In an episode of Sesame Street, the tune is performed by Placido Flamingo with a quartet made up of three Honkers and Olivia. In a 1990's insert, Samuel Ramey sang a spoof of the song about the letter L (EKA: Episode 3438). The song was used in preview clips of The Muppets when Kermit the Frog interrupts Miss Piggy and Pepe the King Prawn practicing their duet in her dressing room. The song was replaced in the actual film by "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. The song plays in Muppets Most Wanted during Gonzo's indoor running-of-the-bulls act.
