Sesame Street Do-op Hop With Kermit
Kermit the Frog and the cows sing "Do-Op Hop."

The music video takes place on a countryside setting featuring Kermit as the main singer and two cows as back-up singers (voiced by Ivy Austin and Patricia Rabe)[1].

At the end, Kermit himself is tossed so crazily that his bottom ends up high in the air (see picture).
An a cappella version with altered lyrics was also sung by Jamal, Angela, and other cast members, Muppets, and kids in the video Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration!
