Lol, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

This is very easily my favourite episode of Season Five thus far (and I've barely scratched the surface as far as that's concerned). The vast array of music references certainly didn't go amiss, and it was nice to see some of the more minor IFs get their turn in the spotlight - I remember commenting after reading her page in the "Gallery of Friends" that I wanted to see more of Fluffer Nutter's wilder side in future episodes, and that whim was finally answered here. Though this episode quite blatantly belonged to Bloppy Pants. That, and Bloo's mockney accent.

Admittedly, I wasn't wild about the "Designer Jeans" number - not quite my taste in music, I'm afraid...frankly, Wilt, Ed and Coco's "Potatoes" mantra was a lot more interesting and experimental - but it served its purpose.

Oh yes, and Wilt looked absolutely dazzling in his climatic get-up..Bootsy Collins, was it, PBL? Thanks, I knew it looked familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Though I can't say I quite get all the hoopla over catching a brief glimpse of him in the bath tub...I mean, don't we get to see him naked in every episode?
