"Ascot Gavotte" is a song from the Broadway musical My Fair Lady. It opens the second act, performed by a group of genteel spectators as they calmly express their excitement at the Ascot races, the lyrics undercut by their deadpan stiffness.
The song was performed by various Whatnots and pigs to open the Camelot medley in The Muppet Show episode 305.
