Animal is a popular puppet with an explosive personality that is characterized by being a member of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, the rock band that always appears in The Muppet Show.
The inspiration for this character is based on the spirit of what was happening in the United States in the mid 70's, Animal is a being with bushy eyebrows that presents an irate behavior, broken clothes, wild and noisy attitude.
It is said that Animal is inspired by four great rock drummers: Ginger Baker of Cream, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac and Keith Moon of The Who.
The most overlapping traits are Keith Moon's drumming look, and Ginger Baker's hair color and energetic, crazy drumming.
Animal is one of the most stubborn Muppetts and is known for being a braggart and annoying the show's guests during his musical performances:
1.- Animal y Rita Moreno.
Fever is a 1956 song written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell. It was originally recorded by singer Little Willie John, but became famous in Peggy Lee's 1958 version.
The song talks about the love he feels for someone and the feelings that this provokes. It's like a fever that's hard to bear. You feel that heat when the couple embraces, kisses and even in the morning.
It is what you feel when you are in love.
This performance earned Rita Moreno an Emmy Award in 1977.
2.- The Battle of the Drummers between Animal and Buddy Rich.
Aside from the Battle between Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa on the Sammy Davis Jr. Show in 1966, this is one of the best ever presented on television.
Animal, like a sore loser, ends up throwing a bass drum at Buddy Rich's head.
3.- Animal and Harry Belafonte.
Harry Belafonte was an important artist since the 1950s, he won a Tony Award in 1954 and five years later became the first black actor to win an Emmy for the television special.
He released an album in 1955 called Calypso, which sold millions of copies and sparked a fever for Caribbean rhythms. Among Belafonte's admirers was the young Bob Dylan, who made his album debut in the early 1960s playing harmonica on Belafonte's "Midnight Special".
This man, besides standing out as an actor and singer, was a great political activist.
Here, both Belafonte and Animal surrender to each other.
