If there's one thing that makes some people squirm more than the idea of a functional, happy sex worker it's the frank discussion of disabled sexuality.

There's a super-weird version of Mahna Mahna that I've been trying to find. I'll ask around about it. It might have been a different song, actually. It involved a couple of very quick creatures zipping across the stage, being interrupted (with a club) by a slow, trudging creature. I'm pretty sure it was a Muppet Show bit, introduced by Kermit.

*daha*

It was Trudge Trudge
