I found it on Muppet Wiki, then You Tube, It's the Martian Radio bit from Sesame Street with the Yip Yips from 1972. It is my friends Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson doing the voices.

Prince was on Muppets Tonight in 1997, He preformed Starfish and Coffee. We were told by his team not to address him or even look at him. Once he was on set and the puppets started joking with him, all barriers came down. It turns out he was a big fan of the Muppets and he had a lot of fun doing the show. The Muppets have a way of bringing out the child in all of us.

I remember going into an obscure secondhand record shop in Manchester (tail end of the 80s) and finding that someone had offloaded a ton of old Impulse gatefolds (Sun Ra, Pharoh Sanders etc). They were ludicrously cheap (like £4 each maybe?). Suffice it to say they all came home with me that day!
