In episode 209 of The Muppet Show, Kermit says that he's gotten a lot of letters asking if frogs can tap dance. In response, he sings and dances to "Happy Feet." Ironically, the audience never sees his feet during the number. Instead, multiple Kermits are seen on the screen at the same time, but all from the waist up.
In promotion for the second season of The Muppet Show, Kermit performed an abridged version of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on September 13, 1977.
The song was also performed by Kermit in the stage shows The Muppet Show: On Tour! and Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and Roses. At Jim Henson's Musical World, the song was performed by Kermit, Scooter, and Gonzo as part of a medley of Muppet songs. Kermit also sang the song with a frog-legged Bobby Moynihan in The Muppets Take the Bowl and The Muppets Take the O2.
