Is it just me, or did all of the MuppeTelevision segments from The Jim Henson Hour have only two musical numbers?

From what I know, Science Fiction has Neutron Dance and Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Aquatic Life has Splish Splash and Maneater, Monster Telethon has The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Sweet Vacation, Musicians has The Music Just Keeps on Rolling Along and All Night Party, Health and Fitness has Jump for my Love, The Ratings Game has La Bamba and the graffitti scatting number, Garbage has I Love Trash, and Food has Food Chain Song and whatever the closing number was called.

Were there any other nubmers? it seems like the average episode definately has less songs than the average epsiode of The Muppet Song, but I think they were all full numbers, while on Muppets Tonight there were more songs in each epsidoe but the viewers usually only got to see the beginning or end of a musical numbe,r or both but the middle gets cut to a backstage or Statler and Waldorf scene.
