"You wanna put my chest in your chest?"

"All of Me" is the opening number on episode 108 of The Muppet Show. As the Whatnot Monster sings to a female monster (Miss Kitty in drag), he removes each of his body parts (including his heart, which could be seen on the outside of his chest) and places them all in a small box.

Considered a standard, "All of Me" was originally introduced in 1931 by Belle Baker. It was recorded four times (with four different arrangements) by Frank Sinatra, and has been covered by countless other artists.
