This song was from the movie "The Night They Raided Minsky's". Jack Burns (head writer on "The Muppet Show") played the Candy Butcher in that movie.
A Candy Butcher was like a carnival barker, who sold boxes of candy, a few of which contained expensive prizes, at burlesque & vaudeville shows. It was a scam, since a "plant" in the audience always found one of the expensive prizes in his box, right at the start of the Candy Butcher's sales pitch, as "proof" it was on the level.
Yay, finally fozzie gives statler and waldorf a taste of their own medicine. I did love their heckling when i was a kid, though. and that chinese gorilla always makes me laugh!
needs more views!!!!

This proves that the Muppets aren't just for kids, and that's a good thing.

If its lame, then u have a bad taste in comedy. It cannot get any better than this. Lets see u do better. The Muppet Show was the peak in comedy.

Perhaps the closest Kermit and gang ever got to being politically incorrect, not counting Roosevelt Franklin from Sesame Street.
