All-Time Greatest Muppet Moments – Rick’s Top 5 [VIDEO]

This Queen classic went viral a few years ago. Although some of the lyrics have been changed, Animal and the gang pay homage to one of the greatest rock songs ever.

This was one of the first skits that was performed on The Muppet Show when it debuted in 1976. For whatever reason, this clip always brings a smile to my face.

Here is the opening theme to the Muppet Show. Over the years it was redone and changed a bit, but for the most part the theme remained the same.

Unlike most of the Muppets that were controlled by one puppeteer, The Swedish Chef had the top two talents performing him. Jim Henson (Kermit) was the voice and moved the mouth, while Frank Oz (Miss Piggy) used his actual hands.
