    • Trivia
      Of all the musical numbers they cooked up for the show, the one the producers were most proud of was created from Harry Belafonte's request for a meaningful piece, which had the singer singing "Turn the World Around" with puppets made to resemble traditional African tribal masks. Harry Belafonte also sung it at Jim Henson's funeral.

      Kermit the Frog: [reading from script] Uh, Thank you, thank you... Fozzie, this is not going to work.

      Fozzie Bear: Just read off the page, frog.

      Kermit the Frog: Um... Leggies and genglefins. "Leggies and genglefins"?

      Fozzie Bear: Let's see.

      Kermit the Frog: It says "Leggies and genglefins."

      Fozzie Bear: All right, so my typing is bad.

      Kermit the Frog: Leggies and genglefins, welcun again to tie Mupple Shocks. Uh, my name is Kermit the Forg... The Forg?

      Fozzie Bear: Come on, pick up the pace. Here we go.

      Kermit the Frog: And our spegial guest stap is the amazing Hapry Bela... That's Harry Belafonte, folks.

      Fozzie Bear: Kermit, your timing must be off. You should be getting big laughs with that stuff.

      Kermit the Frog: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Harry Belafonte!

    • Crazy credits
      There is no regular theme song to the end credits for this episode; Harry Belafonte and the Muppets are still doing the "Turn the World Around" vocals while the credits roll, and then there is a single note from the saxophone.
