The Robin

The Robin appears in the number "Rockin' Robin" sung by Janice and The Electric Mayhem in episode 510 of The Muppet Show. She appears later in the episode with Jean-Pierre Rampal in his dressing room and inspires the flautist to play "The Little Shepherd." At the 2001 MuppetFest convention, Karen Prell mentioned that the Robin puppet was originally designed without knee joints, even though it was supposed to dance. Dave Goelz jumped in and engineered knee joints for the puppet, and then performed the character's feet.
