I even came up with a bit once where Don appears at the Muppet Theatre and tries to write a new theme song:

Don: "I have it! I have it! Listen to this:

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights
It's time to get things started...get things started...get things...get...oh, I'll never get it, never, EVER!!!!" *bangs his head on the piano keys*

Floyd: "And you never will at the rate you're goin', man! That's the OLD theme!"

LOL. I can hear that dialogue in my mind with Floyd laughing at him!

Some more of Don Music's Greatest Hits:

WHISTLE, WHISTLE LITTLE BIRD
(to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Whistle, whistle, little bird
Eating crumbs is quite absurd
Have a ham and cheese on rye
And a piece of cherry pie
If the crumbs are all you want
Don't come to my restaurant!

***

STORMY NIGHT
(to the tune of the Sesame Street Theme)

Stormy night, not even a star in sight
On my way to where the sky is dark
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Yellowstone Park?

***

MARY HAD A BICYCLE
(to the tune of Mary Had A Little Lamb)

Mary had a bicycle, it was as red as fire
And every time she wanted to ride, the bicycle had a flat tire

I even came up with a bit once where Don appears at the Muppet Theatre and tries to write a new theme song:

Don: "I have it! I have it! Listen to this:

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights
It's time to get things started...get things started...get things...get...oh, I'll never get it, never, EVER!!!!" *bangs his head on the piano keys*

Floyd: "And you never will at the rate you're goin', man! That's the OLD theme!"

Or this one, where a distraught Don is approached by Gonzo:

Gonzo: "Wow, Don! You have talent! I love what you do!"

Don: "Really?"

Gonzo: "Yeah! The way you bang your head on the piano...you get a good sound out of it! Could you show me how to do that?"
And his version of Yankee Doodle goes:
Yankee Doodle stayed at home cooking for his pony,
Put spaghetti in a pot and called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle stir it up, let it gently simmer
Add the pepper and the salt and that's your pony's dinner.
