Fozzie interrupts Harry Belafonte's first rendition of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) on TV, bringing in a pig chorus and trying to get bananas from Beauregard, who brings him onions, pineapples and eggplants instead. The number dissolves into chaos.

Think I am re-living my childhood all over again! First with Happy Days and now with the Muppets!

My parents have Harry Belafonte's record album w/Day-O...always loved it, heard it all my life & for the 1st time realize he's singing Tally man, tally the bananas...

(... well it's typical for me.. I'm attention-deficit disordered & thought the line "Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire..." from Winter Wonderland was ..later on will come spider, which I was afraid of & figured it was coming down from a fireplace; my bro. also adhd was worse.. told me just last year he kept looking for the 4 purple mountains when he was younger.."For purple mountain's majesty.." from America the Beautiful)

So I've learned something new

...
AND this video was Hilarious, esp. during the last part..

trying to synchronize a bunch of fast De de de de day-o's w/some of those muppets!

(Oh..

wonder if I should show this to my brother...

Glad you enjoyed it. My memory of this song was at High School...singing it in break time with all my equally nutty friends!

I seemed to have missed out quite a bit on the Muppets when I was a kid...may be they weren't on British tv? Saw a few episodes in my teenage years though, and they are always funny!
