My favorite song from The Muppet Show is one that I can't believe nobody has mentioned yet. My favorite is...

Scooter-Six-String Orchestra

This is such a great song. It is extremely catchy and has just a great feel to it. Other favorites of mine are:

Robin-Halfway Down The Stairs
Gonzo-Workin' At The Carwash Blues
Gonzo-Won't Somebody Dance With Me
Link, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter and Robin-Nothing Like A Sailor's Life
Brooke Shields and The Muppets-I'm Falling
Rowlf-The Cat Came Back
There's also a song I don't know the name of but it's all piano. It starts out Rowlf is playing the song and then Fozzie comes up and they play together. Plus, there's some great lines in the skit.

There's also a ton more I can't think of right now.

 

[Jackie]

I MENTIONED SIX STRING ORCHESTRA! Nobody listens to Jackie....lol maybe I mentioned it in another thread...

 

[TravellingMatt]

I mentioned this a while ago, but if you want the original version of "Six-String Orchestra", it was performed by Harry Chapin on a CD entitled "Verities & Balderdash", and is still in print. I can see why Jim Henson wanted to use this song for "The Muppet Show". Also, the original version of "Workin' At The Car Wash Blues" is on Jim Croce's "best of" CD, entitled "Photographs & Memories".

 

[Gentle Giant]

Gonzo is that Fozzie and Rowlf song Hi Diddly Dee. That's the only one I can think of. I also like Animal sings Gershwin

 

[electricmayhem]

I like Angus McGonagall and Mark Hamill gargaling Gershwin together. If it even counts as a song that is!
