This particular clip had 3 standard muppets and one hippie looking one that wore sunglasses (I think). It started with one saying 'fat' another one saying 'cat' and the third saying 'sat.' Then the hippie would run up and start shouting an improvised rap with the three words and the other 3 would give him a look and he would leave. Kind of a louder version of 'Mahnamana.'

Anyone have this clip?

I know Jim Henson did Mahna Mahna, Jerry Nelson did the green guy, Frank Oz did the blue guy, but does anyone know who did the purple one? His voice sounds familiar.

I'm pretty sure the purple guy was Jim as well(at least his voice was anyway).

Hi Al Hempker, and welcome to the fun and frivolity that is the world of Muppet Central's forums.
That said, the clip you're looking for is the sketch accompanying the classic SS song "Scat Cat". The name of the hippy singer is Bip Bipadotta, along with his three backup singers. (Please excuse me if I misspelled the character's name, you find it on my Muppet Listings 14.0 thread in the Classic Muppets section of this very forum.)
If you tune in to MC radio, I'm sure you'll hear it at some point in the rotation. Hope this helps and have a good day.

Does anyone know if this clip is included on any commercial video (preferrably DVD) releases?
