"When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love," from Burton Lane and Yip Harburg's musical Finian's Rainbow, was parodied on The Muppet Show as "When I'm Not Near the Fish I Love." This variation was performed by an eel as the UK Spot on episode 124, with altered lyrics from an unknown source. The revised lyrics include a series of fish puns, replacing, for example, "For Sharon I'm carin'/But Susan I'm choosin'" with "For herring I'm caring/For tuna, I swoon-a." The eel appears to sing and swim underwater around real fish.
