Raposo also evidenced skill as an American funk composer, making frequent and arguably credible musical allusions (on 1970–1974 "Sesame Street") to the underground black soul and funk performers of his day. Themes written for muppet Roosevelt Franklin and the segment "H" exhibit some of Raposo's most convincing soul and funk composition and arrangement; the former contains clear allusions to the Philly Four and Lee Dorsey while the latter attempts coupling a convincing African-American Seventies funk bassline to the cycling musical structure of a European , all while still somehow retaining his signature high end accents along the upper melodic ramparts of the composition. Raposo also made several stylistic allusions to jazz-funk organist Louis Chachere in compositions "Fat, Cat, Sat" and "Some, All, None", and on both selections played the Hammond B-3 like Chachere, but using its leslies as a comedic device as would have Raposo's idol, Spike Jones.
