Episode 312: James Coco

James talks Kermit into adding some "razzle-dazzle" to the show. He gets some Spanish dancers to dance through the Swedish Chef's banana split recipe, and they interrupt every time he's about to chop the banana. He throws the peel on the floor, making the dancers slip. Despite that failure, James persuades Kermit to hire some dancing girls for Veterinarian's Hospital.

Highlights

 * James sings "Short People" with a backup of tiny Muppets, but he's emabarrassed when the 8-foot Thog calls him "Shorty".
