Singin' in the Rain

"Singin' in the Rain" was the title song from the MGM movie of the same name, released in 1952. It was a hit, however, from the time it was published in 1929, and has been recorded by numerous artists. It was included in the early Hollywood sound movie "The Hollywood Revue of 1929".

The Muppet Show

 * Rich Little and Fozzie Bear sang a verse of this song as part of a medley in episode 204 of The Muppet Show.


 * When Gene Kelly guest starred in episode 501, the Muppets tried to get him to perform this as the closing number. He refused to sing it, stating that he realized that he could never do as good of a job as he did when he sang it in the movie. Eventually he gave in and sang it backstage.

Sesame Street

 * Prairie Dawn directs Grover in a movie production of the song, but it doesn't rain when it should.


 * A sample of "Singin' in the Rain" is played in the Guy Smiley sketch "The Weather Show", as Guy presents rain.


 * A sketch where The Count directs Liam Neeson in Transylvania 6-5000 ends with it raining, so The Count changes the title to "Counting in the Rain".


 * Episode 4173 of Sesame Street features a brief reference to the song, where during Oscar's musical number, he dons a top hop and swings around the lamppost in the rain with a broken umbrella as a music cue from "Singin' in the Rain" plays.
