The on-screen title differs from the legal name registered with ASCAP.
"Do-Op Hop" is, appropriately, a doo-wop song sung by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street. The music video takes place on a countryside setting featuring Kermit as the main singer and two cows from the band How Now Brown and the Moo Wave as back-up singers. Some other animals are seen in the background during the main chorus and are supposedly trying to hop like Kermit (which is really the puppeteers tossing the animals into the air). At the end, Kermit himself is tossed so crazily that his bottom ends up high in the air (see picture).
An a capella version was also sung in the Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration! video, although Kermit was not one of the singers.
