The Zen of Cookie Monster Singing

There’s a funny article on OpinionJournal about Cookie Monster singing.

Death-metal vocalizing is also known as Cookie Monster singing, if not in tribute to, at least in acknowledgment of, the “Sesame Street” puppet that blurts in a guttural growl, his words discharged so rapidly that they tend to collide with each other.

The article goes on to mention Melissa Cross, who was interviewed recently on Fresh Air about her Zen of Screaming instructional DVD.

I’m not a fan of death metal, but the detailed examination of screaming is oddly interesting to me.
