The quirky showtune "De Lovely," frequently called "It's De-Lovely," was sung by Ethel Merman, Scooter, and Gonzo as part of a musical medley in episode 122 of The Muppet Show.
The song was originally introduced on Broadway by Ethel Merman and Bob Hope in the 1936 musical Red, Hot and Blue! It was subsequently interpolated into revivals of Anything Goes.
