I have all the materials for some kinda joke... muppets with arms in their butts, Elton being gay, the wild Animal pounding his drums... yeah but the song was so good I couldn't cobble it together.

He also had Robin sing a cute rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and in a TV special--The Muppets Go To The Movies--he had Piggy, Scooter, Gonzo, and Fozzie in the roles of Dorothy (Piggy's dog was Toto), Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. Years later, The Muppets would do their own take on Oz starring singer Ashanti as Dorothy and Pepe as Toto. XD

Well now you do. Check up on Jim Henson's legacy if you wish to know more. For example, the first movie Jim saw was The Wizard of Oz and he became an instant Oz fan, glad to have Margaret Hamilton appear in costume on Sesame Street in the 1970s, having "Dorothy's daughter" Liza Minelli on The Muppet Show as a guest, and making sure fellow Oz fan Elton John played "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on his own Muppet Show appearance.
