Check out that strut! From 1993, The Oinker Sisters (David Rudman, Joey Mazzarino, Jim Kroupa; lead vocals by Ivy Austin) remake their own 1985 hit, "A New Way to Walk", written by Joe Raposo and Mark Saltzman, with a bunch of celebs. Savion Glover choreographed the on-location dancing and even dances his way through the park with the brilliant Bill Irwin (aka Mr. Noodle) and legendary David Shiner (wearing their "Fool Moon" garb, their smash non-verbal '90s Broadway hit).
Other celebs spotted strutting their stuff (in order of first appearance): John Goodman, Garth Brooks, The Neville Brothers, Rosie O'Donnell, Ruth Buzzi (as Gladys Ormphby), Kevin Kline, Cheech Marin (as the genie in the blue Elvis-style jumpsuit, Episode 3259), Michael Chang, Maya Angelou, and Marisa Tomei. It appears Sally Jessy Raphael was cut from this version (I can't find her, but corrections are always welcome).
Ripped from Daniel Celano's copy of "Sesame Street Jam: A Musical Celebration" on Dailymotion (bit.ly/2SIo1yK).
