Don Music
Composer Don Music was a character on the children's television show Sesame Street who would become frustrated by his inability to think of the final line to songs such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Mary Had a Little Lamb, and react by banging his head on his piano.
Don Music debuted in 1973, and was off by the next season, as parents complained to the Children's Television Workshop that their kids were imitating him by banging their heads against things.
He kept a picture of Sesame Street songwriter and composer Joe Raposo on the wall, although it was never actually identified as such. Don Music also maintained a bust of Ludwig von Beethoven on his piano, and often apologised to "Ludwig" for his failure as a composer.
Don Music was performed by Richard Hunt.
