"Brotherhood of Man," the big third act number from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, is a song about how all people are ultimately part of the same group and should watch out for each other. The Muppets performed it in the special I Love Liberty to conclude their re-enactment of the Second Continental Congress.

Years earlier, on Sesame Street, the Anything Muppets sang the song in Episode 0006.

  • A jazz instrumental version of the song was heard as the punchline of a Simon Soundman sketch. After Simon's departure, shopkeeper Marvin remarks that he should have asked his customer to join his band, but instead of the word "band," an instrumental of the song's chorus emerges.
