Thank you for reminding me why I keep coming back to the Internet. This is worth all the bullshit.
Total and utter brilliance.
Animal just stole every scene.
Statler and Waldorf strongly influenced the man I am today.
I remember watching this as a child !!
Dude bedazzled a showercap before it was cool.
Absolutely classic 👍 the Muppets were the best ❤️
Coked out oh his mind, all the time! Oh, and so was Elton John.
An awesome outfit to wear on a kids show. Feathers, psychedelic colours and all. That will certainly capture the attention of any kid channel surfing in ’78
Reminds me of a Disney special I loved as a kid… Sir Elton John duetted “Don’t go breaking my heart,” with Minnie Mouse… Always a bop
I always wanted to know if Janice was married to Floyd or Zoot?
Don’t you love the Liberace bathing cap
Cocaine is a hell of a drug..
Dr. Teeth kinda looked like Elton.
Timeless!
I can’t believe I’m going to to get see Elton this summer.
I remember watching this when I was little (maybe a rerun). The crocodiles scared me (I thought they were going to eat him and the band), I hated this song for a long time after seeing it.
He looks more like a muppet than the muppets do.
I’m sad that Dr John was never a guest and never jammed with Dr Teeth
Grande 💫
Elton John has the clothes 8 year old me thought I’d wear every day, and I’m all about it
Muppet Show 😍😍😍😍
YES!!! 5 year old me remembers watching this fantastic moment and dancing around the living room. I wish I could tell Jim Henson how much I appreciate his life’s work and how it made me who I am today. From my cat named Kermit to my motorcycle named Gonzo with a stuffed super Gonzo in a cape flying of my handle bars, the muppets are with me every day. Thanks Jim
Cute

Animal is the best drummer of our generation. Change my mind.
Hearing the voice of Elmo in those crocodile La La Las!
So he really is a Muppet.
Big smiles. I would watch on Nickelodeon.
My dad was a TV as salesman back in the 70s, and gave me a poster of the Muppet Show, with pictures of all the guest stars those first couple of seasons – probably just some free schwag he was always getting from the network.
I remember loving that poster, but always thought they’d included a typo, as *surely* that guy’s name was really “John Elton”, not the other way around! #7yearoldlogic
I think this is the clearest I’ve ever heard the vocals for this song, and the first time I could understand the words!
Thanks for the vid, OP. They don’t make shows like this anymore!
