The Muppets are a group of puppet characters created by Jim Henson starting in 1954–55. Although the term is often used to refer to any puppet that resembles the distinctive style of The Muppet Show, the term is both an informal name and legal trademark owned by the Walt Disney Company in reference to the original characters created by Henson.
Henson has said the word "Muppet" predated the show Sam and Friends. He would sometimes tell people the term had been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet", but he also said that it was really just a made-up word.
After earlier unsuccessful attempts, the Walt Disney Company bought the Muppets in 2004. Exceptions include characters appearing on Sesame Street (as they were previously sold to Sesame Workshop, although they have always had creative rights, only reimbursing the Jim Henson Company to create and provide their Muppet characters for their use) and the Fraggles of Fraggle Rock (which are still owned by the Jim Henson Company). The legal trademark on the term "Muppet" is currently held by The Muppets Studio, a wholly owned division of the Walt Disney Company, although Sesame Workshop and the Jim Henson Company continue to occasionally use the term on their characters with certain permissions from Disney.
Jerry Nelson (born July 10, 1934) is an American Muppet puppeteer, known for his wide range of characters, singing abilities, and his frequent partnership with Richard Hunt.
Nelson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma (he was once rumored to be born in Muskogee, Oklahoma.[citation needed]) and raised in Washington, D.C. He began puppeteering for Bil Baird. His first job with the Muppets was The Jimmy Dean Show in 1965. Frank Oz was going to take some time off from puppeteering, so Nelson was hired to perform Rowlf the Dog's right hand in his stead.
After The Jimmy Dean Show closed, Nelson continued to perform Rowlf's right hand with the Dean show on its live tour. At the conclusion of the tour, Frank Oz rejoined the company. Jerry continued working with The Muppets, performing in variety shows and commercials until in 1966. The amount of work was somewhat reduced, so Jim Henson had to release Nelson. Following this, Nelson puppeteered in a number of projects in the late 1960s, but none of these would make him as famous as his years to come.

Every word you said and every time you bled it out
(that’s what I’m talking about)
As she slept in that bed next to me
Misery in the morning,
(come the morning)
I’ll hate this,
(yea I’ll hate this)
Well I’ll hate this,
(but I wont hate this and o my god )
What’s wrong with my head?
When everything I ever wanted just cant hit the spot…
The thought of me swimming in you like the sea
Makes me melt.. .
Makes me melt into one giant mess of a man
Feeding this plan
It’s something I could live without.
The thought of me running the tip of my (insecure hand) across your hips.
It will never make sense but it feeds these desires.
My lungs wouldn’t work without playing with fire.
Every word you said and every time you bled it out
(that’s what I’m talking about)
As she slept in that bed next to me
Misery in the morning,
(come the morning)
I’ll hate this,
(yea I’ll hate this)
Well I’ll hate this,
(but I wont hate this and oh my god)
What’s wrong with my head?
When everything I ever wanted just cant hit the spot…
Why can’t you see?
(I can offer something, something I swear you would never want)
Take it from me…
(This feeling in my gut, this lust, it’s fading more with every touch)
Why can’t you see?
(I can offer something, something I swear you would never want)
Take it from me…
(This feeling in my gut, this lust, it’s fading more with every touch)
Dear God, I’m empty.
And it’s become quite obvious to me.
Dear God, I’m empty.
(This is the calm before the unsettled storm.)
And it’s become quite obvious to me.
(This lighthouse lies in ruins, what am I waiting for?)
Every word you said and every time you bled it out
(that’s what I’m talking about)
As she slept in that bed next to me
Misery in the morning,
(come the morning)
I’ll hate this,
(yea I’ll hate this)
Well I’ll hate this,
(but I wont hate this and oh my god)
