"After You've Gone," is a jazz standard that has been recorded by a variety of artists, including Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, and Frank Sinatra. It was sung by Judy Garland in the 1942 movie For Me and My Gal.
An instrumental version of "After You've Gone" is performed as the UK Spot in episode 504 of The Muppet Show. It features Nigel conducting Floyd, Zoot, Janice (on banjo), Animal, Rowlf, Lips, and the Trumpet Girl (on trombone) in the orchestra pit.
The number is performed similarly to "How High the Moon" in episode 524. Both are instrumentals performed as UK Spots by the orchestra in the pit, and the shots of the individual musicians follow the same order.
Footage from "After You've Gone" can be seen during the end credits of the UK VHS and DVD releases of The Very Best of the Muppet Show: Volume 1 and Volume 2.
