"Any Old Iron" is a British music hall number which was the UK Spot for episode 214 of The Muppet Show. It is sung by Kermit the Frog, who is then joined by Fozzie Bear, two Whatnots, and the audience.

One of the Whatnots is missing a pupil throughout the number. Louise Gold performed that Whatnot and noted in an interview that this was the last sketch filmed for the episode, and there was only time for one take.[1]

Notes[]

  • In 1957, Peter Sellers recorded a rendition of the old English Music Hall song, in a voice he created for The Goon Show, Willium "Mate" Cobblers. It reached #17 in the UK music charts that year.
  • Fozzie is dressed as a Pearly King, a traditional cockney market character.
