The crazy-haired guy who disrupts the scene is Bip Bippadotta, who has appeared in a number of forms (including the "Mah Na Mah Na," and who looks like a hybrid of the later Dr. Teeth and Animal, though I don't think Bip ever played an instrument.
My favorite part is around 1:37, when the three guys are trying to block out Bip, and you can see that the muppeteer clenched his fist, resulting in one of the best Muppet facial expressions:
