Research - Baby Tooth & the Funky Funk

Baby Tooth and the Funky Funk
Baby Tooth and the Funky Funk are a trio of rod Muppet monsters from Sesame Street who danced in many segments including "Feel the Beat." They were used to teach various forms of dance, from hip-hop to ballet to square dancing. Kevin Clash performed Baby Tooth. They started appearing around 1991 and last appeared in new segments in 1997.
