Let's see. I really liked that "Pig Calypaso" number from the Bob Hope episode. The "Lonely Goat" song from the Julie Andrews episode and "Crocodile Rock" from the Elton John episode were great too. There was also "Strabrough Fair" from the Paul Simon episode. The opening numbers always seem to be the best when they star either the show's guest star or Miss Piggy.

My favorites:

  • Juliet Prowse: Mahna Mahna
  • Mark Hammill/Star Wars: Rama Lama Ding-Dong (I swear, the shepherd Muppet looked like Richard)
  • Mummenschanz: Mr. Bassman
  • Alice Cooper: Welcome to my Nightmare
  • Vincent Price: (I've Got You) Under My Skin
  • Madeline Kahn: Happy Feet (Can the frog tap-dance?)
  • Gilda Radner: Lullabye of Broadway
  • Harry Belafonte: Day-O (The Bannana Boat Song)
  • Victor Borge: Macho Man

Rama Lama Ding-Dong wins hands down.


Or do I mean hands up?

What ever, my favorite is Rama Lama Ding-Dong. (On a side note does anyone know where I can get a .wav of this, or a .mp3)

It has got to be Miss Piggy in leather, singing 'I get around' on a moterbike.

It is a very clever scene - and she looks so good in leather!!!

That's right. How could I have forgotten "Mahna Mahna?" I know I don't have that one on video, but I have heard it and it is a very popular one. By the way, Beau, in answer to your question, I don't know if they have wav files of that "Rama Lama Ding Dong Song," but it is in volume 2 of the Timelife videos. So that's where you can find it. I hope this info helps.

Mahna Mahna. It is the best muppet show opening ever. Don't love the Star Wars episode opening number because it took away from time when they could have shown off the talents of Mark or the Gershwin Gargeler (or both). Or they could have done some routine where they tried to trick Luke into doing an act.

I agree. Tricking someone into performing worked with Gene Kelly. Maybe the Star Wars cast wasn't as gullible.

I'm sorry, Barry. I don't quite understand your game. I mean, you did a good job with it and all, it's just that I'm not sure what to do. I'd feel better about it if more people would participate.
