"Hey, Look Me Over" is a song from Act I of the 1960 musical, Wildcat, originally performed by Lucille Ball as Wildcat Jackson.
A recording of the song by Mel Tormé and Margaret Whiting was used on Sam and Friends for an episode broadcast on February 20, 1961.[1][2] It was also going to be performed on Sesame Street in Episode 0042 but it was either never filmed or never used on the show.[3]
The Muppets revisited the song in the 1973 NBC special, Keep Us Beautiful. A quartet of garbage Muppets sing new lyrics, emphasizing their impending take over of the Earth.
