Hey a Movie!

Words and Music by Joe Raposo

This was the opening song from The Great Muppet Caper. It takes place in a busy street, where Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, and The Great Gonzo change into their reporter gear and try to find a good cover story for the newspaper they work for. Gonzo decides to take a picture of a chicken, and as this happens, Nicky Holiday and his gang of jewel thieves steal Lady Holidays diamonds, causing a lot of car accidents and other catastrophes in the process. But Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo don't notice. Also during this sequence, Sweetums falls down a sewer hole, a group of monsters take over a truck that they were caged in, and Richard Hunt makes an on-screen cameo as a taxi driver.

This song was also sung during the end credits by the muppets as they were on parachutes. Almost everybody in the scene, even Lips, get's a line (the only muppet not to get a line in this scene is Zoot).

The muppets also sang this song at the start of The Muppets Go To The Movies.
