oh man!!! I wish I had caught this thread earlier, cause I just had a puppet built for me by one of the guys working for the US tour of Avenue Q (one of the most hilarious and inventive musicals I've ever seen) and my whole reason behind buying one was to one day, yes, record a music video with him... er... "it".

oh, and:
onetwothreefour, onetwothreefour: rock facts rock facts ROCK FACTS!

sorry, I thought I saw a Sifl and Olly reference up there somewhere...
