One of its first performances was on Our Place, where a Balloon-Headed Conductor played it while popping balloons. He would later go on The Muppet Show to play Pizzicato. The song was also performed in episode 124 of The Muppet Show with Zelda Rose as a librarian who conducts a group of noisy patrons (Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Hilda, Nigel, and Wayne and Wanda) as they cough, rustle paper and chew gum to the tune of "The Blue Danube." The sketch was later marketed on its own as the Muppet Meeting Film "Teamwork in Action".

The song is also featured on the Sesame Street album, Elmo and the Orchestra. In Music Works Wonders, Big Bird, a duck, and a chicken make bird noises to the tune of "The Blue Danube." Later, Telly joins in with his triangle instrument, Rosita uses her feet to stomp, and Hoots the Owl plays his saxophone to the tune. It was also performed by Béla Fleck as a "concerto for banjo and two chickens". (EKA: Episode 4003) In the second episode of The Jim Henson Hour, Kermit dances in water to the tune of "The Blue Danube" at one point when water gets on the floor of Muppet Central. In the Bear in the Big Blue House episode, "As Different as Day and Night," Ojo and Treelo dance slow to this music. On Sesamgade the song played during episode 18, where Elmo made a dance jukebox. Gonzo conducted a chorus of chickens (including Jon Voight) in clucking "The Blue Danube" for The Muppet Show Live in 2001. The song was again performed by a group of musical chickens in a 2008 a viral video under the title "Classical Chickens." The video was posted on various websites (including MySpace, YouTube, Vimeo, and others) and was said to be posted by Gonzo himself using such usernames as thegreatgonzo, weirdowhatever and bluenosedgeek. The song plays in Muppets Most Wanted during Christoph Waltz and Sweetums' dance. The tune was performed in The Muppets Take the Bowl as the "Boo Danube," by a set of ghosts and skulls.
