In their Disney Plus show, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem shred their way through the industry.

Grab this awesome five-star-rated 3-in-1 LEGO kit for $170 on Amazon — the lowest price in a month.The Mayhem you already know. Frontman and gold-toothed keyboardist Dr. Teeth speaks a jazz-daddy patois that favors portmanteau neologisms . On lead guitar, Ur–Valley Girl Janice keeps things chill with fer-shurring and New Age healing rituals. Floyd Pepper is the gravelly voiced bassist and closest connection the band has to reality.

Halfway through 10 episodes, creative tensions in the band start to show: Floyd is a perfectionist, Dr. Teeth can’t commit, Janice is the mommy who represses conflict, and Animal breaks stuff. By the fourth episode, the Mayhem finally gets down to recording in the studio, trying to lay down a cover of “Rockin’ Robin” with a variety of star “collabs”—Kesha, Ziggy Marley, Deadmau5, and Desiigner—all failing rather miserably.

In some ways, the Mayhem is the purest distillation of the Muppet ethos—messy adult behavior Muppetized and demystified for younger audiences. Kermit is a neurotic, passive-aggressive workaholic. Miss Piggy’s a narcissist with rage issues. The Mayhem takes a milieu associated with seedy sex, drugs, and tragic early death and translates it into creativity and team spirit.
