reason Floyd and Young Floyds are listed as two separate characters, but there isn't a credit for young Dr. Teeth. 

Cameos:

Cedric Yarbrough as Police Officer Axl. Yarbrough played Vic on creator Adam F. Goldberg's series The Goldbergs.

New Character Info:

We learn Dr. Teeth’s first name is Gerald.

Dr. Teeth's parents are Dentist Tina Teeth and Dental assistant Gerald Teeth Sr. 

The Electric Mayhem Bus used to be Gerald Sr. and Tina's Molar Mobile.

Dr. Teeth's gold tooth is actually his great-grand daddy's solid gold floss case.
