This is just to sate my curiosity, but I MUST KNOW!
I recently came upon an MP3 file of Ozzy Osbourne singing “Born to Be Wild” With the Muppets, namely Miss Piggy, yet I cannot locate any information about this event. Was it on the original Muppet Show? I don’t think so. The show aired from 76-80 and Ozzy didn’t hit it big solo until (I think) 81.
Was it on the short lived Muppet Show from the mid-90’s? I have scoured every Ozzy and Muppet oriented web site I could find and yet cannot find any reference to this.
The last time I saw that episode, they cut a great line from it. The father-son William Tell act, where they walk offstage, the son has an arrow through his head. The father said, “How many times have I told you–DON’T MOVE!” and the son, pointing to the arrow, replied, “You know me, dad. In one ear, out the other!”
They cut that whole bit. Apparently it was too disturbing for kids.
I wouldn’t mind that so much, but they left the running gag of Gonzo trying to sell his soul to the devil.
TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING:
Five months, four weeks, 2 hours, 37 minutes and 57 seconds.
7244 cigarettes not smoked, saving $905.55.
Extra time with Drain Bead: 3 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours, 40 minutes.
Not so! I don’t remember what episode this came from, but it was a sketch with a number of pigs doing a samba number. At the end they got Kermit to come out and sing a verse, which ended thus:
He may not be Jewish, but he’s got standards. I heard rumors about Miss Piggy and the Electric Mayhem Band that’d curl your whiskers.
That reminds me of a bad joke I heard as a young’n and didn’t understand until years later that asked: “Why does Miss Piggy douche with Honey and Vinegar?”
