No Muppets sang "There's No Business Like Show Business" with Phyliss Diller. It was with Ethel Merman and the only song ever to be used twice on teh Muppet Show was "Bein' Green" sung by Kermit The Frog.

Here's a list of the Muppets that I know sang "There's No Business Like Show Business" with Ethel Merman:

Kermit The Frog
Fozzie Bear
Miss Piggy
Scooter
Wayne
Wanda
Janice
Floyd
Gonzo
George
Mildred (I think that's her name)
Nigel
A few Whatnots.

There's more, I just don't remember all of them.

That's not true. They did "Inchworm" at least twice. Once in the Charles Aznavour episode in season one and then again later on in the season three Danny Kaye ep. I know there are others, I just can't think of them right now :stick_out_tongue:

I guess someone has to update tehir website.

Well, at least I know who (somewhat) was in the Ethel Merman version.

They did a few songs more than once:

There's No Business Like Show Business (Ethel Merman and Phyllis George)
Yes, We Have No Bananas (Steve Martin, Phyllis George and Jean-Pierre Rampal)
Carbon Paper (Leo Sayer and Phyllis George)
You and I and George
Inchworm (Charles Aznavour and Danny Kaye)

I'm sure there are others, but I can't remember them. So there! :stick_out_tongue:

Also, George appeared during the backstage part of this number, but he didn't come on stage with the other muppets.

Which muppets sang "Smarter than Man" in the Joan Baez episode.
