How Now Brown appeared on Sesame Street as the leader of How Now Brown and the Moo Wave from Season 16, a parody of the then-current new-wave rock bands. His group performed two songs: "Wet Paint" and "Danger's No Stranger". How Now Brown's flashy attire included a viking helmet, an earring on his left ear, an oversized red vest, and galoshes; the latter can be seen briefly in "Wet Paint," as he's dancing on a paint-smeared yellow tarp. Although he commonly held a small microphone in his left hand, it was rarely put to use.
