**Songs from The Muppets**

1. “The First Time It Happens” from _The Great Muppet Caper_

2. “The Rainbow Connection” from _The Muppet Movie_

3. “[Danny Boy](https://youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU?si=mD5k89TV1TIjsnS0)” from (according to AI anyway) S5E20 of _The Muppet Show_  
Every St. Patrick’s Day, I sing three songs: an earnest version of “Danny Boy” (the point being, I can’t sing for shit so my blasting it at the top of my lungs off-key is part of the schtick), the Muppets’ version of the song, and “Clancy Lowered the Boom.”
