- The Muppets have done some of the songs and song parodies ever. During one
- of the shows, they cut to a pastoral scene with Muppet sheep roaming about.
- (Soundtrack is "Faithful Shepard" by Handel)
-
- Sheep 1 (clearly a male): "Ram"
- Sheep 2 (youngster): "Lamb"
- Sheep 3 (baby) : "Ding-Dong"
-
- They do this a couple of times, and then realize what they've got and go
- wailing into a beautiful 60's do-wop with the sheep doing the back-up:
-
- "Ram, Lam, Ramma Lamma Ding Dong"
-
- There was some famous singer doing the lead (I don't remember who it was),
- but I do remember rolling on the floor with laughter.
