In the video clip, Mr. Dooves records himself singing and humming different parts (which you can see individually), while the theme song's familiar opening titles play in the centre of the screen. It's another of those videos you can watch multiple times, yet continue to notice new things!

Fraggle Rock (also known as Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock or Fraggle Rock with Jim Henson's Muppets) is a British/American/Canadian children's live action puppet television series created by Jim Henson that is about a society of Muppet creatures called Fraggles.

Fraggle Rock was co-produced by British television company Television South (TVS), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, U.S. pay television service Home Box Office and Henson Associates. Unlike Sesame Street, which had been created for a single market and later adapted for international markets, Fraggle Rock was intended from the start to be an international production and the whole show was constructed with this in mind.

Fraggle Rock aired on Nickelodeon UK & Nick Jr. UK in the mid-1990s. The spin-off series, Doozers, currently airs on Nick Jr. Australia And New Zealand.

Here's the original Fraggle Rock theme song, in all its glory!:



Sing-along with the lyrics below!:

Fraggles:
Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock

Doozers:
Work your cares away
Dancing's for another day
