The sketch was further refined when it was performed on The Ed Sullivan Show on January 17, 1971. This time, the string quartet members include Twill, Harrison, and the unseen Beegleman on violins, and Grump on cello. Although Beegleman hasn't shown up, they presume to play Beethoven's "Minuet in G Major." Suddenly, Mahna Mahna (named "Harry" in the script, in possible tribute to the original hipster) appears as Beegleman’s substitute. However, he plays the drums instead of the violin, while also answering to Twill’s disapproval by way of wisecracks and musical puns. In the end, Twill and the rest of the quartet give in to Mahna Mahna's wild, groovy beats.
