Beavis and Butt-Head - Do 'Grant Lee Buffalo - Mockingbirds'




This is for the records. I managed to avoid posting this for a very long time but here it is. The blog is incomplete without a reference to this. If you started listening to Grant Lee Buffalo in 1990s I assume you also watched MTV a lot and no explanation is necessary. If you are a younger fan, here is some information:

Beavis and Butt-Head is an animated sitcom that aired on MTV from 1993 to 1997.  It followed the misadventures of two teenagers, Beavis and Butt-head. Interspersed with the episodes were music videos, viewed and commented on by the two title characters.

Info from Muppet Wiki
During the music video, Mockingbirds by Grant Lee Buffalo, Butt-Head notice there are a lot of big Muppet-like birds there and then Beavis talks about Big Bird and how he never poops.

Script from imbd.com
[watching the video for 'Mockingbirds' by Grant Lee Buffalo] 
Butt-head Is this another video with big Muppets?
Beavis Yeah, yeah, here we go. Seems like they have these, like, Big Bird things in every video now.
Butt-head Yeah.
Beavis I was just thinking, y'know, um, you ever notice, um, Big Bird, he never poops.
Butt-head Yeah.
Beavis Yeah, yeah. It's like, they should have him poop. Then it'd be more realistic.
Butt-head Then Big Bird could have a Big Turd.
