Lips, in the Spotify video is revealed to be former? Current? AT SOME POINT, he taught nursery school, which according to a Google search that took about five seconds, is basically preschool (aka kids between the ages of 3 to about 5)
SO, Electric Mayhem AU where the band actually met Lips like WAY sooner all because he was Animal’s preschool teacher. They find out he can play the trumpet and they’re like

I’m still so fucking mad about my teacher ruining my coyote I mounted at school, especially considering how Janus looks. Her body came out good because I was left alone to work on her but Mr. Commercial Taxidermist didn’t like how the form was posed and altered it without any input from me, the person who tanned the damn thing and had mounted the whole body at that point.
I love these super old Wilkins Coffee commercials by Jim Henson isn’t just what Kermit does to this “Wontkins” character, but also their backstory.
You see, Jim Henson actually didn’t like drinking coffee. So, when the Wilkins Coffee company was willing to pay Henson for these commercials, he decided not to refuse the offer, but accept it and have the scripts for each of these ads be what over-the-top situations he’d have to be in to actually drink a cuppa joe.
Like, say, being pointed at by a cannon, dropped off an icy mountain, being threatened by a bomb being tossed in his house, almost getting beheaded by a guillotine, etc.
(If I’m being honest, I’d have to be in those types of situations to drink coffee as well!)
Wilkins from Wilkins Coffee ads for the character asks?
Favorite thing about them: He's funny.
Least favorite thing about them: He's sadistic. But then that's what makes him funny.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I seem soft-spoken and friendly on the surface.
*That said, you shouldn't mess with me.
*I hyper-fixate on the things I like.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I don't drink coffee.
*I would never inflict brutal violence on someone just because they didn't like a certain food or drink brand.
*I'm human.
Favorite line:
In his first commercial, after he blasts Wontkins with a cannon, then turns it toward the viewers:
"Now what do you think of Wilkins?"
In another commercial, after he kicks Wontkins out of a tree for turning down Wilkins Coffee:
"It's autumn and the nuts are beginning to fall."
brOTP: Wontkins, if they really are friends despite all the violence.
OTP: None.
nOTP: Any human.
Random headcanon: Off-camera, he and Wontkins helped Kermit the Frog get his start in show business, since they had worked with Jim Henson before he did.
