Saw this episode back in England. I was barely 6 at the time. I think I remember someone changing the channel just as she got to the kid in the basement. After so many years I finally get to finish it! childhood memories! Thanks.
I have a great-uncle who sang this at a family reunion and his nephews were making the stop symble where you put your finger across your throat and move it back and forth. I don't know what the big deal was as this song sounds fine. The great-uncle is a great man so I don't know why they'd be annoyed unless maybe he was singing it over and over.
I searched for this song for over 25 years. When the "complete" Muppet Show disc set came out I ordered it just to get this song. It had been deleted due to it's violence. (Sadly, Marisa Berenson's sister was killed on 9/11 in the first plane that flew into the twin towers.)
@Spookybun: the version released in Britain has this video. I've just been watching it with my niece and nephew, and going purple in the face with laughter. My nephew insisted on having me look up the words on the Internet and read it to him.
Just when you thought the Muppet Show was for kids... This isn't the first sketch I've seen where they threw adult content in for the parents watching with their kids, but it's definitely the creepiest.
Shel totally suits the Muppets. Jim and Frank are so twisted XD, I love it!
I never knew this was on the Muppet show! I learned it from the '60s folk revival group the Highwaymen. Their version of the third verse is "we shot him with a .22" rather than "Took him in the basement." I made up my own verses as a kid.
I saw this when it was first on long ago, but I never heard the song anywhere else. I always wondered where it came from. Shel Silverstein-- that guy was warped.
My great-uncle would sing a song where all I remember is the words "Your Always Welcome at Our House". He was an old man and I thought it was pretty cute as he would sing it at family reunions. I never did know where it came from and the assumption was that he had made it up so I looked in the words and this is exactly it. Exact the jokes about the oven and all was obviously not part of it.
OMG! We used to sing this song as kids and we just found the lyrics online! At our pool party we sang them to our niece who thought we were crazy! Wait til I show her this! Thank you so much for posting this video - IT MADE MY DAY!
Such a disturbing song but what a catchy tune.

I am glad to run across this. Ever since I first saw it back in 80 or 81, I have always remembered it as 'best of Muppet' stuff.

I grew up watching The Muppet Show, and my parents wonder why I have such a twisted sense of humor.

Kind of Norman Bates-esque. Which is kind of funny, now that I think of it, since Marisa Berenson was Tony Perkins's sister-in-law.
