Unfortunately, the carolers only knew one song -- the chorus to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- but they added some variety with a special chorus for Dorothy, "We Fish You a Merry Christmas". The joke was that, while the carolers had beautiful singing voices, their speaking voices were abrasive and annoying. The group's performers included David Rudman, Joey Mazzarino, Carmen Osbahr, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo. The male carolers were Orange Gold and Lavender Anything Muppets, and the females were Green and Lavender.

I tracked down the original molder who made the parts and talked to some home workers who assembled them at their homes from 1967 through 1968. The toy was labeled as a psychedelic sensation and was skin packaged on 4-1/4 inch by 14 inch printed chipboard. More can be found out about the recent reincarnation of the op-yop at WWW.op-yop.com
